Kanye and Drake have a complicated relationship, to put it lightly. They were friendly collaborators for roughly a decade, but tensions spilled over by the end of the 2010s. The two started sending subliminals, and then Ye’s close collaborator Pusha T came for Drake in a widely publicized and child-hiding feud. By mid-2021, however, they were fully at war.
Drake and Kanye West‘s beef seems like it will go on forever. After Ye threw a spicy “f**k you” the 6 God’s way, he responded with a hilarious 50 Cent video that will stand the test of time.
The Toronto superstar shared his reply via Instagram Stories. The clip was a condensed version of the G-Unit leader’s classic video where he looks into the camera while saying, “I woke up and I look at the computer and the computer said Floyd said, ‘F**k T.I., f**k Nelly and f**k 50.’ I’m like, ‘What he say f**k me for?’ Nelly f**ked your first baby mama Melissa then took your f**kin’ fiancé. Say f**k that ni**a.”
In an apparent response, the “In Da Club” rapper posted the iconic video in 2014 after his longtime rival Floyd Mayweather dissed him. It has been used incessantly over social media ever since then whenever someone is questioning why they are having shots thrown at them.
Drake’s reaction is understandable. Kanye West mentioned his name while celebrating his Vultures 1 record “Carnival” going No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. In true Ye fashion, he turned the happy moment into an opportunity to call out his naysayers.
“Rich [The Kid] Ty [Dolla $ign] [Playboi] Carti and the supporters that stood by us through everything This number #1 is for you. It’s for the people who won’t be manipulated by the system,” he wrote on Monday (March 11) in a now-deleted Instagram post. “And f**k adidas and everybody who works there or with them. Anyone who goes to school with anyone who’s parents work at adidas. Just know they tried to destroy me and here we are with the number 1 song in the world. Like the fake dude I saw in the lobby at the Ritz that works at Goat You pu**ys don’t stand for sh*t.”
He went on to throw a “f**k you” at Daily Mail, fashion houses, and Christians, friends, and family members who sat by while his kids were taken from him before turning his attention to the For All The Dogs rapper. “And it’s f**k Drake for taking [Lil] Durk right at the beginning of the Vultures role [sic] out I’ll come back to yall if I think of more f**k you’s,” Ye wrote.
While the Lil Durk accusation is a bit confusing, Drake isn’t fully innocent; he threw some shots at Kanye West within the last few months.
In November 2023, he released the Scary Hours Edition of For All The Dogs and dissed his rival on “Stories About My Brother,” rapping “I can’t wait for the day that you choose to retire your stuff/ Taking off the sneakers ’cause you tired of tying ’em up/ That one day you wake up and tell ’em, ‘Enough is enough’/ That’s how you gon’ find out you not Kobe Bryant to us [laughs]/ Man, you not Kobe Bryant to us… at all.”
Knowing these two, there will be more of this coming within the next year. At least there are some laughs to gain from it.
