Ye continued, “As we become more civilized and more sophisticated, the style of rap that he was doing was more sophisticated than the style of rap that I grew up on…he created this thing that actually has good melodies in it, you know, good music in it that became massively accessible. So it’s sort of like the iPhone.”
The two famously feuded in 2018. At the time, Ye went on a Twitter rant about the “Fair Trade” rapper after fans speculated that his then-wife, Kim Kardashian, was the mysterious “Kiki” in Drake’s hit song “In My Feelings.” Following the chatter, however, Kim publicly denied the rumors.
The rappers’ beef continued well into 2021 after Ye reportedly posted Drake’s Toronto address online.
Drake appeared to have the last laugh when he released his new album, Certified Lover Boy, on Sept. 3 and seemingly addressed the incident on one of his tracks.
Despite their drama, Ye reiterated on Drinking Champs that he really has nothing but love for Drizzy.
“I love Drake,” he admitted. “I was just telling you things that he was doing in a professional game of rap that was throwing me off. And then, OK, I bit his ear, and that’s what happened, that was Mike Tyson.”
