The ever-simmering relationship between Kanye West and Drake reached new heights of discord Thursday night after West accused Drake of threatening him and his family. West took to Twitter to publicly vent his frustrations with Drake after the “God’s Plan” rapper requested to get a song cleared. And despite West’s attempt to apologize to Drake months ago for being the cause of their rift, it seems like Drake had yet to accept the apology. “Been trying to meet with you for 6 months bro,” Ye tweeted on Thursday. “You sneak dissing on [Travis Scott] records and texting [Kris Jenner] talking bout how’s the family.” Scott is the boyfriend of West’s sister-in-law Kylie Jenner, while Kris Jenner is West’s mother-in-law. https://twitter.com/kanyewest/status/1073320449088675841 In his rant, West also accused Drake of “trying to take food out of his” children’s mouths by dissing his sneaker designs, the Yeezy Boost 350s. He also accused Drake of sneak-dissing him on Scott’s “Sicko Mode” track and disrespecting people with mental health issues among other things. Drake eventually reached out, but appears to have threatened West and his family, according to the tweets. https://twitter.com/kanyewest/status/1073326294979543041 https://twitter.com/kanyewest/status/1073409789827387392 https://twitter.com/kanyewest/status/1073410452250681344 Even West’s wife, Kim Kardashian West, had a message for Drake on Twitter Thursday. “Never threaten my husband or our family,” she wrote. “He paved the way for there to be a Drake.”

@drake Never threaten my husband or our family. He paved the way for there to be a Drake.

The duo’s feud began earlier this year when West was caught in the crosshairs of Drake’s longtime feud with Pusha T, which escalated earlier this year and resulted in the Virginia rapper 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 in a September tweet-spree, West admitted that he had nothing to do with it.
