Ye and Drake have had a love/hate relationship over the years.

The two had a friendly rivalry up until he produced Pusha T‘s “Infrared” song in 2018 where the Virginia rapper brought up Drake’s ghostwriting allegations. The Toronto rapper took shots at both of them on “Duppy Freestyle,” and mentioned that he had written for Kanye in the past. And then “The Story of Adidon” followed, and the rest is history. Drake felt betrayed by some of the information in Push’s scathing diss record, and his and Ye’s relationship really hasn’t been the same since.

However, in a recent trip to China, where he performed, Ye thanked his rival for penning the hook for his song “Yikes” off the Chicago rapper’s Ye album that was released in 2018. “I wanna thank Drake for writing this chorus for me,” he said as the song started to play
