Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

It was all a blur.

Following a busy year on the road, Drake will conclude his ‘It’s All A Blur, Big As The What? Tour’ at Newark, NJ’s Prudential Center on Thursday, April 4 and Friday, April 5 .

He’ll be joined by Hip-Hop icons Lil Wayne and Lil Durk at both gigs.

And if you want to see Drizzy, Weezy, and Durkio one — or two — last times before the tour officially comes to a close, it isn’t too late to snatch up last-minute tickets .

At the time of publication, the lowest price we could find on seats was $164 before fees on Vivid Seats.

General admission floor tickets start at $467 before fees.

If that sounds expensive, be aware that Champagne Papi and co. don’t short-shrift their audiences. Based on our findings at Set List FM, Drake typically performs 35-40 songs while Lil Wayne and Lil Durk get in ten or so apiece.

Still need a few more details before smashing that buy button ?

Lil Wayne Is Joining Drake's “It’s All A Blur Tour — Big As The What?”

Today (March 5), Live Nation confirmed that Drake is expanding his “ It’s All A Blur Tour — Big As The What? “ with two additional performances at Newark’s Prudential Center. Scheduled for April 4 and 5, the New Jersey shows will feature Lil Wayne. 

Ticket presales will begin on Drake’s official website on Wednesday (March 6) for Cash App card members. Meanwhile, general sales begin on Friday (March 8). Lil Durk will be opening for both concerts as a supporting act. However, J. Cole is excluded from the lineup.

Additionally, Drake fans in the tri-state area have more opportunities to catch him live, with two prior concerts at UBS Arena in Long Island, New York on March 28 and 29. Lil Wayne is also billed for these dates. The New Orleans native will also join the “IDGAF” rapper for additional performances in Florida at Amerant Bank Arena on March 23 and 24 and a stop at Penn State University’s Bryce Jordan Center on March 31.

Check out the venue announcements below.

Lil Wayne and Drake have an extensive list of collaborations, including “ The Motto ,” “She Will,” “Right Above It,” “Love Me” and “HYFR (Hell Ya F**king Right).” While there’s no telling what tracks the pair will do a rendition of together, the Toronto artist’s tour setlist was revealed to be over 53 songs in February.

Drake previously praised his long-time mentor at the Black Music Collective pre-Grammy event in 2023. “I know I’d probably get annoying with saying how much you mean to me and my family, but I think I speak on behalf of everybody when I say that our careers, our cadences, our melodies, maybe our face tats, or our outfits, or our decisions, in general, would not have been the same without your natural gift to just be yourself,” he said.

On the music side, Lil Wayne’s last project came in the form of Welcome 2 Collegrove with 2 Chainz. The November 2023 release boasted features from Rick Ross, Fabolous, Vory, Usher and 21 Savage. Since then, he’s teamed up with Rob49 for “Wassam Baby” and French Montana for “Splash Brothers.”

Drake’s Philanthropy Shines As “It’s All A Blur Tour” Shows Wrap With Lil Wayne & Lil Durk

Drake is wrapping up his successful “It’s All A Blur” tour, which started off as a raunchy, bra-throwing extravaganza and turned into an unprecedented show of giving.

Drizzy is wrapping up his successful “It’s All A Blur” by adding additional stops featuring special appearances by Hip-Hop icons Lil Wayne and Lil Durk.

The tour, which kick-started a wave of anticipation among fans worldwide, will conclude with two shows in Newark, NJ, at the Prudential Center on April 4 and 5, 2024. Throughout the tour, Drake has seamlessly woven acts of kindness into his itinerary, transforming his musical journey into a mission of mercy that resonates far beyond the stage.

Among the most notable of these acts was an early tour stop where Drake made a $100,000 donation to one cancer survivor and $25,000 to another who had just beat stage 4 cancer, demonstrating his support for those battling the disease.

The most recent act of kindness came right before the announcement of the tour’s extension, when Drake offered to pay off one of his fans’ deceased mother’s $160,000 mortage.

These moments of generosity have not only endeared Drake further to his fans but have also spotlighted the power of celebrity influence in driving positive change in the community.

Tickets for the new shows will be available starting with a Cash App Card presale on Wednesday, March 6, followed by the general onsale on Friday, March 8 at 10AM local time at drakerelated.com .

This announcement comes on the heels of Drake’s highly successful 2023 It’s All A Blur Tour, which saw 50 sold-out shows across North America and featured the majority of dates with J. Cole.

His latest studio album, For All The Dogs, continues to dominate streaming charts and his dedication to spreading positivity has been a hallmark of his 2024 tour, making each concert not just a performance, but a platform for change.

