Kanye West Says He Has a Problem With the 'Sneak Disses' On Travis Scott's 'Sicko Mode' With Drake

First, Kanye West called out Drake for asking to clear a sample on "Say What's Real," setting off an epic tweetstorm in which he accused his former collaborator with everything from allegedly threatening his family to buying out the first two rows of seats at a Pusha T show in Toronto two weeks ago as an intimidation move. In the midst of the dozens of tweets from 'Ye, the rapper also bashed Drizzy for what he labeled "sneak disses" on Travis Scott's "Sicko Mode."

"You sneak dissing on trav records and texting Kris talking bout how's the family," Kanye wrote on Thursday (Dec. 13).     

"Trav should never have allowed that," Kanye then tweeted of Scott, who has a child, Stormi, with West's sister-in-law, Kylie Jenner, adding that he needed his "apologies now" from Drake, and not through 'Ye's manager Scooter Braun, or through Scott. A bit later, West said he had reached out to Scott, who apparently hit him back, after which he again noted that he has a real "problem with sneak dissing."   

It was unclear at press time what diss West was referring to in "Sicko Mode," though he later wrote that "Trav is my family," seemingly accusing Drake of throwing "sneak disses at me for clout."

And while he appeared to have spoken with Scott and worked things out, West made it clear he was still upset about Scott allowing Drake to appear on "Sicko Mode." Spokespeople for West and Scott could not be reached for comment at press time.

On Friday morning (Dec. 14), West's wife, Kim Kardashian West, got in on the action, sending her own warning to Drake, writing, "@drake Never threaten my husband or our family. He paved the way for there to be a Drake."
