As the year begins to wind down and folks settle in for the holidays, the Drake and Kanye West feud remains hotter than ever. Kanye reignited the drama this week with a series of tweets, taking aim at Drake and everything that has happened in 2018. A story complete with secret children, backstabbing, alleged attacks at shows, sneakers, and betrayal—these tweets cap a year which saw two of hip-hop's biggest stars locked in a strange and bitter rivalry. So let's start at the beginning, shall we?

It all began in May, when Pusha-T took shots at Drake on the Kanye West-produced Daytona. Drake then responded with his own diss track, "Duppy Freestyle," which targeted both Pusha-T and Kanye. In response, Pusha-T released "The Story of Adidon," in which he outed Drake's secret child, which was later confirmed on Scorpion.

Drake never responded with another diss track, but according to some rumors, he was sitting on a career-ending song that he refused to release. Throughout the summer, people speculated that Drake's maybe-fake career-ending diss track could have involved an affair between himself and Kim Kardashian. According to this batshit theory, Drake spent some time in Wyoming as Kanye was producing some of his new albums, during which he played Ye "March 14" that confirms the existence of his secret child. Fans speculate that it's through Kanye that Pusha-T learned about the child that he rapped about in his diss track.

This is where the rest of the clues come in. Some fans seem to believe that Kim might be the "Kiki" who Drake mentions in the opening of "In My Feelings." There's a thread about it here if you want to know the whole theory, but the gist is that Drake had been sneaking down the street to have an affair with Kim to get back at Kanye.
