Kanye wades into Drake and Kendrick Lamar's feud
Kanye West has weighed in on the simmering feud between Drake, J Cole and Kendrick Lamar.
The spat has been escalating since last year, when Cole referred to the trio as “the big three”, a description that Lamar forcefully rejected.
West, a long-time adversary of Drake, has now added his two cents, on a remix of Lamar, Future and Metro Boomin’s song Like That.
“I can’t even think of a Drake line,” he said, attacking the star’s lyrics.
West also criticised Drake’s record deal with Universal Music, suggesting he’d sold the rights to his music for “little bag” (money).
“Lifetime deal? I feel bad for [you],” he said.
West’s remix was premiered on Justin Laboy’s radio show The Download – and opened with the line “Yo Dot, I got you,” a reference to Lamar’s nickname, K-Dot.
He only played a snippet of the song and, although a fuller version later leaked online, it was unclear whether that was genuine or fan-made.
