Seoul - 

Kanye West has extended an olive branch to Drake while doubling down on his disdain towards Adidas.

The Chicago rap legend performed alongside Ty Dolla $ign at the Goyang Stadium in Seoul, South Korea on Friday (August 23) as part of their Vultures 2 listening experience in support of their latest collaborative album.

During the sold-out show, which opened with Kanye entering the arena on horseback, West surprised fans by showing love to on-again, off-again frenemy Drake while performing one of his classic songs.

Before diving into “I Wonder,” from his 2007 album Graduation, Ye said: “This one for Drake.”

He also dedicated the track to controversial fashion designer and influencer Ian Connor, who was previously accused of rape.

Elsewhere in the show, Kanye started a “fuck Adidas” chant, encouraging the South Korean crowd to help him disparage his former business partners.

Another highlight saw Ye debut a new song called “Bomb” which features rising rapper Yuno Miles, as well as his daughter North West.

It’s unclear if the track will be added to Vultures 2, which has been continually tinkered with since its release earlier this month, or if it will appear on Kanye and Ty’s forthcoming Vultures 3 album.

In addition to performing material from the Vultures series, Kanye also revisited classic songs from his catalog including “Through the Wire,” “Touch the Sky,” “Can’t Tell Me Nothing,” “Runaway” and “Black Skinhead,” often hurrying his DJ to skip to the next song.

Kanye West and Drake have a long and complicated history. It was just in April when Yeezy took aim at Drake on a remix of Future, Metro Boomin and Kendrick Lamar’s “Like That,” rapping: “Y’all so outta sight, outta mind / I can’t even think of a Drake line.”

He also took numerous shots at his former collaborator in an interview with Justin Laboy, including accusing him of padding his streamimg stats and claiming that “every bar that Drake said means nothing anymore […] Your raps don’t mean shit, n-gga.”

The rivalry between the rap titans previously reached a boiling point in 2021 in the run up to their respective albums Donda and Certified Lover Boy, with Kanye even doxxing Drake by posting his home address online.

They reconciled months later and performed together at the “Free Larry Hoover” benefit concert in Los Angeles, though Drizzy seemingly later implied that it was merely a favor to Rap-A-Lot Records mogul J. Prince.

As for Adidas, Kanye West has long been at odds with the sportswear giant, even before their lucrative Yeezy partnership was terminated in 2022 due to his antisemitic comments.

In recent months, he’s accused the German brand of stealing his ideas, suing him for hundreds of millions of dollars and conspiring against both himself and potential collaborators.

This bitter feud was felt on Vultures 2, with Kanye rapping on the song “My Soul”: “We mass targeted, mass marketed / Mass incarceration, mass in police stations / Mass incorporated, fuck Adidas.”
