Drake Fans Think He’s Trolling Kanye West With “Search & Rescue” Cover

We thought that the long-standing feud between Drake and Kanye West ended when they joined forces for the Free Larry Hoover benefit concert. Though the two were all smiles, walking down the Los Angeles Coliseum together, it seems to be all show. The Take Care rapper seemingly took shots at Ye on Her Loss record, “Circo Loco,” where he suggested that he only patched things up with the Chicago rapper because of J Prince. Unfortunately, that doesn’t seem to be the only shot he took at Ye recently.

Last week, The Boy debuted his single, “Search & Rescue” which earned praise from his fans, though there was also a bit of controversy that followed. During the song, he samples a conversation between Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner discussing the SKIMS founder’s divorce from Kanye West. That alone left fans with the impression that Drizzy was trolling his nemesis, though Dennis Graham, the Canadian rapper’s dad, insisted that wasn’t the case. “Drake is not trolling anyone, it’s just a song. Why try and create a Kanye and Drake beef again?” Graham wrote.

Is Kim Kardashian On Drake’s “Search & Rescue” Artwork?

Something seemed familiar when Drizzy shared the artwork for “Search & Rescue.” The cover art includes a photo of the rapper and a woman wearing motorcycle helmets. However, the individual that isn’t Drake bore similarities to Kim Kardashian. A few days after the song debuted on OVO Sound, Kim shared a selfie of herself in the helmet, and many felt that the cover art references the photo.

So far, Kim Kardashian, Kanye nor Drake have commented on the controversy surrounding the single. However, it seems like it could be referenced in the next season of The Kardashians if anything. Still, Kanye previously said that he has no intentions of pursuing the feud any further. After appearing on podcasts and interviews praising the Toronto rapper, he said that he wasn’t going to breed any more issues. Will “Search & Rescue” change that? Who knows but people are certainly losing their minds over the cover art. Check a few reactions below and let us know your thoughts on Drake’s latest single in the comments.

Drake Releases His New Single “Search & Rescue”

Drake hinted at a new project when he performed at the Apollo Theater and it looks like he wasn’t joking. The Her Loss rapper debuted his new single, known as “Rescue Me” on OVO Sound Radio last Friday. Following a joint project with 21 Savage and a foray into house music, the record felt like a return to form for Drake, even down to the petty addition of a Kim Kardashian sample. Overall, fans hoped that the record would finally drop on DSPs, and this morning, he delivered.

The Certified Lover Boy is back in his bag on his new single, “Search & Rescue.” SadPony and BNXY (with additional help from Lil Yachty, 40, Wesley Curtis, and BEAUTIFULMVN) form the moody production while Drizzy’s kicking emotive melodies which are riddled with a touch of auto-tune. The song stays to its original form with the Kim Kardashian sample, as well, while Drake reflects on his search for true love and settling with one woman. 

Drake Comes Back Strong

With the release of “Search & Rescue,” we hope that this means Drake’s revving up to drop off some new heat before the summer. Sure, he just blessed us with Her Loss only a few months ago but he already began teasing Scary Hours 3. Though there hasn’t been any clear indication if it’ll drop later this year, it’s hard to think that Drake was simply being generous when he shared his new single. 

The song also comes on the heels of Drake’s performance at Dreamville Festival. Drizzy and J. Cole co-headlined Sunday night with a star-studded spectacle. While Cole brought fans through a journey of his catalog, Drake pulled out some show-stopping guest appearances. Lil Uzi Vert, GloRilla, Lil Wayne and 21 Savage came through to perform a few songs. Later this year, Drake and 21 will embark on the It’s All A Blur tour in support of Her Loss. Check out “Search & Rescue” above.

Quotable Lyrics
I don’t really know how to confess my love
Really seein’ that God wanna test my love for you
Don’t know how to express my love
That’s why I American Express my love for you

What Does Kim Kardashian Say About Kanye West On Drake’s ‘Search & Rescue’?

It’s officially New Music Friday, and of the slew of new tracks that dropped at midnight, what has so far stood out the most is Drake’s new one, “Search & Rescue.” The track has actually been making headlines for a few days now, when Drake previewed it and revealed it featured a sample of Kim Kardashian talking about her and Kanye West’s divorce.

What exactly does Kardashian say about Kanye West on Drake’s “Search & Rescue?”

The sample is of a conversation between Kardashian and Kris Jenner, from an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians. The exchange goes:

Kardashian: “I didn’t come this far just to come this far and not be happy.”
Jenner: “OK, that’s fair.”
Kardashian: “Remember that.”
Jenner: “You didn’t come this far just to come this far.”
Kardashian: “Yup. I saw it on the internet [laughs].”

Part of that conversation can be seen in this video:

In that same episode (but not on the Drake song), Kardashian also said:

“I just feel like I’ve worked so hard in life to achieve everything that I’ve wanted to, and I’ve lived up to my expectations and achieved ten times more than I even thought was humanly possible, but I don’t have a life to share that with. Like, I do — obviously my kids and everything — but am I just going to sit here and think, ‘OK, my kids fulfill me and I’m good?’

I never thought I was lonely. I always thought that’s totally fine: I could just have my kids, my husband moves from state to state, and I just am on this ride with him, and I was OK with that. And then after turning 40 this year, I realized, like, ‘No, I don’t want a husband that lives in a completely different state.’ To me, I thought, ‘Oh my god, that’s when we’re getting along the best,’ but then that is sad to me and that’s not what I want.”

