Kanye West seemingly responded to Drake’s latest on-record diss towards him in a group chat with other rappers, a screenshot of which Kanye reportedly posted to Instagram and then immediately deleted.
According to NME, which screengrabbed the post before it vanished, West wrote, “I live for this. I’ve been f—ed with by nerd a– jock n—-s like you my whole life. You will never recover. I promise you,” including a picture of Joaquin Phoenix in full “Joker” makeup.
West also appeared to have added Pusha T to the chat before sending the text. Pusha, you’ll remember, released a savage Drake diss track in the form of “The Story of Adidon.” West had produced Pusha’s May 2018 record “Daytona,” which contained a diss lobbed at Drake; it was Drake’s response to that diss that spurred “The Story of Adidon.”
This time around, it was Drake’s verse on Trippie Redd’s new song, “Betrayal,” that sparked West’s ire. “All these fools I’m beefin’ that I barely know,” Drake raps, “Forty-five, forty-four (Burned out), let it go / Ye ain’t changin’ s–t for me, it’s set in stone.” (West is 44 years old.)

It has not been confirmed that Drake was actually in the group text West sent his message to, though there’s a lot of circumstantial evidence. One of the people in the alleged conversation is “D;” there’s the aforementioned addition of Pusha T to the group; and lastly, Drake is one of few rappers who could conceivably be referred to as “nerd a– jock” given that he’s both an avid basketball fan with a rigorous workout routine and known to play off his own slightly dorky image.
West’s former GOOD Music label signee Consequence addressed Drake’s verse on Twitter Saturday with a screenshot of the lines in question, writing, “F–k a Betrayal. It’s the Disrespect for me dawg.”
