The over one decade-long beef between Yeezy and Drizzy appears to be back on.
According to Vanity Fair, the feud was reignited on Friday when Kanye West allegedly popped off in a group chat between him and Drake after the Toronto native seemingly took shots at Kanye and rapper Pusha T.
Drake’s verse on “Betrayal” by rapper Triple Redd said, “All these fools I’m beefin’ that I barely know / Forty-five, forty-four (burned out), let it go / Ye ain’t changin’ s*** for me, it’s set in stone.”
Yikes.
In a now-deleted Instagram post, Yeezy allegedly posted a screenshot of a group text that Pusha T was added on.
His response went straight for Drizzy’s jugular.
“I live for this. I’ve been f***** with by nerd a** jock n***** like you, my whole life. You will never recover. I promise you.”

Hot New Hip Hop reported that Rick Ross, who’s friends with both rappers, weighed in on the beef telling fans it wasn’t as deep as people thought.
The publication also detailed parts of an interview Ross did on Sirius XM’s The Mike Muse Show.
The “Diced Pineapples” rapper said about the beef, “I love it.”
He also added that Drizzy sent him a text message before the drama ensued that read, “Everything is unfolding. I’m about to be as free as a bird.
“And I just, I couldn’t do nothing but put ‘hahahaha’ because to me, I understand the genius to both of these artists, and I understand this is nothing personal to them,” Ross opined. “This is two levels of creativity inspiring each other. Because they both are right now thinking of the artwork, thinking of the credits. Where do we place, what color is this, and to me, it only makes the game that much more genius, that much more valuable.”
Whether or not the beef is real remains a question.
However, it’s provocative as hell.
We wish both rappers much success.