Pete Davidson & Kim Kardashian: Relationship Timeline

Business guru Kim Kardashian and former Saturday Night Live comedian Pete Davidson had a whirlwind nine-month relationship. Between their not-so-secret rendezvouses in Staten Island to longer, more private tropical getaways, many fans were rooting for the adorable couple. Unfortunately, in August 2022, the pair announced an amicable split. The pressure of hectic work schedules and the long distance between them could not sustain the relationship. Here’s a detailed timeline of their relationship.

Pete & Kim: How It Started

Kim and then-husband Kanye West attended Kid Cudi’s birthday party in January 2019. That is where Pete and Kim officially meet, but their relationship did not ignite until she hosted Saturday Night Live. Kim hosted the show in October 2022, dishing some all-in-fun jabs at her family. Meanwhile, Kim and Pete performed a skit together as Disney characters Jasmine and Aladdin. The two shared a steamy kiss during that skit, and the relationship blossomed. Later in October, the two visited Knott’s Berry Farm. Even though they claimed to be friends, they were spotted tightly holding hands on a rollercoaster.

The Romance Grows For Pete & Kim

Throughout November, Kim made several trips to New York City, including sharing an intimate rooftop date at Staten Island’s Campania with Pete. Later in the month, the pair were pictured holding hands in Palm Springs and appeared on Insta together. They were celebrating Pete’s birthday weekend. Their romance was reaching new heights, and the world watched on.

Together During The Holidays

During December, back on Staten Island, the couple hit the town with Scott Disick, the father of Kim’s sister Kourtney’s children. They saw Marvel’s Spider-Man: No Way Home and had dinner at Angelina’s. During the holidays, Kim and Pete were spotted having breakfast together. Later, Pete was seen driving Kim’s Rolls-Royce while shopping.

Kim & Pete Celebrate The New Year

January featured a fabulous vacation for the power couple. They celebrated a delayed New Year’s celebration in the Bahamas. Kim posted gorgeous pictures of herself in a bikini from the vacation. Most fans were positive they could spot Pete’s shadow in one of the pictures.

Pete Drops The “G” Word

By February, the cat was mostly out of the bag for the couple. In an interview with PEOPLE’s talk show, Pete dropped the G word. He admitted that Kim was his girlfriend and that he had a candle with her face on it. Later in March, the two make it Instagram official. Kim announced their relationship via social media posts.

Embracing The Relationship

April was a whirlwind for Kim and Pete. They attend The Kardashians premiere; however, Pete stays towards the side, letting his lady soak up the spotlight. On the 11th, Kim posted new pictures of her and Pete eating pizza and snuggling up close in a restaurant booth, which set off a firestorm of memes. During an interview with Not Skinny but Not Fat the following day, Kim dished about her SNL kiss with Pete. She admitted that she asked a producer for his number.

On the 28th, Davidson played the dutiful boyfriend by joining Kim at the courthouse to support her during the Kardashians’ ongoing legal battle with Blac Chyna. The two were seen embracing after the closing arguments. On April 30, the two hit the red carpet in style when Kim and Pete attended the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

Pete and Kim Shine At Met Gala

The happy couple attended the Met Gala together at the beginning of May. Kim sported the iconic Marilyn Monroe gown. Then, Kim visited Italy to celebrate her sister Kourtney and Travis Barker’s wedding. Even though Pete could not join, Kim kept him close. She sports a pink manicure featuring a “P” made up of rhinestones on her ring finger. By the end of May, Kim and Pete are on Instagram kissing and cuddling with matching blonde hair.

Another Romantic Trip

In June, during an episode of The Kardashians, Kim talked about how her relationship with Pete began. On the 13th, Kim posted several pics of her and Pete on a romantic vacation. In another episode of The Kardashians in June, Pete is heard off-camera during a post-credit talking about a very intimate part of Kim. Later in June, the happy couple took a trip to Tahiti.

Pete Shows Off Kim Tattoos

Kim posts many pictures of her and Pete at the beginning of July. In one photo, Pete appears to have a Kim-inspired tattoo. It is an infinity sign with the names “Jasmine” and “Aladdin.” This new ink is in addition to his tattoos: “knscp” and “my girl is a lawyer” across his collarbone. Later in July, the couple took a private trip to Australia.

The End For Pete & Kim

However, sadly by August, it seemed the fire had gone out of the steamy relationship. Reports surfaced that Kim and Pete called it quits after nine months. They blamed the break up on busy schedules and long distances, making it hard to maintain the relationship.

Drake Is ‘Not Trolling’ Kanye West By Sampling Kim Kardashian’s Voice On A Song He Previewed

Last week, Drake previewed a new song, tentatively titled “Rescue Me,” during The Fry Yiy Show on his SiriusXM Radio station Sound 42. Between verses, the song samples Kim Kardashian, taking a clip of her expressing her tenacious nature during the 2021 season finale and juxtaposing it with Drake’s own persistence. “I didn’t come this far, just to come this far and not be happy, remember that,” she says in the sample.

Fans took this to mean that the Canadian star was once again baiting his old rival Kanye West, who was divorced from Kardashian in 2022, despite the two rappers ending their feud in late 2021. However, Drake’s father, Dennis Graham, shot down that fan theory in the comments of a TMZ Instagram post about it, admonishing fans to let the beef go as the rappers themselves have. “Drake is not trolling anyone, it’s just a song,” he wrote. “Why try and create a Kanye and Drake beef again???????????????”

Drake and Kanye officially settled their dispute in 2021 with their Free Larry Concert in Los Angeles, with Kanye determining that he would “play all Drake music” during basketball games at his now-defunct Donda Academy. Of course, Drake’s also Jewish, so he probably didn’t enjoy West’s displays of rampant antisemitism last year — but he’s also probably too busy showing appreciation to J. Cole to be too worried about Kanye these days.