"When there was Drake, I was just standing and when Lil Wayne came out, I was dancing every song" - Jelena Ostapenko on vibing at Miami concert

Jelena Ostapenko recently picked Lil Wayne over Drake as her preferred rapper to vibe to.

Ostapneko defeated home-favorite Jessica Bouzes Maneiro 6-3, 6-1 in the second round of the 2024 Miami Open on Thursday, April 25, after having received a bye in the first.

It wasn't a cakewalk for the Latvian that the scoreline might suggest as Maneiro challenged her serve four times and succeeded twice. Ostapenko, however, outdid the Spaniard by converting six out of seven break points.

After the match, the ninth seed sat down with Indian-American former player Prakash Amritraj for an interview on Tennis Channel . One of the things Amritraj brought into the conversation was Ostapenko attending Drake's concert on the sidelines of the Miami Open in March this year.

Ostapenko hilariously revealed vibing to Lil Wayne's guest performance more than Drake's at the concert.

"I think it was nice but honestly the part of the concert where it was Lil Wayne, I liked way better. I don't know I felt his vibe and music was so nice," Jelena Ostapenko said (at 2:42).

The World No. 10 continued:

"When there was Drake, I was just standing, I was not dancing much, and when Lil Wayne came out, I was like dancing every single song even I didn't know them. After the concert, I started to listen to a lot of Lil Wayne's songs."

Jelena Ostapenko: "I like 50 Cent too"

During the aforementioned conversation, Jelena Ostapenko further disclosed her liking for 50 Cent.

"50 Cent, I like 50 Cent yeah too," she told Prakash Amritraj.

The World No. 10 then rued missing out on a 50 Cent concert that happened in Latvia's capital city Riga last year.

"There was a concert last year in Riga but I wasn't there so I was really sad that I couldn't go. Hopefully, he will come soon or maybe I'll be in some city where he will have a concert," she added.

As far as her on-court business at the 2024 Madrid Open is concerned, she is set to take on Argentina's Maria Lourdes Carle who has impressed everyone with her performances.

Carle entered the main draw through the qualifiers and has defeated Emma Raducanu 6-2, 6-2 and Veronika Kudermetova 6-4, 6-4 in the previous rounds. Also, Ostapenko has no experience of facing Carle as it will be their first-ever on-court meeting.

Drake leaves Jelena Ostapenko cold, Lil Wayne brings the vibe

Jelena Ostapenko has lifted the lid just a little on her taste in music as she revealed that Drake’s performance at the Miami Open left her unimpressed.

Drake’s strongest connection to sport probably comes in the form of his infamous gambling curse. If the Canadian rapper has money on you to win there is every chance that you are going down.

However, Ostapenko says that the concert wasn’t a dead loss as she really enjoyed the performance of Lil Wayne.

“I think it was nice but honestly the part of the concert where it was Lil Wayne, I liked way better. I don’t know I felt his vibe and music was so nice,” Ostapenko said in a chat with Prakash Amritraj at the Tennis Channel desk in the Caja Magica.

“When there was Drake, I was just standing, I was not dancing much, and when Lil Wayne came out, I was like dancing every single song even I didn’t know them. After the concert, I started to listen to a lot of Lil Wayne’s songs.”

Ostapenko also revealed that she enjoys the music of American rapper 50 Cent.

“50 Cent, I like 50 Cent yeah too,” she told Amritraj.

“There was a concert last year in Riga but I wasn’t there so I was really sad that I couldn’t go. Hopefully, he will come soon or maybe I’ll be in some city where he will have a concert,” she added.

Ostapenko started her Madrid Open campaign with a win over home hope Jessica Bouzas Maneiro that eased her into the competition.

She has set out her stall to be more aggressive this season and it will be interesting to see how she folds that strategy into her game on clay.

“I felt like last few years the game was kind of there, but not very consistent. Maybe like sometimes,” Ostapenko said.

“Now I’m just trying to play little bit maybe more aggressive. It sounds funny, but in deciding moments I feel like it is what I was not doing the right way last few years. I feel like now I’m doing it better.

” I think it’s more mental because I could always, like, be aggressive and hit the ball hard. Sometimes I felt like, even it sounds funny, I was trying to play for sure in deciding moments, maybe make an opponent to miss the ball. That’s not really my game.

“Even if I miss a few balls here and there, I feel like I need to stick to my aggressive game and do what I have to do.”

