Kanye apologises to Drake on Twitter

Kanye West set Twitter ablaze by posting a series of tweets in which he tried to end his long-standing grudge with Drake.

The beef apparently started when Kanye collaborated with Pusha-T, who directed two diss tracks “Infrared” and “The Story of Adidon” squarely at Drake – the latter of which mentioned Drake’s mother and his ex-girlfriends.

Tweeps descended on the posts in which Kanye wished Drake and his crew ‘good energy’ and apologised for pinching Drake’s album’s release date earlier this year, which fanned the flames between the two rappers. He also expressed regret for having been involved in any tracks with Pusha-T that threw ‘negative energy’ Drake’s way.

For someone as outspoken and habitually unapologetic as Kanye, this is a huge mea culpa. That having been said, it could be that West is turning over a new leaf as evidenced by a recent interview on radio in which he apologised for his comments around slavery.

At the time of writing, Twitter inhabitants are waiting with baited breath to see if Drake will respond in kind. There has also been no word from Pusha-T. Could Kanye’s apology be the olive branch that helps end one of hip hop’s nastiest recent beefs? Only time will tell…
