Kanye West
Drake’s New Song Is Crazy …
Defends Rapper After Series of Tirades
Published
Kanye West‘s taking a break from his usual online tirades to celebrate a fellow rapper … ’cause the self-proclaimed “Nazi” just shouted out Drake‘s new song.
The rapper took to X Saturday to laud praise on Drizzy … specifically his new “Gimme A Hug” track — the song where Drake touched on his rap feud with mortal hip hop enemy Kendrick Lamar.
Ye wrote, “Gimme a hug is incredible. Sheeeeeeesh” — not exactly the most descriptive review … but, definitely a positive one from the controversial rapper.
Worth noting … Drake is Jewish — and, obviously Kanye has made notable antisemitic comments over the years, so it’s a little surprising he’s showing support for the actor-turned-rapper here.
West — who’s headed toward divorce with his wife Bianca Censori — has posted pretty much nonstop on X since his shocking Grammy’s appearance with a basically naked Bianca … including posts where he’s described himself as a “Nazi” and another hers where he called for Diddy‘s release from prison.
Elon Musk ultimately censored Ye’s account … but, not because of the antisemitic tweets — instead, it’s because Ye was posting too much pornography.
BTW … while “Gimme A Hug” has a response to Kendrick on it — the reaction to the response was pretty lukewarm. Many felt it didn’t live up to the scorched earth nature of “Not Like Us.”

DJ Akademiks says Drake told him the album’s not about the Kendrick beef … which may explain why he seems to skip over it so quickly in the song.
Looks like at least one rapper’s still down with Drake … though Drake may not be excited about the Ye association.
