Kanye West has revealed that he thinks Drake can still recover from his beef with Kendrick Lamar – see what he had to say below.
Yesterday (February 3), West and his wife Bianca Censori courted controversy on the Grammys red carpet when she took off her jacket to reveal a completely see-through dress, revealing her nude figure. The stunt was reportedly done to replicate the album cover of ‘Vultures 1’, his ¥$ collaborative album with Ty Dolla $ign. Shortly after, the couple left the Grammys and did not attend the main ceremony.
Shortly after the ceremony wrapped, Kanye reportedly hosted an afterparty where he screened the premiere of his The Download interview with Justin Laboy, per Billboard. In a clip of the interview that has since made its way onto social media, Laboy and West spoke about Drake and how he can move forward from his intense 2024 feud with Kendrick Lamar.
In a clip, West briefly agrees when Laboy declares that “Kendrick killed Drake”. West noted that he though Drake was only on the losing end “for now” before adding: “You can’t ever count out Steph Curry. That man might get 200 points in one song or something.”

West goes on to explain: “You know what it was is, like, look at the Tyler, the Creator freestyle that he did. ‘That Guy,’ right? Drake added something to the algorithm, to our frequency. He advanced us. Future advanced us. And now, Kendrick has advanced the frequency.”
Kanye’s comments after he appeared to side with Kendrick last year amidst the Compton rapper’s feud with Drake when he dropped a remix to ‘Like That’. Kanye’s involvement at the time came as part of his longtime drama with Drake.
At the Grammys, Kendrick Lamar swept the awards, winning five awards, all for ‘Not Like Us’. The rapper won two of the night’s biggest awards: Record of the Year and Song of the Year. He also won Best Music Video, Best Rap Song and Best Rap Performance – check out the full list of Grammy winners here.
‘Not Like Us’ was crowned the second best song of 2024 by NME, writing: “‘Not Like Us’ packaged intelligent, intensely researched character assassinations into a fierce, booming DJ Mustard-produced club hit. Though his savage, accusatory wordplay grabbed the headlines, it was Lamar’s dissection of Drake as “coloniser” that truly underlined his pure vitriol.”
