GAFFA - 35 år i musikkens tjeneste
Efter længere tids opgør er Kanye West nu ude med en undskyldning til rap-kollegaen Drake.
Der har i den seneste tid været en dårlig kemi mellem de to stjernerappere Kanye West og Drake, der ellers har flere gode samarbejder bag sig. Drake har blandt andet være med til at skrive materiale til Wests album Ye fra juni i år.
Problemet opstod, da West pludselig lå klar med flere udgivelser i samme måned, hvor Drake udkom med sit album Scorpion. Derudover var der også dårlige vibes blandt Drake og Kanye West, da West har medproduceret Pusha Ts album Daytona, hvorpå diss-numrene "Infrared" og "The Story of Adidon" er rettet mod Drake.

West undskylder nu for den seneste tids kontroverser. Tidligt onsdag morgen postede West et opslag på sin Twitter-profil, hvor han roste Drakes live-show og i samme omgang undskyldte for at udgive Ye og flere medproducerede albums herunder Pusha Ts i selvsamme måned som Scorpion. Herudover undskylder West også for at udgive nummeret "Lift Yourself" uden at feature sin kollega.

Samtidig skriver West, at han ikke har haft noget med diss-numrene fra Pusha T at gøre. Kanye afslutter alle sin tweets med "Jeg elsker dig, og jeg elsker Pusha, og vi beundrer allesammen hinandens håndværk. Jeg vil komme til dit show inden for den næste uge for at give dig kærlighed og blive inspireret af den kunst, som du har skabt".

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

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

I never listened to either diss track that followed but I did hear quotes from both songs after they were released

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 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.

This is all Jedi level. I will be coming to your show within the next seven days to give love and be inspired by the art you have created.
