In a surprising turn of events, Kanye West took the stage in Seoul, South Korea, on August 23, dedicating his performance of “I Wonder” to both Drake and Ian Conner.
This gesture comes just months after a public spat between Ye and Drake, highlighting the complexity of their relationship.
During his concert, which was part of his ongoing Vultures tour, Kanye showcased an impressive repertoire, performing a staggering 74 songs that spanned his entire career.
Fans were treated to a nostalgic journey as he revisited tracks from each of his albums.
After delivering a powerful rendition of “Stronger,” Kanye paused to acknowledge his fellow artist and friend, stating, “This one is for Drake, this one is for Ian Conner,” before launching into “I Wonder.”
Drake has yet to publicly respond to Kanye’s shout-out, leaving fans speculating about the implications of this dedication.
On the other hand, Ian Conner quickly took to Twitter to acknowledge the moment with a simple yet poignant reply: “And I wonder.” His response suggests a recognition of the complexities and nuances in their relationships.
The history between Kanye and Drake is anything but straightforward.
Initially, the two collaborated harmoniously, but things took a turn as their rivalry intensified over the years.
Their feud reached a peak during a concert aimed at advocating for Larry Hoover’s release, further complicating their dynamic.
Recently, tensions flared again when Kanye took aim at Drake in a remix of “Like That,” a track that became infamous for reigniting their rap battle.
In that remix, Kanye expressed excitement over what he termed the “elimination of Drake,” a statement that stirred the pot even more.
The ongoing back-and-forth between these two iconic figures in hip-hop keeps fans on their toes, eager for the next twist in their saga.
Meanwhile, Ian Conner, who has faced serious allegations of sual misconduct from multiple women, has found himself in a unique position.
