Tensions Flare Between Drake & Kanye West After Apparent Diss On Trippie Redd’s “Betrayal”

Longstanding tensions between Drake and Kanye West appear to have sparked anew this weekend after Drizzy took an apparent shot at ‘Ye on Trippie Redd’s new song, “Betrayal.” Kanye’s longtime collaborator Consequence reacted to the bars on Twitter, while Kanye himself shared a cryptic screenshot of a group text on Instagram.

Although it’s hard to make out if he’s saying “Ye” or “They,” Drake references a rap beef and calls out Kanye’s age (44) on the verse:

All these fools I’m beefin' that I barely know
Forty-five, forty-four (Burned out), let it go
Ye ain’t changin' sh-t for me, it’s set in stone

Consequence posted a screenshot of the lyrics on Twitter, calling them disrespectful:

Soon afterward, Kanye himself shared a screenshot of a menacing message sent in a group chat. The recipient isn’t specified, although the photo does show that Drake’s other nemesis, Pusha T, is part of the chat:

On Sunday night, Kanye posted Drake’s home address in Toronto on Instagram before quickly deleting it:

This prompted a response from Drake, who posted a video of himself laughing on his Instagram story:

Although Drake and Kanye West once enjoyed a close relationship and even planned to release a joint album together, things deteriorated between them after Drake’s beef with Pusha-T. Drake accused Kanye of leaking the information about his then-secret child, Adonis, to Push after a studio session in Wyoming, leading to biting personal lyrics on the diss track “The Story of Adidon.” Pusha refuted this claim, saying he found out from a girl who was sleeping with Drake’s longtime production partner, Noah “40” Shebib.

Drake was also upset that Kanye had released “Lift Yourself” as a nonsense troll song after promising him the beat, as well as coordinating a dueling rollout for G.O.O.D. Music’s 2018 albums while Drake was putting out Scorpion. Kanye said Drake had been “sneak dissing” him on songs like “No Stylist” and “SICKO MODE.”

It seems this won’t be the last we hear of their ongoing feud, with both Drake and Kanye expected to drop their respective albums Certified Lover Boy and DONDA in the coming weeks.