Staten Island musician is opening act for Lil Wayne as star rises: ‘I came a long way from the open mics at the Full Cup’

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — Staten Island musician William Starda Perry, known as Starda, has taken his musical talents on the road, performing as the opening act for Lil Wayne, Grammy-Award-winning rapper, singer, songwriter and record executive, at national stops for the Lil’ Wayne Tour.

Starda has appeared onstage at the Nebraska, Iowa and Washington stops of the Lil Wayne Tour and is promoting his upcoming EP, “The Starda Party EP,” with producer, Ron Browz. Starda has been featured on playlists globally with Nems, and hometown favorites, Shyheim and Reakwon.

“It’s an honor to share the stage with some of my biggest musical influences like Lil Wayne, Ludacris, T.I. and so many more,” said Starda. “This is my third international tour within a year and first arena tour. I came a long way from the open mics at the Full Cup.

“I’ve been working in the community for over a decade. I’m excited to show the world what Staten Island has to offer, and appreciate all the support I’ve been getting from my borough. Having a legend like Ron Browz not only produce my project, but be my DJ, and perform his hits on my set is still crazy to me.”

For years, Starda has made a positive impact on Staten Island in a range of ways, from anti-gun violence youth initiatives to finance and career empowerment to supporting and hosting community events.

Starda officially kicked off his rap career with the release of “The Starda Kit, Vol. 1,” in 2022. This six-track project introduced Starda’s motivational style, smooth delivery and deep voice reminiscent of Pop Smoke’s essence.

“We’ve been on the road all year. I’m excited for the world to hear what we have in the works,” he added.

Additional dates of the Starda Party Tour, produced by his record label, Banks and Roses Society in association with The Last American Boy, include:

June — Bangkok with the World League Of Fighters

June 13 — Texas with Ludacris, Soulja Boy, Bow Wow, and Young Joc

July 5 —Texas with T.I., Chingy, Ying Yang Twins and Young Joc

ABOUT WILLIAM STARDA PERRY

Starda, an acclaimed Hip-Hop recording artist, actor, entrepreneur and philanthropist hailing from Staten Island, has independently created more than 100 youth programs across New York City and organized live shows for up-and-coming artists in the tri-state area.

In 2020, with live music events drastically reduced due to COVID-related shutdowns, Perry’s WeJustWorkin LLC event and media production agency took a backseat. In 2021, he partnered with entrepreneur and music producer Philly Diamond to establish the independent music label Banks And Roses Society (B.A.R.S. Productions LLC).

In early 2023, Starda unveiled his second EP named “Swagg Durty and She Love It,” a project focused on women’s empowerment as part of Women’s History Month celebrations. Following the release of the music video for the EP’s lead single “Who You,” Starda collaborated with film director and MCEE, The Last American BBoy.

The Last American BBoy proposed the concept of a series called “Rapper in Thailand” to Starda. This series led to his enlisting BBoy and 2x Boxing World Champion, Shannon Briggs, as guest stars for the series, which led to his first collaboration with recording artist Ron Browz, to produce Starda’s hit single “Hola”.

After receiving his successful stint in Thailand, Starda returned home. A month later, an opportunity arose for his B.A.R.S. Label to independently organize a 5-month promotional tour with Ron Browz across the U.S.

The track “Hola” quickly gained popularity among fans and DJs, being played in major clubs and radio stations across America. Simultaneously, Starda expanded his brand by collaborating with BBoy on various films, earning him credits as an executive producer and leading roles as an actor.

In December 2023, Starda embarked on a solo international tour, spending three months touring Thailand. During this tour, he completed his third EP “Starda Party,” entirely produced by and featuring Ron Browz, and released it in April 2024.

In the spring of 2024, the “Starda Party” tour kicks off in the United States. This time, Starda will grace arenas and festival stages alongside artists like Soulja Boy, Bow Wow, Ludacris and T.I., among others. Additionally, Starda will make appearances on select dates for the Lil Wayne & Friends tour.

Following the release of their latest EP, Banks and Roses Society will unveil the inaugural issue of their Sci-Fi Adventure comic book series, featuring Starda as the lead character named after the label.

Drake and Ye — formerly known as Kanye West — have just about seen it all throughout their decorated careers. The pair of rap titans have been friends, collaborators, mentors, enemies and more over the course of the last 15 years.

The 6 God once hailed Ye as the “most influential” person on his sound, and he’s gone on to live out his “Thank Me Now” lyrics of seeing his idols become rivals, as Drizzy and West are currently entrenched in a feud with no sign of reconciliation on the horizon.

