Back in December, Kanye West invited Drake on stage to help close out his Toronto show. They later hit a Yeezus afterparty together, where they rapped each other's songs.
Now, footage has surfaced of Drake returning the favor. He invited West on stage for his Would You Like A Tour? show in Berlin to perform "Black Skinhead," and the crowd went nuts.
After his performance Drake talked to the audience about West's influence on him as an artist.
"I want you to understand," he told them. "This is my dear friend. This is the reason I'm standing in front of you today. This is the mentor. This is the god. This is the genius of all geniuses. This is the man that is Kanye motherf**king West."
Drake told Complex in December that Kanye was his "only competition," and West called Drake "Rap God Drake." The two have had an on-again-off-again friendship over the years, beginning with West directing Drake's first video. But then Drake allegedly slept with West's ex and he dropped him from his "All of the Lights" track. The two continued to make jabs at one another on their songs, and Drake even thought about making his ownWatch the Throne with Lil Wayne. But last summer they put the past behind them and shared the stage during Drake's OVO Fest, and now they are buds. And it appears they have nothing but respect for each other these days.
