PAST

Two hip-hop greats are back again with heads together as the team up for something huge for fans to witness them squash beef. Walking back to their relationship, amahiphop could recall Kanye’s first shot when he took drake off his “All of the Night” from his My beautiful Dark twisted fantasy.  An unreleased verse later circulated online which Drake was critically acclaimed for.

Time went on but Drake was after surpassing his Idol. You could call it a dream or a nightmare but Drake was really after getting bigger than Kanye whom he called his Idol at a time. Drake later came out to tell the Source back in 2011 how much he liked Kanye as a kid. He went ahead calling him a Friend but competitor saying he wants to surpass everything Kanye ever accomplished. (Did Ye prove him wrong?)

Fans hadn’t heard a word from Kanye not until drake began throwing shades and dissing him on tracks from Dj Khaleds I’m on one to dissing both JayZ at the time. This was when Kanye and Jay were about releasing a joint album. Amahiphop recalled drake saying, “There’s two other rappers that are coming out with an album together… I don’t know where they got that idea.” before threatening to take Kanye’s throne on DJ Khaleds I’m on one.

In 2016, Drake mentioned Kanye in his new song, Summer sixteen where he referenced Kanye’s pool. “Now I got a house in LA, now I got a bigger pool than Ye,” he rapped pointing out. “And look, man, Ye’s pool is nice, mine’s just bigger’s what I’m saying.” This prompted a response from Kanye saying he had three and its good to know about that.

Drake also had a famous fallout with his rival pusha T which also added more fuel to the fire between him and ye. Pusha T’s been calling out drake for using ghostwriters and both of them have been sending shots to themselves on tracks from pusha T’s “Don’t F*ck With Me” freestyle to Drake’s “Two Birds, One Stone” where he refered to pusha T as a priviledge kid.

Kanye seem to be quiet not until his friend pusha told the world about drake’s son, Adonis who he claimed to have been abandoned by drake. “Your father walked away at five, hell of a dad thing, you are hiding a child, let that boy come home/ Deadbeat mothaf*cka, playin’ border patrol/Adonis is your son”, he rapped in the track “The Story of Adidon”.

While the Drake Pusha T fued was till on, Kanye took Twitter to call out drake for being fake as wrestling as he shared screenshots of drake in his Dms asking for a clearance to a track “say what’s real” which is a remake to Kanye’s “Say you will” in 2009.  The screenshot also had Ye asking for Drake’s apology for “mentioning the 350s and trying to take food out of your idols kids mouths” stating that drake shouldn’t go through people but come in person.

Although it wasn’t fanny, drake responding to ye with a video of him laughing at what Kanye did.  Fast forwarding 2021, rumors had that Drake seemed to be dating Kim, Kanye west’s wife just after they filed for a divorce. The rumors went wild and drove fans crazy especially for Drake’s confidence. Drake later cleared the rumors when he was asked if it was true by responding, “Obviously not”.
