Drake’s Dad Says He’s Not Trolling Kanye West With Kim Kardashian Sample

Even after Drake and Kanye West settled their issues, fans believed that the Canadian rapper was still taking shots at his one-time idol. After a few years of taking shots at one another, the two finally came together for the Larry Hoover benefit concert in a public effort to subdue the tension. However, things took a turn this weekend when Drake debuted new music on Sound 42’s Fry Yiy Show. “Rescue Me,” produced by BNYX, includes a sample of Kim Kardashian discussing her divorce from Ye on Keeping Up With The Kardashians.

“I didn’t come this far just to come this far and not be happy. Remember that,” Kim says. Drake’s a bit too calculated to know that it wouldn’t have stirred up an uproar. Fans immediately felt like Drizzy was trolling Ye with that part from his latest record. Meanwhile, comment sections across Instagram bubbled up in the suspense. Now that Kanye returned to the ‘Gram, it felt like he was moments away from a lengthy Instagram caption. 

Dennis Graham Shuts Down Rumors

Though Drake hasn’t confirmed or denied that he was poking at Ye, his dad, Dennis Graham, slid through with a bit of commentary. He explained that his son isn’t actually trying to stir up any trouble with Ye. However, he feels like it’s the fans that fuel their issues. “Drake is not trolling anyone, it’s a song,” he commented on TMZ’s post. “Why try and create a Kanye and Drake beef again?” along with a handful of face palm emojis.

Perhaps, this wasn’t a particular dig at Ye. However, many, including the Donda artist, felt like a pair of bars on Her Loss intended to reignite their beef. On “Circo Loco,” Drake raps, “Linking with the opps, bitch, I did that shit for J. Prince / Bitch, I did it for the mob ties.” Ye, who was in the middle of contractual disputes, said that he wanted no smoke. “Enough already I done gave this man his flowers multiple times[.] Let’s really see who are real ops are in this music game,” he tweeted. “Imagine all the rappers on the same side and everyone cleaning up each others contracts It’s kingdom time[.] Love Drake #lovespeech.” Check out Dennis Graham’s response above.
