Kanye West offerred Drake an olive branch amid feud

Recently, Kanye 'Ye' West has extended an olive branch to Drake amid their ongoing rift. The former has asked his fellow rapper to join him in celebrating their albums that released earlier this year.

Ye accepted that he and Drake had taken digs at each other over the years, and stated that it was time to put it to rest. The event will be held in Los Angeles on December 7. The Donda artist shared that their union will show people how putting one's pride aside would make one achieve things.
