Throwback to a time when Drizzy Drake had declared that he wanted to overthrow and become a bigger star than Kanye West

“I want to be better”- Throwback to When Drake With a Current Net Worth of 250 Million Wanted to “surpass” Kanye West at 6.6 Billion

Celebrity feuds are not a novelty phenomenon in the entertainment industry.
While some like Will Smith-Chris Rock are more recent and intense, others like
Ryan Reynolds-Hugh Jackman are pseudo feuds mostly for entertainment. Having
said that, one cannot say feud and not mention the king of controversy, Kanye
West. From Ray J to Justin Timberlake to Pete Davidson, Ye has had altercations
with several artists. However, his longest-running tussle has to be with the
Canadian rap artist Drake.



Similar to his relationship with singer John Legend
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-after-fallout-john-legend-addresses-how-kanye-west-influenced-his-music-in-early-days/],
Kanye’s equation with the Hotline Bling singer started as a friendship. However,
creative differences and competitiveness have now resulted in a complicated
equation. So much so that Drake has wanted to outshine Kanye West for more than
a decade.

DRAKE WISHED TO OUTDO KANYE WEST

A connection that began as a collaborative camaraderie between Drake and Kanye
West

in 2009 slowly transitioned into a full-blown beef. From a diss track to a
leaked address to a prolonged social media feud, the dispute saw everything.
However, if one looks at the timeline of their notorious clash, one can see that
Drizzy looked up to Kanye for the longest time. Back in 2011, the
One Dance artist vocalized his admiration of Ye to the source.

But it was not just an appreciation statement. It was also an open challenge.
Drake gauntleted the moment by calling the Watch the Throne rapper a “great
competitor and friend.” Nevertheless, the Started from the Bottom wished to
vanquish his self-appointed opponent. 

“My goal is to surpass everything he’s accomplished. I don’t want to be as good
as Kanye, I want to be better,” declared Drake.

In fact, later that same year in one of his cameo released with DJ Khaled’s I’m
On One, Drake took an obvious dig at Kanye’s Watch the Throne album.

“I’m just feeling like the throne is for the taking/Watch me take it,” rapped
the Canadia

Today, Kanye West [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/kanye-west/]‘s net worth is a
whopping 6.6 Billion USD while Drake is worth 250 Million USD. The God’s Plan
rapper has a long way to go if he wishes to make good on his challenge.



Do you think he can manage it? Let us know in the comments. In the meantime, you
can watch Jeen-Yuhs: A Kanye Trilogy streaming
[https://www.netflix.com/in/title/81426972] on Netflix to see West’s journey so
far.
