Rapper Kanye Westhas opened up about how Drake put pressure on him to step up his rhyming game earlier this year.

According to Kanye, the Canadian rapper forced him to become a better lyricist, telling XXL Magazine:

"Drake was the first thing that actually scared me and put pressure on me, because it was the first thing that was blatantly from a similar perspective and lane.

"When I feel pressure, I step my game up.

“So I believe that Drake made great music for people to love and enjoy, but he also forced me to step my game up, because I have to be Kanye West."
