Well damn, it’s been quite the morning.
First Joe Budden welcomed all the smoke from Eminem with a priceless response on The Joe Budden Podcast. And now, Kanye West is copping a plea with Drake?
2018 is weird, man.
At this point, there’s no reason to break down the past issues between Kanye and Drake. But now, after a snippet of a Drake verse where he’s clowning Yeezy shoes surfaced online, Kanye took to Twitter to apologize for stepping on Drake’s Scorpion release date, “Lift Yourself” and not jumping in between him and Pusha T.
The lengthy apology can be read below…
Sending good energy and love to Drake and family and crewđź’śđź’śđź’ś
I haven’t seen the show in person but the images look incredible online

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.
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) September 5, 2018
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.

Since I’m sure Ye will eventually delete all the tweets, a full transcription is available below, as well.
