Kanye West ramps up Drake feud after bizarre tweetstorm
Hip hop star Kanye West went on a bizarre and long-winded tweetstorm Thursday night — which included nearly 100 tweets — as he blasted fellow rapper Drake and accused him of sending threats.
West started the tirade at about 9 p.m. New York time, writing “Trust God.” He then quickly followed up with several tweets criticizing Drake.
“Drake called trying to threatened me,” said West during his tweet-fest, which was still going on at about 1:30 a.m. Friday.
He followed up after a number of other tweets: “There would never be a drake without a Kanye west so never come out your mouth with a threat.”
The two rappers were reportedly feuding after West demanded an apology from Drake for apparently referencing his wife, Kim Kardashian West, in the hit song “In My Feelings.” Drake raps about a woman named “KeKe” in the song.
During his Twitter rant, West also brought up an incident in which people stormed the stage at a Pusha T concert in Toronto last month. One person was stabbed and critically wounded during the melee.
Pusha T, who often collaborates with West, exposed Drake as the father of a previously unknown child in a diss track earlier this year.
“You get people hurt at concerts,” West tweeted, apparently at Drake. “The kid he had run on stage at Pushas concert is in critical condition.”
He later wrote: “So drake if anything happens to me or anyone from my family you are the first suspect So cut the tough talk.”
Also part of the rant, he tweeted: “If I’m bipolar This kind of s–t can get me ramped.”
Drake has not posted any public statements responding as of early Friday, and a rep for him couldn’t be immediately reached.
