🧠 “Don’t Count Him Out Yet” – Kanye West Says Drake Is Like Wolverine After Kendrick’s Kill Shot, But Will Drizzy Listen? 🩸🐺

The year is 2025, and the rap game is still recovering from one of the most brutal public takedowns in music history.

Kendrick Lamar didn’t just diss Drake—he torched him.

His explosive track Not Like Us not only became a cultural weapon but also earned five Grammy Awards, cementing Kendrick’s place as the de facto king of lyrical warfare.

Drake? He’s been eerily quiet.

That is, until Kanye West—hip-hop’s most unpredictable voice—decided to stir the pot.

In a recent interview with Justin LaBoy, Ye didn’t mince words.

While he admitted Kendrick “killed” Drake in the battle, he refused to write Drizzy off.

Instead, Kanye compared Drake to a superhero who just took a hit—Wolverine, specifically.

“Maybe he’s just out of the movie for a little bit,” Kanye mused, “but don’t count him out.”

It’s a strange twist.

Just a few years ago, Kanye and Drake were at each other’s throats, throwing subliminals, leaking diss tracks, and airing out family secrets.

But now, Kanye’s the one publicly defending the man many believe suffered the worst L of his career.

Why? According to Ye, Drake’s not finished—he’s reloading.

“You can’t count out Steph Curry,” Kanye added, implying Drake might come back and drop 200 points in a single song.

In other words: the shot might be coming—it’s just not today.

Meanwhile, Drake isn’t exactly hiding.

He’s been in Australia for his It’s All a Blur: Big As the What? tour, where he pulled off a bold theatrical entrance—descending arena stairs in a bullet hole hoodie, surrounded by smoke.

It was a visual metaphor: I’ve taken hits, but I’m still here.

Later, he stood before the crowd and proclaimed:

“Drizzy Drake is very much alive.”

He wasn’t just talking to fans—he was sending a message to Kendrick, to Kanye, and to every media outlet who’s been running the “Drake is finished” narrative.

Then came the bigger bombshell: a new album is on the way.

Actually—two.

One joint project with PARTYNEXTDOOR dropping Valentine’s Day, and another solo album coming “when the time is right.”

Is this a calculated comeback or just damage control? Fans are split.

Some say it’s smart—lay low, let the hype die down, then strike.

Others believe it’s too little, too late.

After all, Kendrick didn’t just diss Drake—he dismantled his entire persona.

Accusations of predatory behavior, cultural appropriation, industry manipulation… all layered into a song so scathing it became the anthem of 2024.

And let’s not forget: Kendrick accepted his Grammy wearing a “Canadian tuxedo”—denim jacket and jeans—a symbolic mockery of Drake’s nationality.

If that’s not psychological warfare, what is?

Still, Kanye isn’t buying the narrative that Drake is buried.

“Where’s the movies if it ain’t no Drake?” he asked rhetorically, suggesting that Drake, as much as Kendrick, is still necessary for hip-hop’s plotline.

Even Kendrick’s rise, Kanye claims, only works because Drake existed in the first place.

But here’s where things get murky.

While the Kendrick vs. Drake battle has hip-hop fans enthralled, others are calling out the hypocrisy behind the Grammy praise and media response.

Because as savage as Kendrick’s diss was, he’s also faced criticism for associating with figures like Dr. Dre and Kodak Black, both men with violent, disturbing histories.

Let’s talk about Dre for a moment.

Dr. Dre, the very man Kendrick thanked on Not Like Us, has a long-documented history of abuse, including the infamous assault on TV host Dee Barnes, whom he slammed into a wall and threw through a door.

In his own words:

“It ain’t no big thing.

I just threw her through a door.”

Dre also fathered a child with a 16-year-old when he was 22.

And yet… Kendrick calls Dr.

Dre “what’s up doc” in a song meant to expose predators?

So when Kendrick throws the line “f— a rap battle, he should die so all of the women can live with a purpose,” fans were quick to point out: Was he really talking about Drake… or deflecting from the monsters in

his own circle?

Because Drake, for all his questionable behavior, isn’t the only artist with problematic receipts.

From Kanye’s links to industry power games, to Kendrick’s silence on Dre’s past, to Diddy’s entire empire of allegations—none of these artists are clean.

The rap game isn’t a moral high ground.

It’s a battlefield full of landmines, and every single one of them is stepping over bodies to stay relevant.

So why does Drake get all the smoke?

Part of it is timing.

Part of it is optics.

And part of it is the fact that he lost.

When you’re at the top for over a decade—dominating charts, shaping sound, redefining the global rap aesthetic—people wait for the fall.

And Kendrick, with precision, provided it.

But is that fall permanent?

Not according to Kanye.

And maybe—just maybe—not according to Drake, either.

Because while social media celebrated Kendrick’s Grammys, Drake was already teasing revenge.

“Eventually,” he told the crowd in Perth, “Drizzy Drake alone by himself is going to have to have a one-on-one talk with y’all.”

That’s not retirement talk.

That’s warning shot energy.

But as fans dissect the beef, conspiracy theories bubble under the surface.

Some believe this whole feud has benefitted everyone—Kendrick with awards, Drake with sympathy and sales spikes, Kanye with renewed relevance as he inserts himself into the discourse.

As always in hip-hop, conflict drives currency.

So what happens next?

Does Drake drop a classic comeback album that reframes the narrative? Does Kendrick clap back again and double down? Does Kanye’s new album Bully capitalize off the chaos?

Or are we all just watching an elaborate marketing saga, where the music is secondary to the spectacle?

Here’s the truth: no one in this battle is innocent.

No one in this industry is above contradiction.

But one thing is certain—the drama is far from over.

And according to Kanye West?

“Drake ain’t dead.

He’s just in his Wolverine phase.”
