American rapper Kanye West has stirred controversy by accusing his fellow artist Drake of striking a deal with the devil and turning against him, citing this as the reason for their apparent rift. According to West, their falling out stems from Drake's alleged abandonment of God, whom West claims to represent. This narrative emerged during West's recent appearance on the remix of Future and Metro Boomin’s track “Like That,” where he contributed vocals, expressing his excitement about Drake's supposed downfall from the hip-hop scene.
Speaking candidly on ‘The Download’ podcast, West asserted, “It’s like he [Drake] signed his soul to the devil to not be cool with me. This is his job, to go against God.” West further revealed the atmosphere in the studio during the recording session, stating, “Pluto [Future] called me, I went to the studio and laid that [my verse on the remix]. Everybody was very, very excited about the elimination of Drake. Not excited — we was energized.”
Additionally, West insinuated that Drake's success is not solely attributed to his talent but also to his connections, particularly his relationship with Lucian Grainge, the CEO of Universal Music. West referred to Grainge as Drake's "rich baby daddy" who allegedly influences his commercial achievements. "Drake has a rich baby daddy, named Lucian [Grainge] and Universal. He’s like, my daddy control the spins, my daddy got the DSPs,” West remarked, suggesting that Drake's career is buoyed by familial and industry ties.
