Kanye West found an unlikely way to spend his Valentine’s Day – tuning into Drake’s latest musical venture, “$ome $exy $ongs 4 U.”
Kanye’s return to Twitter wasn’t marked by controversy this time. Instead, he shared his appreciation for Drake’s track “Gimme A Hug” from the newly released album, exclaiming, “Gimme a hug is incredible. Sheeeeeeesh.” This endorsement comes on the heels of a tumultuous period for West, who recently made headlines for his offensive remarks on the platform.
Drake and PartyNextDoor dropped their collaborative album, “$ome $exy $ongs 4 U,” sparking varied listener reactions. However, one track in particular, “Gimme A Hug,” caught Kanye’s attention. Within the song, Drake seemingly addresses his ongoing feud with Kendrick Lamar and manages to throw shade at Joe Budden as well.
Drake lyrically muses on the perpetuation of rap beefs and his desire to focus on more joyous pursuits. He raps, “F*ck a rap beef, I’m tryna get the party lit,” acknowledging the tensions while flaunting his superior track releases.
Meanwhile, Joe Budden and Melyssa Ford each offered their takes on the song. Ford, referenced by Drake in the lyrics, expressed a mix of surprise and nonchalance, saying, “I’m just still processing…It’s not the first time, though.” Budden, on the other hand, welcomed the recognition, proclaiming, “I was happy with that.”
Reactions continue to roll in, as fans and critics alike dissect Drake’s bold lyrical choices. With his candid references to past and present rivalries harnessed within the catchy beats, Drake once again demonstrates his knack for controversy.
As fans and critics weigh in on “$ome $exy $ongs 4 U,” Kanye West’s approval spotlights a rare public nod from one giant to another amidst the swirling drama of rap rivalries.
