AceShowbiz - Kanye West and Drake's tumultuous relationship took another turn recently when Ye publicly thanked Drake for contributing to his 2018 track "Yikes." The two sparked feud rumor when Ye appeared on the remix of Kendrick Lamar's song "Like That."
Ye's unexpected shoutout of Drake occurred during a performance in China, showcasing a shift in their dynamic following a period of tension.
In August, Ye also mentioned Drake onstage during a concert in South Korea, leaving fans perplexed. Some speculated that he was showing support while others believed he was using Drake's name for attention.
However, Ye's recent gesture in China suggests a genuine appreciation for Drake's involvement in the song. The shoutout comes after a 100-gigabyte data dump by Drake, which included a clip of him working on "Yikes." This further corroborated Drake's significant role in the track's creation.
While some listeners believe Ye's gratitude is sincere, others question its authenticity, claiming Ye was forced to acknowledge Drake's contribution because of the release of the aforementioned footage.
Despite their past feuds, the shoutout marks a positive development in the relationship between these two rap heavyweights. It remains to be seen whether this reconciliation will lead to further collaborations or if their on-again, off-again dynamic will persist.
