Drake drops unseen footage praising Kanye West: 'I'm the biggest Ye fan. period.'

Drake reflects on his first encounter with Kanye West at the 2013 OVO Fest, sharing admiration for the rapper.

Drake continues to surprise fans with new content on his 100 Gig website, including the release of three new songs and previously unseen behind-the-scenes footage from his 2013 album *Nothing Was The Same*. 

Among the highlights is a clip where Drake discusses his first encounter with Kanye West at the 2013 OVO Fest. 

In the video, Drake praises West, admitting, "I'm the biggest Ye fan. Period," and reflecting on the therapeutic nature of their interaction on stage.

The footage has sparked a wave of reactions on social media, with fans sharing their thoughts on the complex relationship between the two rap icons. 

Comments ranged from lamenting the lost potential of a collaborative album to highlighting the rivalry that has developed over the years. One fan noted, "Idols become your rivals," while another pointed out the emotional layers Drake has built up over time due to the pressures of the music industry.

Drake and Kanye West's relationship took a turn in 2018 when Drake released the diss track "Duppy Freestyle" in response to Pusha T's "Infrared," produced by Kanye. 

Although the two briefly reconciled at Ye’s Free Larry Hoover Benefit Concert in 2021, their feud reignited earlier this year when Kanye released a remixed version of the diss track "Like That."

Drake’s recent content drop, which includes the songs "Circadian Rhythm," "SOD," and "No Face" featuring Playboi Carti, has reignited interest in the complicated dynamics between the two rappers. 

Fans are left wondering if the positive sentiments shared in the newly released footage will lead to another attempt at reconciliation, or if the rivalry will continue to simmer.
