As far as one could remember, Kanye West and Drake have always had a love-hate relationship. Or one can say that these two iconic rappers cannot stay together in one frame for a long time. Their complicated bond has seen many phases, starting from idolizing to collaboration to beefing with one another in a constant loop. However, in the past months, things have remained quiet on the front, considering Ye is already occupied with the fall of his glorious kingdom. But the latest video shared by the hip-hop sensation on social media might be one of the rarest moments of their relationship.

Drake recently took to his Instagram account to share a video of himself. The story showed the 36-year-old making a video in the restroom as he tuned in to his frenemy’s song. The singer wore a black sweatshirt and gray pants as he sang along to ‘Through the Wire’. This is the song that introduced Kanye West to the music industry.

His first big break came when he sold a beat to a Chicago-based musician named Gravity for $8,000. Then he sold another beat to Jermaine Dupri for the song named ‘Life in 1462.’ Continuing the same path, he rose to fame as a producer and now he is once again ready to return to the limelight with a new music album.
