Ye Admits To Being Inspired By Drake And Copying His Music
Drake has been vocal about how much Ye has inspired his artistry for his entire career, even calling him his favorite artist. The artist formerly known as Kanye West recently returned the favor. He hosted another live stream this week with Drizzy's Toronto affiliate Top5, and gave the 6 God props. 'The thing about Drake's music is he got sh*t that's copies of what I do,' West said. Meanwhile, he had no issue admitting that he had tried to duplicate the For All The Dogs artist's sound. 'I'll have copied a Drake flow a lot of times. I got sh*t that once Drake took over the algorithm was copies of Drake.' The Donda 2 artist didn't specify the songs that he was moved by, or which songs of his were copies, but he did reveal some more unknown information. According to Ye, the 'Nokia' artist was going to be featured on Donda and Donda 2. He also claimed that he was supposed to work on the 2022 house album Honestly, Nevermind. The public is well aware of all that Drake and Ye have done for each other. They have collaborated on records like 'Forever' and 'Glow,' plus some contributions beyond just featuring on each other's songs. The five-time Grammy winner wrote 'Yikes' from the controversial artist's self-titled 2018 album, and Ye produced 'Feel No Ways' from Drake's 2016 album Views. Outside of music inspiration, the Chicago producer has been inspired by Drizzy's legal battle with Universal Music Group. 'Yo, I'm so happy right now, you don't understand,' he recently said in a video on X. 'With this UMG, Drake, Kendrick situation, Super Bowl, Grammys — this sh*t was driving me and you know where it should be driving me, but this is the biggest victory in music history right here.' He resolved that he would never insult the father of one again, calling himself 'Team Drake.' Despite his recent critiques of Kendrick Lamar, he said he was also 'Team Kendrick' and 'Team all of us.' He even suggested that K. Dot pursue litigation with UMG. 'Everything is worth everything for a moment like this, where we stop going at each other and we go at the slavemasters.'

Drake Seemingly Declines Being Featured On DJ Khaled's Forthcoming Album ‘Aalam Of God'
Drake has spent the last few months reflecting on fake friends and people who turned on him during, or since, his 2024 rap beef with Kendrick Lamar. Based on his response to DJ Khaled saying he was featured on his upcoming album, the 49-year-old producer might be one of those people. Khaled had been pretty silent over the last year, but he popped out to announce his forthcoming LP Aalam Of God this week. In typical fashion, he was as dramatic as ever with a seven-minute cinematic trailer teasing Drizzy features, another '100 bar' verse from JAY-Z, and his attempt at securing another Rihanna placement. While Khaled's albums tend to be hit or miss, fans typically welcome them because they know he will always have new music from the 6 God. However, this may be the first album in a while that the Toronto superstar won't appear on, per his comment on the promotional Instagram post. 'Must be @drakebell,' he wrote on Khaled's post with an emoji showing a face without a mouth. Colloquially, that is often used in a petty way or to signify somebody has more they could say, but are not at the moment. Drake's comment might have been taken as a joke until DJ Khaled's next move: deleting his album announcement everywhere. This has led to fans wondering what the Miami luminary may have done to the For All The Dogs rapper behind the scenes, especially since he was walking around his shows in 2023 promoting that he had two new Drake songs on his next album. If this is truly the end of the road for Drake and DJ Khaled, they have already given Hip-Hop fans more than enough classics. Over the last 15 years, they released 'I'm On One,' 'For Free,' 'No New Friends,' 'Popstar,' and more. On Khaled's last album, God Did from 2022, the five-time Grammy winner appeared on 'No Secret' and 'Staying Alive' featuring Lil Baby. Watch the 'Staying Alive' music video below.
