The Canadian artist and the athlete engaged in an exchange in 2014 during Wimbledon. During the Grand Slam, a young Kyrgios, who was 19 years old, was beating Jiri Vesely in the first round in his tournament debut. After the match, the Australian left a statement in which he said that Drake’s music was not optimal for preparing for a match: “I came out very flat, so I hope I never hear that again! It was actually Drake. He didn’t do the job for me,” the tennis player assured.

Those words didn’t go unnoticed by Drake. “I also want to meet this guy who says he lost because he listened to my music, I want to meet that guy and look him in the eye and see exactly who he is as a man, evaluate him and then cut him,” commented the rapper, another regular of the controversy. In addition, after the tennis player’s elimination at the hands of Marin Cilic, the artist took the moment to tease Kyrgios: “Nick what’s-his-name, because he didn’t win, that’s how he’ll be remembered, ‘Nick what’s-his-name.”

But the dispute finally ended this week with a conversation between the two through social media, in a conversation that Kyrgios uploaded on his Instagram and titled with a short, but very expressive sentence. “Sometimes my life isn’t real,” he shared on his personal profile.

In it, Drake began with the confession that Kyrgios was his “favorite tennis player” and that “when you told me he was trash it hurt me”. Something to which the tennis player responded by stating that he had not questioned the artist’s talent. “Haha, I didn’t say you’re trash. I love your music bro. I hope you’re well.” It all ended with Drake wishing the two had a reunion and wishing a speedy recovery to the Australian.
