“That was probably the most important moment in my career to date,” Drake said in a post-show interview with MTV. “I think me and Kanye have wanted to express our respect for each other for a long time and sometimes Rap, the business, the competitiveness and just the heart behind it, forces you to not talk to the people you quietly admire.”

In September, Drake praised West’s abilities while saying he aspires to surpass him.

“There’s one guy who’s up every night thinking about how to get better and how to do things bigger,” Drake said in an interview with CRWN Presented By MySpace. “That’s Kanye West. He’s always gonna be the guy that’s trying to outthink and outdo. So, for me, that’s my guy that I aspire to surpass.”
