Kanye West, aka Ye, congratulated Kendrick Lamar after he won numerous Grammys for his Drake diss 'Not Like Us.'
Kanye West believes that he thinks Drake can still recover from his beef with Kendrick Lamar, comparing Drizzy to Stephen Curry
YE hosted a Grammys afterparty in Los Angeles on Sunday (Feb. 2), where he premiered his upcoming The Download interview with Justin Laboy.
The fashion mogul and rapper reflected on competing with Drake over the years. While he recognized the Toronto native was down following his battle with Kendrick Lamar, Ye is not convinced Drizzy should be counted out.
“It was really challenging for me to make ‘Father Stretch My Hands’ and different things, and this man got ‘Work’ a top five song ever created in life and we doing the drums bringing Metro [Boomin] on,” Ye said before Laboy cut him off.
“So Kendrick killed Drake — he’s dead,” Laboy proclaimed. Ye agreed for the time being, but doesn’t think it’s for good.
“Yeah, for now,” Ye responded. “You can’t ever count out Steph Curry. That man might get 200 points in one song.”
Ye credited his rival Drizzy with adding “something to the algorithm to our frequency. He advanced us. Future advanced us and now Kendrick advanced the frequency.”
The Yeezy founder also showed love to Kendrick Lamar on Instagram following his five Grammy Award victories, including song of the year and record of the year for “Not Like Us” Sunday. “Gemini Season,” Ye wrote about his “No More Parties in L.A.” collaborator in since-deleted post.

Last July, Ab-Soul, a close affiliate of Kendrick Lamar and TDE rapper, hopped on Twitter “X.”, He believes Drake has a shot at redemption to get his career back in the win column. “If Drake is the MC I imagine he can be. Redemption is not off the table,” he wrote to X over the summer.
