The ongoing beef between Kayne West & Drake has been elevated to new heights. Along with verbal shots fired at each other, West pushed the envelope this week. He took advertising for his Donda release to new levels. This is a move that will hit Drake close to home. As the two artists vie for Billboard spots with West’s Donda release on Sunday and Drake’s Certified Lover Boy release slated for September 3rd, Kayne went so far as to place DONDA billboards throughout downtown Toronto (Drake’s hometown).
HipHopDX reports that the two artists jumped their rivalry off after Drake took a jab at Kanye on Trippie Redd’s “Betrayal,” to which Ye responded by channeling his inner Joker and exposing Drake’s home address on social media — a move that got a Joker-esque chuckle out of the OVO rapper. This move by Ye shows that the beef is ongoing and shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon.
Both Donda & CLB boasts several big name features. Drake listed some of his features on the billboards including JAY-Z, Future, Lil Baby, 21 Savage & Young Thug. Kanye’s ongoing story is how verses from Chris Brown and Soulja Boy were removed from the album. Both artists have voiced their angst towards the Chicago MC. Iit should be a sight to see how this long-lasting feud will pan out over time.

Kash Doll, “Single & Happy”
Summer is almost over but the vibes are not! Kash Doll gifted us with her new hit “Single & Happy” and I don’t think we knew we needed this, but THANK YOU KASH! The 29-year-old “Rich Hoochie” rapper teamed up with Eric Bellinger and Wale to create this liberating anthem for both men and women. It is currently available on all platforms and it’s such a feel-good record that you have no choice but to listen to it over and over again.
I can’t speak for how single or happy you are, but what I do know is that Kash, Eric, and Wale went off on this track. No matter how you feel about any of the participating artists, you can’t help but to bop your head and sing along. The metaphors, lyricism, and delivery in this work are nothing short of fantastic!
A woman tried to curve me, she flourished in mediocrity.”
Wale, “Single & Happy”
You can listen to the song on your favorite streaming service, but if you just can’t wait to hear this 3 minutes of a boss anthem – click below for the lyric video down below!
Kash Doll recently took to twitter saying, “I make music for me and women like me…. I like sex but I love money more.” Ms. Doll. We stan.
