In the song, Drake called Kanye "burnt out" while noting the beef was irrelevant to him and adding the father of four's age to his message.
In his line, Drake raps:
"All these fools I'm beefin' that I barely know; 45,44 (barned out) let it go; Ye ain't changing sh** for me, it's set in stone."
The God's Plan rapper naming Kanye in his verse (Ye) and his age 44, was clear whose message it was.
Kanye's response
In the aforementioned online reply by Kanye, he shared a screenshot showing a group chat that also included rapper Pusha T, who is known to also have beef with Drake.
Kanye shared the image of Joaquin Phoenix's Joker followed with the message:
"I live for this. I have been f****d with my nerd a** jock ni*** like you my whole life. You will never recover. I promise you."
It is not clear, however, why the two have ignited the beef, but many fans believed it all has something to do with their album releases.
Kanye has been delaying his Donda album release for the longest time, and some believe he decided to wait for Drake to release his, Certified Lover Boy, which is to drop in just weeks.
For hip hop heads, remember what Kanye did to 50 Cent back in 2007? He might be playing the same card again.
Kanye listening party
Earlier, it was reported that Kanye is taking his Donda listening party to his hometown of Chicago, US.
The rapper has hosted two album listening sessions in Atlanta, but it is still not clear when he will drop the highly-anticipated project for the whole world.
He reportedly took to social media to announce that the third event will occur at Soldier Field in his hometown.
The event is set to take place on August 26.
