Nick Kyrgios, the 28-year-old tennis sensation, has remained in the spotlight even while staying away from the tour because of the controversies following him. From on-court outbursts to heated exchanges with fellow players, Kyrgios has become a familiar name in the tennis world for his outspoken behavior. Among the many controversies that the Aussie is a part of, his beef with the famous rapper Drake recently got enough attention from fans on social media.

The beef, which took place when Kyrgios was just 19, started with a comment from the Aussie about not listening to Drake due to his slow start. The situation quickly escalated as Drake responded with a challenge. Coming out from the long-lasting dormancy, the feud opened up again just a few days ago after the artist finally decided to have a direct conversation. Considering the hype, Kyrgios marked an end to the debate by expressing his admiration for Drake’s music during his appearance in the internet personality Jay Shetty’s latest podcast episode.

“I said it jokingly, and he responded in kind. We exchanged a few words, and after Wimbledon, he reached out. I’d love to get him involved in my stuff, but I also respect that these guys have a lot going on in their lives. If they speak to me or send me a message, that’s a bonus so I do love his music, I’m just going to say that,” Kyrgios revealed. This unexpected turn in the Kyrgios-Drake story seems to have marked an end to the beef, developing a healthy relationship between the two.