Drake Vs. Everybody: Here Are All of The Stars Involved in the Rap Civil War

After meeting in Hawaii, West took Drake under his wing and directed the music video to his So Far Gone breakout hit “Best I Ever Had” in 2009.

By the mid-2010s, they were working on a collab project that could’ve shifted the paradigm in hip-hop, but the rappers went their separate ways and have been sending shots in an on-and-off-again feud since.

It was thought that their beef was finally squashed for good in December 2021 when J. Prince helped broker a truce for Drake and Ye to reunite on stage at the Free Larry Hoover Benefit concert in Los Angeles.

However, their relationship eventually went awry again. In April 2024, West threw his hat into the ring to enter the rap civil war, going against Drake when hopping on a remix to Future, Metro Boomin and Kendrick Lamar’s Hot 100 No. 1 hit “Like That.”

Check out Billboard ‘s timeline about how Ye and Drake got to this point in their love-hate relationship over the years.

September 2007: Drake Freestyles Over "Barry Bonds"

Drake showed respect to Ye from the early days of the latter’s career while freestyling over the thumping “Barry Bonds” beat on Drizzy’s 2007 Comeback Season mixtape. “Barry Bonds” was on Ye’s Graduation album as a Lil Wayne collaboration, which arrived shortly after Drake’s mixtape; it’s unclear how Drizzy got the beat ahead of time.

September 2008: Drake Freestyles Over"Swagga Like Us"

Rap’s ultimate posse cut arrived in ’08 with T.I., Jay-Z, Lil Wayne and Ye joining forces for “Swagga Like Us.” The braggadocios track peaked at no. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 . Drake wanted in on the hip-hop titans teaming up, and freestyled over West’s production to showcase he can go toe-to-toe with the best the genre has to offer.

February 2009: Drake Makes Ye's '808s & Heartbreak' Opener His Canvas

Drake’s breakout mixtape So Far Gone included another hat tip to West by making the desolate electro-pop 808s & Heartbreak opener “Say You Will” his own canvas, which he repackaged as “Say What’s Real.”

May 2009: Drake Calls Ye the 'Most Influential Person' on His Sound

Drake showered Ye with praise in a 2009 interview with MTV. Drizzy had met the “Good Life” rapper months prior in Hawaii while West was working on My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy .

“Before I ever got the chance to meet him, Kanye West shaped a lot of what I do, as far as music goes,” Drake said at the time. “We always, always, always took the time to listen to Kanye’s music and appreciate it beyond. We searched the samples and we find out where his inspiration came from, because he has one of the best ears in music, period. He knows how to recognize great music that’s not his. He knows how to utilize great sounds and great music. So before I met him, I had the utmost respect for Kanye West. I’d even go as far as to say he’s the most influential person as far as a musician that I’d ever had in my life.”

May 2009: Ye Says Drake Had the Best Bar of '09

Ye returned the favor when crowning Drake with the best line of 2009 on Young Money’s “Every Girl.”

West wrote on his Kanye Universecity blog: “Drake said, ‘Do you like girls like I do?? Les-bi-honest!!!!!’ Best line of the year so far!”

Drake later told MTV in response to the props: “I feel like it’s funny, because that’s something he might have said. [But] it’s an honor that he’s even looking at me as somewhat of an equal, somewhat of a peer. I think he’s one of the greatest to ever do it.”

July 2009: West Directs Drake's "Best I Ever Had" Video

Ye put his creative vision to work when hopping behind the lens to direct the visual for Drake’s “Best I Ever Had” anthem. West had Drake play the coach of a women’s basketball team that certainly wasn’t lacking in the breast department.

August 2009: Drake & Kanye West Team Up With Eminem & Lil Wayne for "Forever"

Drake may have missed out on “Swagga Like Us,” but he made sure to find his way on the next hip-hop posse cut. “Forever” served as a knighting of sorts with Eminem, Ye and Lil Wayne welcoming Drizzy into rap’s pantheon.

April 2010: Kanye West Produces on Drake's Debut Album 'Thank Me Later'

West wasn’t featured as a vocal guest on Drake’s Thank Me Later , but produced the island-tinged “Find Your Love” and is credited as a co-writer on the 2010 debut album track. Ye also produced a song titled “You Know You Know,” which didn’t make the final album’s cut and ended up leaking months later.

November 2010: Drake Credited on Ye's "All of the Lights" & His Verse Leaks

Drake is credited with providing additional vocals on the luscious “All of the Lights,” in which Kanye spared no expense and brought in myriad talented collaborators to contribute to the My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy standout.

