Ye Weighs In on Drake vs. Kendrick Lamar Rap Battle

On Sunday night (Jan. 2), following Ye and his wife's NSFW appearance on the 2025 Grammy Awards red carpet, the rapper chopped it up during an interview with influencer and podcast host Justin Laboy.  During the chat, the two talked about Kendrick's big night and if K-Dot vanquished Drake during their epic rap battle in 2024.

"He took down my nemesis for me, or at least took him down for a little bit," Ye says in the video below. "You know those superhero films, where one of the characters, Wolverine or something, goes away for a few films."

When asked of K-Dot killed Drake, Ye responded, "Yea, for now. You can't ever count out Steph Curry. That man might get 200 points in one song for something."

Ye did give Drake some props adding, "Drake added something to the algorithm, to our frequency, he advanced us. Future advanced us. And now Kendrick has now advanced the frequency."
