Kanye and Taylor Swift feud
Kanye and Taylor Swift's feud started back in 2009 when Kanye interrupted Taylor Swift's award acceptance speech at MTV VMAs in September. Kanye mentioned that the award must have gone to Beyonce instead, since then the singers have had an on and off relationship. Kanye also later apologised for his move and Taylor had accepted his apology.

After that, Kanye debuted his new album in February 2016 with the song 'Famous'. The song had questionable lyrics which he claimed were approved by Taylor Swift. The news later popped up that Taylor had actually not heard anything. A little while later, Kanye also dropped the video for the song which showcased Taylor lying naked next to him.
Kanye and Drake feud
Kanye and Drake feud has not been as public or as serious as Kanye's feud with Taylor. Apparently, Drake dissed Kanye a couple of times in his songs and Kanye mentioned that he didn't like that. Kanye felt that in one song Drake dissed his brand Yeezy. His tweet read - 'Still need that apology for mentioning the 350s and trying to take food out your idols kids mouths' (sic). Take a look:
