Kanye West Thanks Drake for Writing Some of His Raps During China Concert
Kanye West surprised fans at his recent concert in China by giving a shoutout to Drake for helping him write some of his rhymes. The unexpected gesture marks a shift in their tumultuous relationship, which has seen its fair share of ups and downs.
During the performance of his 2018 hit “Yikes,” Kanye took a moment to thank Drake for writing the chorus. This revelation comes on the heels of a video surfacing of Drake recording a reference track for the same song as part of his 100 Gigs content dump.
While Drake was credited as a songwriter on the track, tensions between the two artists were high at the time due to Drake’s beef with Pusha T, a close collaborator of Kanye’s. Despite their past conflicts, Kanye’s recent acknowledgment of Drake’s contribution shows a willingness to bury the hatchet and move forward.
This public display of gratitude comes just weeks after Kanye dedicated a performance to Drake during a concert in South Korea. The friendly gestures between the two artists stand in stark contrast to Kanye’s previous disses aimed at Drake in his music and interviews.
As fans speculate about the future of their relationship, one thing is clear: Kanye’s acknowledgment of Drake’s help in the studio adds a new layer to their complex dynamic. Only time will tell if this newfound appreciation will lead to a collaboration between the two hip-hop heavyweights.
