⁠⁠“Worst co-sign of all time?” — Internet divided as Kanye West picks Drake over Kendrick, compares their feud with “no Diddy campaign”

Kanye West is making it known he's on Drake's side in his infamous feud against Kendrick Lamar.

In a video circulating on X, the rapper can be seen speaking to DJ Akademiks about the beef, comparing the 'takedown of Drake' to what he called the 'No Diddy campaign'. When probed about his relationship with Drake, he could be heard telling DJ Akademiks that the latter is a "million times" better than Lamar, adding that he has made far better contributions to the culture than his foe.

Fans, however, have since begun slamming the contentious rapper, with many noting that he's a "true hater." Here's what one fan penned on X, for instance:

"Worst co-sign of all time?"

Even more chimed in to opine:

"One thing Ye gon do is tell the truth," someone claimed.

"Everyone knows this, Drake is the heart and soul of hip hop," one more chimed in.

"bro got the worst co sign possible," yet another echoed.

"He’s not lying… when it comes to international appeal Drake is miles beyond Kendrick," a fourth user noted.

The comments didn't end there; while some supported West, others claimed that he had made the wrong choice:

"Bro drake is nothing but ghost writers lol," one user spewed.

"Kanye stating the obvious," another contended.

"This guys so jealous of Kendrick it’s hilarious," someone else chimed in.

"Of course. Kanye knows real music. Can’t take that away from him," yet another defended him.

Notably, however, a large number of users on X took issue with Kanye West's appearance, seeing as he was seemingly clad in a KKK all-black ensemble.

During his segment with DJ Akademiks, Kanye West remarked

"It's like family members that you don't f**k with." He went on, "One thing is, Drake is a million times better than Kendrick and a million times more important. What Future has done, [Young] Thug, Drake, culturally. That s**t last year, I could barely sit through that s**t."

He continued:

"That s**t was insane, bro. Had Lucian Grainge, Universal, Drake lawsuit s**t written all over it. At the end of the day, all this s**t I'm saying – Jim Jones, Kendrick, all these celebrities – the funny thing is we're all in the same boat."

He went on, referencing Diddy:

"Now you got three women beaters and you got two supposed pedophiles. Carti, Puffy, Kendrick. Drake and R. Kelly, or supposed. Puffy and R. Kelly are in jail. Five years from now, when they feel like they really want to get that boy up out of here, they're going to play the Kendrick song."

West added:

"That's how far they're going. The Kendrick mixed with the Universal, all that takedown of Drake, reminds me of the 'No Diddy' campaign for Diddy. Like, they going all out."

Kanye West and Kendrick Lamar have released about 40 tracks together over the years, including hits like No More Parties in LA. As for Drake, the two released one track, Forever, in 2009.
