All of the lights are on Kanye West and
Drake after a heated dispute between the
rap stars spilled into the public.
West unleashed dozens of tweets directed
at his past collaborator on Thursday, includ
ing some claiming Drake had “threatened”
him and that he owed him an apology
for mentioning his line of Yeezy
shoes in a song.
The online mayhem began
with West sharing a screenshot
of a text he’d received, appar
ently from someone he works
with, that reads, “Drake sent in a
clearance request for ‘Say What’s
Real’. Do you wanna clear?”
“Say What’s Real” is a 2009 song by
Drake that samples West’s track “Say You
Will,” which would explain why Drake
would need to request clearance from West
to release it.
Clearly, the request didn’t set with West.
“Been trying to meet with you for 6 months
bro,” West wrote in one of the earlier tweets
of his outburst. “You sneak dissing on trav
records and texting Kris talking bout how’s
the family.”
His mention of “Kris” appears to refer
to West’s mother-in-law Kris Jenner, while
“Trav” would refer to Travis Scott, a rapper
who has collaborated with both West and
Drake and is in a relationship with Jenner’s
daughter Kylie.
West also seemed to take issue with Drake
rapping about Kanye’s popular sneakers, the
Yeezy Boost 350s, in a verse on French
Montana’s song “No Stylist.”
“Yeah, keeping it G, I told her,
‘don’t wear no 350s around me,”’
Drake raps in the song.
West on Thursday wrote, “Still
need that apology for mentioning
the 350s and trying to take food
out your idols kids mouths. ”
The father of three continued to
say he was not the one who informed fel
low rapper Pusha T that Drake had secretly
fathered a child. Pusha made headlines over
the summer when he accused Drake of hav
ing a kid in his song “The Story of Adidon.”
Shortly after that song was released,
Pusha released an album, “Daytona,” pro
duced by West, that also included a diss
track that touched on the claims that Drake
has used a ghostwriter.
“I told you I ain’t tell Pusha about your
son,” West tweeted Thursday.

SINGLE COPY

Mon.-Sat. and $2.00 on Sun.
ARIES (March 21 -April 19). If
you feel pressure to say what
the other person wants to hear,
you’re being (perhaps subtly)
manipulated. Take a step back.
Consider the relationship. Pro
ceed with caution.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). If
you find yourself stretching for
some easy way to describe
yourself, you shouldn’t have to
at this point. It’s a hint that the
other person just isn’t getting
you — not your problem. Other
people will. Move on.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). If
you’re going to worry, make it
work for you. Worry provides
you with a quick look at poten
tial pitfalls and a peak into your
unconscious mind. Categorize
your worries into reasonable
and unreasonable. That’s a
start.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). If
you’ve been pessimistic and
distrustful, it’s only out of a need
to protect and defend yourself.
You’re also brave and confident
once you’ve made your mind up
— a joyful pioneer.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). From
love to shampoo, everything
has its cycle. What worked be
fore may work again, although
maybe not quite as well. Put
feelers out for new alternatives.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Adults don’t always do the
adult thing, and children can
take on adult responsibili
ties that rob them of carefree
youth. These missives need to
be recognized and set right.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-0ct. 23). You’ll
scrutinize your work or habits
before another person has a
chance to. This way, you know
you’re putting your best self
forward. It’s an extra effort.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Vi
tality follows those on the edge
of the known. Anyone doing
what they know they can do is
playing it too safe to feel suc
cessful. Also, the one who is
the least afraid of looking fool
ish wins.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
You’ll act on behalf of those
unable or unwilling to take ac
tion themselves. This you do
out of a sense of duty, but that
doesn’t mean you have to be
too serious in your approach.
Execute the task with a light
heart.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
No human is constantly on the
spiritual high road. Anyway, a
lower indulgence may serve
you just fine. It’s one of those
crazy days when the superfi
cial thing you think might make
you happy actually does.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
There’s no need to seek oppor
tunities for heroism. Be consis
tent and cheerful, just like you
usually are. That’s what every
one needs right now. And don’t
be surprised if this makes you
indispensable.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
Future you is sending a mes
sage back in time: Please don’t
block me into long contracts.
Future you is going to need
some freedom to do the future-
you endeavors you can’t
conceive of from where you’re
standing today.
