Drake ‘Not Trolling’ Kanye West By Sampling Kim Kardashian

Drake wasn’t “trolling” Kanye West by sampling Kim Kardashian on his new song “Rescue Me,” his father has claimed.

The Toronto hitmaker played a snippet of the unreleased track during an episode of Sound 42’s The Fry Yiy Show on SiriusXM Radio last Friday (March 31).

Shortly after the first verse, Kim Kardashian and her mother Kris Jenner are heard talking about Kim’s emotional state during her divorce from Ye.

“I didn’t come this far, just to come this far and not be happy, remember that,” Kim said. The sample comes from the 2021 season finale of Keeping Up with the Kardashians.

Kanye and Kim’s seven-year marriage was officially dissolved in March 2022 when both parties were ruled to be legally single. The reality star initially filed for divorce in February 2021, with “differences in lifestyle and politics” at the heart of their issues, according to TMZ.

The sample choice led many fans to believe that Drake was taunting Kanye, with whom he’s had a rocky relationship in recent years. But according to Drizzy’s father Dennis Graham, that wasn’t the case.

“Drake is not trolling anyone, it’s just a song,” the 68-year-old allegedly wrote in an Instagram comment earlier this week in response to the narrative surrounding the song. “Why try and create a Kanye and Drake beef again??????????????? [palm face emojis].”
