Is Drake Trying to Restart Kanye Beef?
Is Drake trying to get back on Kanye "Ye" West's bad side? Sure seems like it, as the rapper just issued "Search and Rescue," a single that features Ye's ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, on both a sample and the cover photo.
News that "Search and Rescue" had some sort of Kim Kardashian reference actually surfaced in late March but the song didn't release until midnight on April 7, debuted alongside an enigmatic cover image of Drake and a mystery woman clad in motorcycle helmets.
Tellingly, mere hours before Drake revealed the cover art and premiered "Search and Rescue," Kim Kardashian uploaded an image to Instagram of herself wearing a motorcycle helmet at a go-kart track . Coincidence?
Fans were quick to put two and two together, though neither Drake nor Kim tagged each other in their Instagram posts or even acknowledged the very timely photographs.
Drake is practically begging to restart his beef with Ye, a decades-long battle that was squashed back in late 2021, when Drake and Ye shared a stage in a historic performance meant to benefit incarcerated Gangster Disciples co-founder Larry Hoover.
This came mere months after Drake's Certified Lover Boy had toppled Ye's Donda in the streaming wars, the cap to a weeks-long series of strange disses and weirdly personal attacks.
Drake has mostly kept silent on Ye in recent months, however, following Ye's anti-Semitic outbursts.
Why would he want to even risk getting on Ye's bad side, anyways?
Drake simply didn't comment on the entire affair, nor did he weigh in during Ye's attacks on Pete Davidson in early 2022.
Ye's anti-Pete campaign began once word got out that the comedian was dating Kim Kardashian in the wake of her divorce from Ye, mind you.
Let's not assume anything too crazy here but is it possible that Drake's Kim sample and collaborative photo is a teaser of the next insane A-list relationship? That is to say: could Drake and Kim actually be dating?
Probably not. Right? Right??
Because, if they were, hell would hath no fury like an anti-Semitic, hateful Kanye scorned, secret new wife or not.
