ICYMI, Drake and Kanye West are not on good terms. This year has been a pretty bad one for their friendship.
After Pusha T released a pretty savage diss track towards Drake, with the help of Kanye West, things were just going downhill for the former collaborators. In case you forgot, Drake and Future helped West write “Father Stretch My Hands” on The Life of Pablo, West’s last huge album.
Pusha T hit Drake, and Drake came back to hit West–hard. But, when Pusha came back again, Drake fell silent. People were wondering why Drake hadn’t hit West and Pusha T again with a better diss track. Then, a fan theory online emerged with some pressing information: Drake kept silent because he had an affair with Kim Kardashian. Boom.
The thread, which is detailed to specific lines in Drake’s new album Scorpion that hints at the affair between him and Kardashian, claims that Drake doesn’t want to “ruin” West’s life with this information he has. People have also seen similarities between Kardashian and Drake’s social media posts.
But, Kim Kardashian has denied all allegations that she’s slept with Drake.
Drake, however, seems to be continuing the beef with Kanye West. In a clip from a new song with French Montana, Drake seems to slip a line about telling “a girl” not to wear Yeezy’s around him–which many assume is Kim herself.
“Keeping it G I told her don’t wear no 350’s round me.”

Now, after the affair rumors have gotten to the media and reporters, Kanye West has broken his silence on the Drake feud by using–what else–Twitter. West decided to go balls-to-the-wall with apologies and begging for forgiveness from the rapper, clearly not wanting to stir the pot.
He started off by sending good energy to Drake.
Sending good energy and love to Drake and family and crew???
I haven’t seen the show in person but the images look incredible online
I understand where the confusion started pic.twitter.com/oxSEEbNB1g

He went on to apologize for “stepping on Drake’s release date.”
Let me start by apologizing for stepping on your release date in the first place … We were building a bond and working on music together including squashing the issues with Cudi at our office.

When I put the dates up I was a bit ramped up doing 25 tweets a day TMZ happened shortly after … I have to hop on the plane now… will type more when I land
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) September 5, 2018
plane taxiing for take off… because we spoke about doing Lift Yourself together I should have given you the opportunity for us to do this together before I released it

He also denied having a hand in any diss tracks Pusha made against Drake.
since we were building as friends and brothers I should have spoken to Pusha about the Quentin Miller bar. There should have been no songs with my involvement that had any negative energy towards you
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) September 5, 2018
I never listened to either diss track that followed but I did hear quotes from both songs after they were released

He denied the accusations that he told Pusha about Drake’s son. Part of the theory was that Drake had flown to Wyoming to play Scorpion for West, admitting he did have a child. The rumors were that West played it for Pusha, who used the information against him.
I did not have any conversations about your child with Pusha. I don’t play with the idea of people’s children after I spoke to Wiz a few years earlier.
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) September 5, 2018
He also said he understands where Pusha was coming from though.
I understand Pusha’s issues as a man if someone mentions your fiancé men go mask off. I’ve done the same myself at times. I love you and I love Pusha and we all have an admiration for each other’s craft.
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) September 5, 2018
But, he claims he’s coming to his show to “show nothing but love.”
This is all Jedi level. I will be coming to your show within the next seven days to give love and be inspired by the art you have created.

People can’t stop laughing at Kanye’s apology, thinking that Drake must have some dirt on West.
