Drake Teases New Album With Kanye West Classic
Drake took to Instagram to tease his forthcoming album and some love for fellow rapper Kanye West. On Sunday (July 2), Drizzy posted on his Instagram Stories a selfie video of him seemingly wearing some merch for his upcoming album For All the Dogs. In his video, you can hear Kanye West’s classic “Through the Wire.” Drake is heard singing along and flexes his expensive watch in a bathroom.
Drizzy and Kanye were in a public feud for about three years until they came together for the Free Larry Hoover Benefit Concert in 2021. The concert was created with the intent to draw awareness to prison reform and bring justice to incarcerated Chicago gang leader Larry Hoover.
Earlier this year, Drake sampled Kanye’s ex-wife Kim Kardashian in his song “Search & Rescue.”
“I didn’t come this far, just to come this far and not be happy, remember that,” Kim is heard saying in the song. The sample comes from the 2021 season finale of Keeping Up with the Kardashians.
Kim and Kanye officially divorced in March of 2022. They were married for six years after publicly dating in 2012.
