So, is the rivalry over? Or did Drake just add another chapter in his on-going Kanye West feud by mentioning Yeezy in his new song? Hip-hop fans aren’t certain what Drake did on ‘Wants & Needs.’
Drake got hip-hop Twitter talking after mentioning Kanye West on “Wants and Needs,” one of the three songs released on his new EP, Scary Hours 2. In the track, which features Lil Baby, Drake, 34, brings up Ye, 43, at the end of his first verse. “Forty-two millimeter was made in Geneva / Yeah, I probably should go to Yeshiva, we went to Ibiza / Yeah, I probably should go link with Yeezy, I need me some Jesus / But soon as I started confessin’ my sins, he wouldn’t believe us.”
The fan reaction was mixed. There were some who say this as a positive: “I knew Drake would mention Kanye on his new songs, but I’m glad it was in a positive way this time. Would love them to squash the beef.” “Drake and Kanye West Beef over? We need another Collab.” Some thought that Drake was being shady. “Drake mentioning wanting to see Kanye again on a song that features Kanye’s favorite rapper. you love to see it.” “Drake mentioned Kanye so he gonna have a public meltdown in about 12 hours.” “Sooo y’all think it’s a diss or nah??? I’m not sure because it definitely sounds like one but drake never name drops.” “That Kanye bar drake said was straight heat.”