While he’s barely on the original album version, an unofficial “All of the Lights” remix arrived following the track’s release, and finds Drake alongside Lil Wayne and Big Sean.

January 2011: Drake Swipes at Jay-Z & Ye While Teasing Lil Wayne Joint Album

Drake appears to take a jab at Ye and Jay-Z as they prepared to deliver Watch the Throne during his 2011 Tim Westwood interview.

“I heard some other guys are coming out with an album too,” Drake said while teasing that he and Wayne were teaming up for a joint project. “There’s two other rappers that are coming out with an album together. I don’t know where they got that idea.”

October 2011: Drake Says It's His Goal to 'Surpass' West

Drake shows love to Ye and says it’s an “honor” to be even compared to him, but makes it known it’s a competition out there, and his plans were to one day “surpass” West’s accomplishments in hip-hop.

“It’s an honor. When I was a kid trying to figure out what I liked, it was Ye who I related to the most. He was an artist, in every sense, from his cover art to his music. Now, I would say, he is [a] really great competitor and friend,” he told The Source . “My goal is to surpass everything he’s accomplished. I don’t want to be as good as Kanye — I want to be better.”

August 2013: Ye Appears at Drake's OVO Fest

Ye made an appearance at Drake’s OVO Fest in 2013. “Me and Hov would’ve never made  Watch the Throne  if [Drake] wasn’t putting pressure on us like that, so I just want to pay my respects,” West said on stage. Drake called Ye’s support at his festival the “most important moment in my career to date.”

February 2014: Drake Snipes at 'Yeezus,' West Responds

Drake jabbed at some of Ye’s bars on Yeezus . “There were some real questionable bars on there,” he told Rolling Stone . “Like that ‘Swaghili’ line? Come on, man. Even Fabolous wouldn’t say some s–t like that.” However, he saluted West as the “reason” he’s here.

Ye responded on the Yeezus Tour, not leaning into the feud and claiming it was all “love” between both parties. “They always be trying to pit n—as against each other and it ain’t going down no more. So, tonight it ain’t none of that. We love Drake,” West told the New Jersey crowd.

March 2015: Ye Says Drake Inspired Him to Hit the Studio

A decade into his career, Ye needed a push creatively, and Drake’s run of hits helped provide that inspiration to hit the studio and take things to another level in the mid-2010s.

“Someone who’s like, ‘Come on, man, get back up!’ I was sitting there getting fat. Sitting back, just knocked everybody out. And then this guy hits the gym, he’s just running around like, ‘Pow, 14 hits’ I’m like, ‘Whoa. Let me go to the studio, then. Let’s see what’s happening. Let me get these lyrics up,'” Ye told Clique . “So, that’s where we at right now, that’s where you getting these records from.”

January 2016: Drake Boasts His Pool Is Bigger Than Ye's

Drake kicked off 2016 with “Summer Sixteen,” in which he flexed about allegedly having a bigger pool in his backyard than his Calabasas neighbors Kanye West and Kim Kardashian. “Now I got a house in L.A., now I got a bigger pool than Ye/ And look man, Ye’s pool is nice, mine’s just bigger’s what I’m saying/ I’m that n—a’s what I’m saying,” he raps.

February 2016: Drake Earns Writing Credit on 'The Life of Pablo'

Drake is credited as a co-writer on The Life of Pablo sleeper “30 Hours” featuring André 3000. Drizzy allegedly recorded an early demo , and the reference track leaked on social media following TLOP ‘s arrival.

August 2016: Ye Pulls Up to OVO Fest & Teases Drake Joint Album

Ye made another OVO Fest appearance in Toronto, where he ran through a mini-set and teased that a collab album with Drake was on the horizon. “This man is the reason I’m on this stage. My biggest inspiration,” Drizzy said to the audience about Ye.

Later that month, billboards hinting at the joint project began popping up, reading “Calabasas is the new Abu Dhabi” with the logos of OVO and Ye’s G.O.O.D. Music.

November 2016: Ye Rants About Drake & DJ Khaled's "For Free" Dominating Radio

West took the stage in Sacramento on Nov. 19, 2016, in what would end up being the final date of the Saint Pablo Tour, as he was hospitalized days later and canceled the rest of the trek due to extreme exhaustion and stress. In his final minutes on stage, the rapper went on a stream of consciousness in which he in part ranted about the success of DJ Khaled and Drake’s multi-platinum “For Free” dominating radio airwaves.

“We can love each other, but the rules gotta be fair,” he said. “Khaled, and Drake, and radio, and Doc, and 92.3 and everybody — is it just me or did you hear that song so many times? You say you wanna play it ‘For Free’? Ayy, ayy, you know what it is, though.”

