Earlier today, Kanye West did one of his most reasonable interviews in recent times with Chicago's 107.5 WGCI. 'Ye got candid about his feud with Drake. "It hits me in a really sensitive place because you, like, hang around people and they come to your house and be around your family and this and that, and then they get mad about a beat and then send you purple demon emojis," 'Ye told the radio host. Drake seems to have caught wind of the comments and seemingly replied on social media.

Drake is back with his latest troll and from the looks of it, he's not that concerned about Kanye West's from comments earlier today. The rapper took to Instagram and shared a polaroid picture of himself with "The Boy 666666666" written underneath. In the caption, the "In My Feelings" rapper wrote, "๐Ÿ˜ˆ๐Ÿ˜‚." However, it appears as though Drake changed the emoji to a red devil but thankfully, the OG caption was captured.

During the interview, Kanye West also addressed rumors that he gave Pusha T information on Drake's child for "The Story Of Adidon."

"Don't pull me into this conversation. I'm 'Ye. I got major things to do other than be telling him some information about Drake." He said.

Despite their differences, Kanye West made it clear that he hopes to reconcile with Drake in the future.

"We'll reconcile that one day because we got to," he said. "We got work to do, and these voices is just too powerful.โ€
