Kanye West took to Twitter to publicly apologize to Drake in an attempt to squash their beef.
The “Ye” rapper was caught in the crosshairs of Drake’s longtime feud with Pusha T, which escalated earlier this year and resulted in Pusha T revealing that Drake had fathered a son with French former adult-film star Sophie Brussaux in his infamous “The Story of Adidon” track.
Many suspected that Yeezy stood behind Pusha T, his G.O.O.D Music artist when it all went down. But now West is setting the record straight.
“Sending good energy and love to Drake and family and crew,” wrote Kanye on Wednesday morning in a long series of tweets. “I haven’t seen the show in person but the images look incredible online. I understand where the confusion started.”

West apologized for stepping on the release date of Drake’s “Scorpion” album with his own “Ye” album, explaining that he had a lot going on at the time. He also apologized for leaving Drake off his “Lift Yourself” track saying that he “should have given you the opportunity for us to do this together before I released it.”
Let me start by apologizing for stepping on your release date in the first place … We were building a bond and working on music together including squashing the issues with Cudi at our office.
When I put the dates up I was a bit ramped up doing 25 tweets a day TMZ happened shortly after … I have to hop on the plane now… will type more when I land
plane taxiing for take off... because we spoke about doing Lift Yourself together I should have given you the opportunity for us to do this together before I released it
Kanye also says that he should have stepped in as the beef was escalating.
since we were building as friends and brothers I should have spoken to Pusha about the Quentin Miller bar. There should have been no songs with my involvement that had any negative energy towards you
Finally, he denies ever telling Pusha T about Drake’s son as ammunition for his battle with against Drake.
I did not have any conversations about your child with Pusha. I don’t play with the idea of people’s children after I spoke to Wiz a few years earlier.
“I did not have any conversations about your child with Pusha. I don’t play with the idea of people’s children after I spoke to Wiz a few years earlier,” West continued referring to the public argument he had with Wiz Khalifa years ago over his ex-girlfriend Amber Rose.
I understand Pusha’s issues as a man if someone mentions your fiancé men go mask off. I’ve done the same myself at times. I love you and I love Pusha and we all have an admiration for each other’s craft.
West finished by promising that he would be making an appearance at an upcoming Drake show.
“This is all Jedi level,“ he said. ”I will be coming to your show within the next seven days to give love and be inspired by the art you have created.”
It is not clear what prompted Yeezy to speak out months after much of the things he references went down. But his wife Kim Kardashian West had to earlier this week denounce intensifying rumors that she had slept with Drake.
“Never happened. End of story,” she wrote on Instagram, in response to a video shared by The ShadeRoom speculating that she was the source of the feud between Drake and Kanye.
