Ye is teasing his remix of Future, Metro Boomin and Kendrick Lamar‘s “Like That” diss track.

The superstar rapper, formerly known as Kanye West, stopped by Justin LaBoy’s The Download podcast to premiere his fiery verse on the “Like That” remix, where he takes shots at Drake and J. Cole.


In a clip shared by Ye through Instagram on Saturday (April 20), the 46-year-old rapper is all smiles as he shares a portion of his scorching remix with LaBoy. The track opens with Ye referencing Lamar’s beef with Drake, saying, “You know we had to get the hooligans up here to get these p—y n—as out/ Yo Dot, I got you.”

From there, Ye takes direct hits at both Drake and J. Cole. “Y’all so out of sight, out of mind/ I can’t even think of a Drake line/ Play J. Cole, get the p—y dry/ Play this s— back 130 times.”

The full version of Ye’s “Like That” remix had not officially surfaced on streaming services at press time on Sunday.

Lamar and Drake’s beef ignited with the Compton rapper’s explosive “Like That” verse that set the rap game on fire and remains at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. On the track — which appears on Future and Metro Boomin’s We Don’t Trust You album — K. Dot throws several volleys, suggestively targeting Drizzy and J. Cole.

“Yeah, get up with me, f— sneak dissing/ ‘First Person Shooter,’ I hope they came with three switches,” Lamar aggressively spews on his guest verse.

“First Person Shooter” was the joint song Drake and Cole released last year on which the latter boasted, “Love when they argue the hardest MC/ Is it K. Dot? Is it Aubrey? Or me?/ We the big three like we started a league.”

Ye’s “Like That” remix follows two recent responses from Drake, who officially dropped his “Push Ups” diss track through steaming services on Friday (April 19) and followed later that evening with “Taylor Made Freestyle” on social media. On “Taylor Made,” the 6 God uses AI verses in the style of Tupac Shakur and Snoop Dogg to further taunt Lamar, who has not yet responded to his “Push Ups” diss.

Canada Announces $600 Million Investment in Music and Media Amidst Online Streaming Act Controversy

As the U.S. government and major online streamers like Spotify and Apple Music push back against the so-called "streaming tax," the Canadian federal government will make its own investment to "provide stability and immediate support to Canada’s audio and audiovisual sectors."

The Canadian government is stepping in to support Canadian music and media amidst debates around the Online Streaming Act.

This morning (June 3), the government announced that it will offer immediate financial support for music, audio and audiovisual media with a $600 million yearly investment. The release says funding will "provide stability and immediate support to Canada’s audio and audiovisual sectors and keep our culture accessible and affordable for all Canadians."
