NEWSNew Drake Song Reignites Kim Kardashian Affair Rumors Amid Kanye West Divorce — See The Reactions
Mar. 7 2021, Published 2:16 a.m. ET
When Drake released new music on Friday, March 5, fans didn’t expect it to rekindle his beef with Kanye West and seemingly involve Kim Kardashian.
The 34-year-old released his follow-up to 2018’s Scary Hours EP with the three-track Scary Hours 2 with a song that nods to West.
"Yeah, I probably go link to Yeezy / I need me some Jesus / But as soon as I start confessin’ my sins, he wouldn’t believe us," he sang on "Wants and Needs" with Lil Baby.
While Kardashian was not mentioned by name, many fans took the lyric to mean that she allegedly hooked up with Drake. West and Drake have been feuding since 2018 when rumors circulated that Drake and Kardashian had been dating.

"Kiki, do you love me?" Drake sang on "In my Feelings" at the time, which is a nickname Kardashian’s sisters often call her.
"The fact that there’s people making rumors or thinking you f**ked my wife and you’re not saying nothing and you’re carrying it like that, that don’t sit well with my spirit," West said at the time; Kardashian denied the rumors.
Meanwhile, the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star and the "Fade" hitmaker are reportedly divorcing. Kardashian is said to have filed for divorce on Friday, February 19, after almost seven years of marriage. They share children North, 7, Saint, 4, Chicago, 2, and Psalm, 21 months, together and will have to "fight" out custody arrangements in court.
Kim and Kanye have not publicly commented on Drake’s new track nor has the "Laugh Now Cry Later" singer commented either.