February 2017: Drake Responds to Ye's Radio Rant

Drake responded to Ye’s radio rant targeting his and DJ Khaled’s “For Free” in an interview with DJ Semtex. The OVO boss also alluded to how he and Yeezy were working toward a joint album, so dissing him didn’t make sense.

“Because in the same breath, I went from, like, working on a project with him, to him sorta publicly s—ting on me and DJ Khaled for being on the radio too much,” he said. “I’m not sure why we’re the target of your choice that you made that night. And yeah, I accept what you’re going through, and I just go and continue working on my own thing.”

March 2017: Drake & Ye Toast to 'More Life'

Drake recruited West to appear on his More Life playlist, and the duo teamed up for the underwhelming “Glow.” At this point, the OVO honcho and Yeezy’s relationship was starting to fracture, and the rap titans haven’t collaborated on a track in the years since.

May 2018: West Produced Pusha T's "Infrared" Taking Shots at Drake

Pusha T sniped at Drake on Daytona’s closing track “Infrared,” which is produced by West (he helmed the entire project). King Push taps Drizzy with ghostwriting allegations by bringing up Quentin Miller, who was credited on several tracks of Drake’s 2015 mixtape If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late . “It was written like Nas, but it came from Quentin,” Pusha raps.

May 2018: Drake Responds With Shots at Ye on "Duppy Freestyle"

Drake quickly responded to Pusha T with “Duppy Freestyle,” but it wasn’t only King Push in his crosshairs, as there was plenty of smoke for Ye too. Drizzy puts West on blast because Drake allegedly helped Ye complete a handful of recent records.

“I’ve done things for him I thought that he never would need/ Father had to stretch his hands out and get it from me/ I pop style for 30 hours then let him repeat,” Drake raps.

June 2018: Drake Releases 'Scorpion' Album, Joe Budden Believes It's Filled With Shots at Ye

Drake released his Scorpion album in June 2018 while Ye was rolling out his string of G.O.O.D. Music projects. Fans and industry critics alike speculated Drizzy was jabbing at West throughout the album. Joe Budden theorized on his eponymous podcast that verses on “Emotionless” and “8 Out of 10” were connected and taking aim at Ye.

“He bodies this flip of the word ‘good’ throughout this whole song. So much so, if you’re not really paying attention you think he’s just using the word good — he ain’t. Owls are a sign of good luck, correct? What I think he’s saying is they’re switching camps,” Budden suggested.

August 2018: Ye Denies Feeding Pusha T Information About Drake's Son

Pusha T alleged that Drake was hiding a son in diss track “The Story of Adidon.” Fans speculated that Ye was the one to feed Push the information about little Adonis — whose existence was previously not public knowledge — since Drake reportedly headed to work with Kanye in Wyoming months earlier, but West denied sharing the news.

“I’m Ye. I got major things to do other than be telling him some information about Drake,” Ye said to WGCI . “I honestly don’t care that much, in all honesty. When we talk about the Drake thing, it hits me in a really sensitive place because you hang around people and they come to your house and be around your family and this and that.

“And then they get mad about a beat and send you purple demon emojis. We understand that he got upset about [‘The Story of Adidon’]. I feel that it was insensitive for him to, in any way, stress me out in any way after TMZ, while I’m in Wyoming healing, pulling all the pieces together, working on my music.”

September 2018: West Apologizes to Drake for Role in Pusha T Feud

Yeezy attempted to broker a peace treaty between OVO and G.O.O.D. Music with Drake and Pusha T’s feud simmering. West sent his well wishes and tried to clear the static .

“Sending good energy and love to Drake and family and crew,” West tweeted at the time. “I haven’t seen the show in person but the images look incredible online. I understand where the confusion started.”

Ye also went on to publicly deny giving Pusha the information about Adonis for “Story of Adidon.” He apologized for stepping on Scorpion ‘s release date with his string of G.O.O.D. Music releases in June 2018, in addition to how he released “Lift Yourself” himself as a troll after promising Drake he could hop on it.

“There should have been no songs with my involvement that had any negative energy towards you,” Ye added.

September 2018: Kim Kardashian Denies Drake Rumors

West’s wife at the time, Kim Kardashian, shut down rumors that she had been romantically involved with Drake in the past. The Shade Room posted an Everyday Struggle clip of Nick Cannon and DJ Akademiks speculating whether the reality star and Drake had ever hooked up, and she hopped into the Instagram comments section to deny the rumors. “Never happened,” she wrote. “End of story.”

