Fans seemed to call back that Drake was throwing subtle shots at Kanye for taking him off of West's Grammy Laurels winning single "All Of The Lights". He revealed in a radio interview,

"Kanye'south artistic process is ever-irresolute. [I don't know why I] was removed.We brand music differently. I make what comes to me and I hate changing it, whereas 'Ye will change something 30 or twoscore times to get information technology perfect. To each their own, and the change was to put all those people on it, and I wasn't 1 of them. That's completely OK."

However, the then 23-yr old reaffirmed that he's still 1 of Kanye's biggest fans. He added,

"I tin can never sit hither and tell you that's not one of my idols, that's non one of my favorite rappers. Whatever energy I've ever felt is irrelevant. When you enquire me, 'What do I retrieve of Kanye West,' I'mma always have something positive to say."

2011

By this time, Drake was no longer just Lil Wayne's Immature Money signee; he was the go-to guy in music, period. During an interview, the young rapper declared,

"Now, I would say [Kanye] is a actually peachy competitor and friend, at the same time. My goal is to surpass everything he's accomplished. I don't want to be as good as Kanye, I want to be meliorate."

That'due south the only way my bulletin gets across accurately."

I'chiliad washed doing interviews for magazines. I just want to give my music to the people. That's the only way my message gets across accurately.

But they set that song up, bro."

"[I was] confused. Because in the same jiff, I went from like working on a project with him, to sorta publicly sh***** on me and DJ Khaled for existence on the radio also much. I'm not sure why we're the target of your choice that you made that night. And yes, I accept what you're going through, and I just go and go along working on my ain thing."

The Views rapper connected on in the interview, calculation that because of Jay-Z and Ye'due south undisclosed feud at the time, Drizzy concluded upward removing Kanye's verse from the original version of his 2016 record "Popular Style" which featured both members of The Throne.

"I'k not actually sure the details between how that conversation was miscommunicated or what they were going through at that time, or what anybody felt towards me or whatever it was, I'm not really sure but next thing I knew it just became a bit of an issue."

2018

Things got really in spicy in 2018 when Kanye's GOOD Music creative person, Pusha T, released his tertiary album Daytona, featuring the song "Infrared" in which the Virginia rapper slightly dissed Drake and his ghostwriter, Quentin Miller, rapping:

"It was written like Nas but it came from Quentin."

"What do you really call up of the northward---a that's makin' your beats?/ I've done things for him I idea that he never would need/ father had to stretch his hands out and get it from me/ I popular style for 30 hours, so let him echo."

Pusha T wasted no fourth dimension responding to the diss tape. He dropped his "Story Of Adidon" diss record, which marked a significant shift in hip hop, Drake'due south life and the Canadian rapper'due south human relationship with Kanye Due west. In the song, Pusha revealed to the world that Drake had a son that few people knew about — and Kanye was i of them.

"You are hiding a child, let that boy come up habitation. Deadbeat m******* playin' border patrol, ooh."

The bluster continued with West accusing Drake of threatening his family and trying to become close to his then wife Kim Kardashian.

"I've never mentioned or touched on anything related to family when it came to Drake. He followed my wife on Instagram he mentioned Pusha's fiancé in a song.I don't ignore people and I besides don't let people **** with me."

"I need a publicly amends from J Cole and Drake to start with immediately. I'one thousand Nat Turner. I'one thousand fighting for united states."

2021

Both Cole and Drake kept mum about the tweets. So much so that fans thought the beef between Ye' and the half dozen God had come to an end. Simply Drake's verse on Trippie Redd'south "Betrayal" didn't sit well with Kanye, who took the bar as a shot at his age. Drake rapped,

"All these fools I'one thousand beefin' that I barely know/ 45, 44 (burned out), let information technology become/ Ye own't changin' **** for me, information technology'southward prepare in stone."
