Drake appears to have reignited his rift with Kanye West during a live performance in West’s hometown of Chicago. Drake seemed to alter the lyrics to his song ‘Know Yourself’ to take aim at West, accusing him of being a “flop”. The original lyrics – “Then Kanye dropped it, it was polos and backpacks” – were altered to “Then Kanye flopped, it was polos and backpacks.” yooo @IamAkademiks drake switch the lines in “Know Yourself” and said KANYE FLOPPED pic.twitter.com/dYKQzXGwVV — Erickkkkk (@Over_Random) August 18, 2018 Advertisement Drake dissed Kanye at his show last night.

On the track, the rapper mocks Drake’s alleged use of a ghost writer, saying: “It was written like Nas/ But it came from Quentin.” Advertisement Drake then responded to Pusha-T and West via ‘Duppy Freestyle’ and ‘Behind Barz’ and also via several further references to Kanye on his latest album, ‘Scorpion’. “Don’t push me when I’m in album mode, you’re not even top five as far as your label talent goes,” Drake raps on ‘Duppy Freestyle.’ “I had a microphone of yours, but then the signature faded, I think that pretty much resembles what has been happening lately,” he adds. Rapping about West, Drake spat: “What do you really think of the nigga that’s making your beats?/ I’ve done things for him I thought he never would need/ Father had to stretch his hands out and get it from me/ I pop style for 30 hours, then let him repeat.” Meanwhile, Kanye has refused to get involved, tweeting back in May that he is “about love.” I’ve never been about beef I’m about love lines were crossed and it’s not good for anyone so this is dead now — ye (@kanyewest) June 2, 2018 Reviewing Drake’s latest album, NME wrote: “Drake doesn’t seem to have learned any lessons or sensed the turning of the tide away from bloated albums maximised for streaming revenue. Ironically, it has been Drake’s hero-turned-rival, Kanye West, who has instead taken note of this.” “It’s a shame really, because ‘Scorpion’ was supposed to be a victory lap, the coronation event for rap’s long-running heir apparent. Instead, ‘Scorpion’ sounds like Drake knowing that he’s won, cynically deciding not to challenge himself. Sure, the crown is still his, but to quote Drake’s own words on this album: “Is there more?”<doc-sep>Products in this story are independently selected and featured editorially.

Rapper Appears to Say West 'Flopped' During Performance at Chicago Concert During a performance on Saturday, Drake switched up the lyrics to his 2015 single “Know Yourself” — changing the lyrics “Then Kanye dropped” to “Then Kanye flopped.” Get push notifications with news, features and more. The diss was caught on video by fans, who shared the modified verse to social media. Adding insult to injury? Drake was on stage at The United Center in Chicago, West’s hometown. It would appear Drake is referring to West’s latest album, Ye — which dropped on June 1. According to Billboard, it sold 208,000 equivalent album units on its first week, landing at No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard 200 and spawning singles “Yikes” and “All Mine” (both that placed in top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100). Meanwhile, Drake released his own album, Scorpion, later that month. The LP also debuted at No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard 200 but sold 335,000 equivalent album units, Billboard reported. It’s since set records, with all 25 songs charting on the Billboard Hot 100. Three of those songs — “God’s Plan,” “Nice for What,” and “In My Feelings” — reached No. 1. Drake’s beef with Pusha T was one of the most vicious rap feuds in recent memory. RELATED VIDEO: Drake’s ‘In My Feelings’ Video Is Finally Here and It Has Some Amazing Celeb Cameos Unwilling to take the insult lying down, Drake dropped a response track called “Druppy Freestyle,” lobbing insults Pusha’s way and reminding the 41-year-old Bronx rapper that he had co-writing credits on tracks of West’s The Life of Pablo album. A social media spat ensued in the days that followed, in which Drake, 31, produced an invoice for Pusha’s boost in album sales (or specifically, $100,000 for “promotional assistance and career-reviving”). 2way Pusha T and Drake | Credit: Roy Rochlin/Getty Images; George Pimentel/WireImage Pusha then came back with his own response: a scathing song called “The Story of Adidon.” Among his attacks were rhymes mocking Drake’s newfound anger, his supposed habit of walking away from relationships, his producer Noah “40” Shebib’s battle with multiple sclerosis, and even Drake’s own mother Sandi Graham. For its album art? An undoctored photo taken by David Leyes of Drake in blackface, an image intended to correspond with Pusha’s claim that Drake grew up insecure about his mixed-race heritage. And the biggest slam? An accusation that Drake had fathered an illegitimate child with French former adult-film star Sophie Brussaux — longtime rumors Drake later verified on Scorpion.<doc-sep>
