Drake and Kanye West continue to perplex fans with their fluctuating relationship. Both are among the greatest rappers in history and have openly acknowledged their influence on each other's careers, yet their dynamic remains ambiguous, oscillating between friendship and rivalry.

It seemed unlikely that Drake and Kanye West would reconcile in 2024, but recently, Drake surprised many by following Kanye on Instagram. The gesture was subtle but significant enough for fans to quickly take notice.

Signs of a shift began emerging when Kanye performed an epic set of over seventy songs in South Korea last week, including his classic hit "I Wonder." Before performing the song, Kanye dedicated it to Drake, saying, "This one’s for Drake," which left the audience puzzled.


Drake did not directly comment on the tribute but included Kanye in his ongoing "100 Gigs" project shortly afterward. Two days later, Drake shared unreleased footage from the 2013 OVO Fest, where he spoke about Kanye. In the footage, Drake praised Kanye to his team, saying, “Yo, that was crazy! That’s real rap sh*t. We don’t communicate with each other enough, and sometimes when we get on that stage, it’s an outpouring of emotion.”

Drake acknowledged feeling competitive with Kanye but also admitted to being a huge fan. “I’m the biggest Ye fan. Period,” he declared. “Sometimes I feel like I can’t like it because I gotta go against it. But that sh*t tonight was almost therapeutic.” It seems both artists might be reassessing their relationship.




The concert shout-out, the footage, and the Instagram follow mark a significant departure from their previous animosity. Notably, Kanye had been highly critical of Drake just a few months ago.

In April, he inserted himself into the Kendrick Lamar feud and released a remix of "Like That," targeting Drake and his business dealings. Kanye even expressed his excitement about Drake’s "elimination" in a subsequent interview. Given these developments, there is renewed speculation about the potential for future collaborations between Drake and Kanye West.
