Kanye and Drake joint album

It looks like Kanye West is willing to put his money where his mouth is. After going on an epic rant between rival streaming services Apple Music and Tidal, the hip hop star has announced that he will be releasing a joint album with Drake.

During the final night of Drake's OVO Fest 2016 in Toronto, Canada, the duo – who previously collaborated on songs including 2009's Forever and Big Sean's 2015 hit Blessings – hinted that they would make an album together

Fans will be hoping that the move will help also strengthen ties between Apple Music and Tidal. They companies have been at the centre of copyright infringement battle.

You may recall that over the weekend, Kim Kardashian's hubby urged Apple Music to purchase Jay Z's service saying that the "beef" was ruining the music game.

"Let the kids have the music Apple give Jay his check for Tidal now and stop trying to act like you Steve," he said.

The pair will be hoping to emulate the success of Kanye's iconic Watch The Throne with Jay Z which was released in 2011.
