It would appear Kanye West was ready to go toe-to-toe with Drake on Verzuz, which shouldn’t be a surprise given recent tensions between the two prior to the release of their respective albums ‘Donda’ and ‘Certified Lover Boy.’

A recent interview with Angie Martinez revealed that both Swizz Beatz and Timbaland weren’t eager to push for a hit-for-hit duel between Kanye and Drake.

Swizz revealed: “Kanye was willing to do the Verzuz … He wanted to battle Drake. I left that up to them, and that’s what I told to Timb, as well. I was like, ‘Yo, they have to bring that to the table.’ They would have to agree to do that. Kanye was ready, but I don’t know where that’s at now. I’m still leaving it on them.”

The feud between the two rappers was at a point, getting quite intense, resulting in Kanye doxing Drake’s home address on social media, before quickly deleting his post.

Touching on what appeared to be a jab at himself on Drizzy’s ‘CLB’ track titled “You Only Live Twice” which features Rick Ross and Lil Wayne, Swizz said:

“I’m chilling. A lot of people want to see me react and do all these things, but I’m in such a great zone. I said how I felt, he said how he felt. Hey, man I guess we even. As far as now, I’m good … and I actually like the song.”

He went on to explain: “And he didn’t go too crazy in the record also, you know? He could have said many things, that man is a clever artist. He could’ve really, really, really gave me about 40 bars. He said what he said. He got it off his chest. Blessing to everybody.”

The verse in question raps: “Unthinkable when I think of the way these n***as been acting/I never did you nothing and you play like we family, huh?…Next thing, you wanna shoot me down, it can’t be love/Not sure where you was trynna send it, it can’t be up/That day you sounded like a b*tch, you fancy, huh?”

Would you be down for a Verzuz battle between Kanye West and Drake?