September 2018: Ye Demands Drake Deny Kim K. Romance Rumors

Ye went on another Twitter rant calling for Drake to put an end to the speculation tying “Kiki” — whom Drizzy references on “In My Feelings” — to Kim Kardashian.

“The fact that people are making rumors and thinking that you f–ked my wife and you’re not saying anything and you’re carrying it well like that,” Ye said at the time. “Don’t sit well with my spirit. You know, if I had a girlfriend from Chicago and her name was Ranita and you were married to Rihanna, I wouldn’t make no song called RiRi. So when you’re like, ‘Oh, I don’t know where it comes from.’ You’re too smart for that, bro. You know where it came from.”

October 2018: Drake Feels Ye Manipulated Him With Wyoming Invite

Months after the dust settled following the Drake and Pusha T drama, fans were still searching for answers. The 6 God pulled up to The Shop , where he opened up about his trip to Ye’s writing camp in Wyoming earlier in 2018.

Drake revealed he allegedly played Weest unreleased music, including “March 14,” which includes references to his son and baby mama that the public didn’t know about yet.

“He sold me on this whole speech of like, ‘I’m in a great place, I’m making money, and I’m a father, and I wanna be Quincy Jones and help you,'” Drake said. “‘But in order to do that, you’ve gotta be transparent with me, you gotta play me your music and you gotta tell me when you’re dropping. And I know you don’t like to do things like that.’ I guess we all kind of felt a genuine vibe from it, so I played him my music and I told him when I was dropping.”

He continued to say he felt manipulated and betrayed by Ye for confiding in him about certain things regarding his growing family. Drizzy reportedly even showed him a photo of his son, and claimed that Ye lied about working on an album slated for the summer ( ye dropped in June).

“I tell him I’m having trouble with my son’s mother. We had a conversation,” Drake added. “Oh, this guy’s trolling me. This was like a manipulative, like, ‘I wanna break you’ thing. I said, ‘Alright, I’m gonna go back to distancing myself again. I know what this is.'”

December 2018: Ye Demands an Apology & Meetup With Drake

Another day, another Ye rant in 2018. West used an alleged text seeking clearance for Drake’s “Say What’s Real” to go to streaming (The So Far Gone track sampled Ye’s “Say You Will”) to go after the 6 God once again.

“This proves s–t faker than wrestling for mentioning the 350s and trying to take food out your idols kids mouths,” he tweeted, seeking an apology for Drizzy’s “No Stylist” jab. “Been trying to meet with you for six months bro. You sneak dissing on Travis [Scott] records and texting Kris Jenner talking bout how’s the family. Sending purple emojis when I’m dealing with mental s–t I need my apologies now. Not through Scooter [Braun] either. Not through Travis.”

December 2018: Y Claims Drake Is Threatening Him

Ye exploded in a lengthy tweet rant that went on for more than 125 messages, reigniting his feud with Drake. It was seemingly sparked by a phone conversation between the two during which Ye claimed Drizzy threatened him. “So Drake if anything happens to me or anyone from my family you are the first suspect — so cut the tough talk,” he wrote at the time.

“There would never be a Drake without a Kanye West so never open your mouth with a threat,” Ye continued.

West didn’t stop there: He referred to Drake as a “bully” and demanded Drizzy “leave … [his] family alone.” The epic rant also spawned the famous “He running around like he Pac” tweet.

December 2019: Drake Addresses the Feud on 'Rap Radar'

Drake sat down for a two-hour interview with Rap Radar, discussing a multitude of topics, including his issues with Yeezy, which he said he had no interest in patching up.

“That’s where all of this stems from,” he said of West and his war with Pusha. “It’s all rooted in that situation, yes. I think that [Ye] definitely recruited a guy with a similar dislike for me no matter what he says in interviews. I know that there’s something there that bothers him deeply and yeah, I can’t fix it for him. It just is what it is.”

However, he’s wasn’t going to walk back the past praise he’d showered on Ye. “He’s still my — obviously with the exception of Lil Wayne and if I look at Hov — as the guy who truly shaped the majority of my thinking, skillset, all those things, Kanye West would be my favorite artist all around,” Drake declared. “And that’s just facts. I have no problem saying that. Things have changed. I’m not just some kid that’s a fan anymore. Now we have personal situations, and like I said, a lot of his issues with me, I can’t fix them for him.”

