Kanye West‘s jumped straight into rap beef … dropping a remix of Future and Kendrick Lamar‘s diss track “Like That” — and, taking aim at Drake and J. Cole.
The controversial rapper shared a look at the new track — titled “Like That (Remix)” — on an episode of “The Download” hosted by his pal Justin Laboy … playing the opening live on the show.

The opening features a line directly from the recently-released Future, K.dot, Metro Boomin track, “Like That” … which many took as a response to Drake and J. Cole’s hit song “First Person Shooter,” igniting a pretty viral rap back-and-forth.
While Ye only played a little bit on the show … a fuller track seems to have leaked online — though it’s unclear if this is what the final verse sounds like or if this is all fan/AI-made.

But, assuming it’s real … Kanye takes a pretty ruthless dig at both Drake and J — rapping, “Y’all so outta sight, outta mind / Can’t even think of a Drake line / Play J. Cole get the p***y dry / Play this s*** back 130 times.”
Not really a line that’s up for interpretation here … Ye’s taking direct shots at his adversaries — and, we gotta say he didn’t miss.

And, Ye’s not tamping down any of the drama surrounding the song … instead, hopping back on X to post an NSFW J. Cole meme — so, it looks like he’s feeding into the frenzy.
He’s also promising more coming soon … so, keep your ears peeled for whatever he decides to drop next.

BTW, one more thing to note … we don’t know if Future, Kendrick and Metro signed off on this collab. Kanye has gotten in trouble in the past for sampling songs without permission — so, maybe hold up speculating Kanye’s back in these rapper’s good graces.
Either way, it’s a pretty huge slam … and, given Drake’s history in this beef, there may be a response coming very soon!!! 👀