August 2021: Ye Seemingly Doxxes Drake Following Trippie Redd Collab Diss

Drake reignited his beef with Ye ahead of their album showdown with his guest verse on Trippie Redd’s “Betrayal.” The OVO mogul wasn’t considering any kind of armistice. “All these fools I’m beefin’ that I barely know/ 45, 45 (Burned out), let it go/ Ye ain’t changin’ s–t for me, it’s set in stone,” he raps.

Ye got wind of the jabs and appeared to dox Drake by revealing what may have been Drizzy’s Toronto address before later deleting the tweet. He entered his “Joker” era with more threats at the 6 God. “I live for this. I’ve been fucked with by nerd a– jock n—as like you my whole life. You will never recover. I promise you,” he declared.

Drake didn’t take anything too seriously, as he shared an Instagram Story laughing off West’s latest antics.

August-September 2021: Ye & Drake Go "Back to Back" With Album Showdown

The feud reached a head with Ye stepping on another Drake release date by cutting him in line with Donda arriving four days before Certified Lover Boy . Both albums debuted atop the Billboard 200. Donda moved 309,000 album-equivalent units in less than a full sales week before being replaced at the summit by Drake as CLB sold 613,000 album units .

December 2021: Kanye West & Drake Reunite for Free Larry Hoover Benefit Concert

Drake and Ye agreed to put their differences aside for the greater good in a prison reform fundraiser spreading awareness surrounding the incarcerated Gangster Disciples leader Larry Hoover. Rap-A-Lot Records co-founder J. Prince helped broker a meeting to arrange the unlikely peace treaty as Ye and Drizzy agreed to hit the stage for the Free Larry Hoover Benefit concert.

The pair of rap titans put on a united front while running through plenty of hits from their decorated discographies at the Coliseum show in Los Angeles.

“I appreciate Kanye for having me up here tonight,” Drake said on stage of the surreal scene that didn’t seem possible a couple of months earlier. “It’s important that we make this happen. When we were walking through the arches right there it felt like a dream. It felt surreal. It was something I always wanted to do being on stage with my idol as he’s running through one of the best catalogs in music, period.”

April 2023: Drake Samples Kim Kardashian for "Search and Rescue"

Drake stirred the pot with Ye once more with his “Search and Rescue” single. Drake elected to use himself and a mystery woman in motorcycle helmets as the cover art, which some speculated to be Kim Kardashian. However, it was quickly debunked and uncovered that the woman in the artwork is artist and model Lilah Pi.

Although Kardashian’s voice is sampled on “Search and Rescue,” it was a quote from the reality star talking to her mother on Keeping Up With the Kardashians about her divorce from Kanye that ended up making the cut. “I didn’t come this far, just to come this far and not be happy,” she cryptically said on the series finale.

November 2023: Drake Blasts Yeezy's Truce on "Red Button"

2023 couldn’t expire without Drake getting another dig in at Ye. The 6 God returned in November 2023 to deliver his For All the Dogs Scary Hours Edition . Drake blasts West on “Red Button” for using their truce as a setup to go behind his back, and he’s not falling for any of his olive branches anymore.

“Every time you need me for a boost, I never hesitated/ Every time that Yeezy called a truce, he had my head inflated/ Thinkin’ we gon’ finally peace it up and get to levitatin’/ Realize that everything premeditated,” Drake raps.

April 2024: Ye Releases "Like That" Remix

West was only going to stay quiet so long as a rap war waged, especially with a plethora of rappers ganging up on Drake. Yeezy delivered a remix to Future and Metro Boomin’s Kendrick Lamar-assisted Drake diss track “Like That” on April 20.

The remix isn’t on streaming services, but is available on West’s website. Ye took aim at Drake and brought up the 6 God’s reported massive licensing deal with Lucian Grainge’s Universal Music Group.

“Where’s Lucian? Serve your master, n—a/ You caught a little bag for your masters, didn’t ya/ Lifetime deal, I feel bad for n—as/ Y’all so outta sight, outta mind/ I can’t even think of a Drake line,” he raps.

Days later, on April 22, Ye hopped on Justin LaBoy’s The Message podcast, where he credited the “elimination of Drake” as his inspiration for dropping the remix.

“[Future] called me and I went to the studio and laid that. We went through the creative process of adding the chords and called the Hooligans out in London to get on the joint,” Ye explained. “Everybody was very, very energized about the elimination of Drake.”

He continued: “You say rich baby daddy it’s like Drake has a rich baby daddy named Lucian and Universal. It’s like, ‘My daddy got it. My daddy control the spins. My daddy got the DSPs.’ Drake has a rich baby daddy named Lucian.”

The Museum was opened on Sportivnaya metro station on November 6, 1967. It features the most interesting models of trains and stations.
