This conversation shows the growth of Nick Kyrgios as a person. The Aussie often labelled as troublesome and controversial is quickly winning over people from all sections of the world. Earlier in his career, Kyrgios and Drake had a little controversy after the Australian called out Drake’s ‘flat’ music.
Nick Kyrgios and Drake have a history together
During 2014 Wimbledon, 19 year-old Nick Kyrgios claimed that he lost the opening set of his match against Jiri Veseley because he was listening to Drake pre game. The Aussie mentioned that he would never listen to Drake again before matches because his music is flat.
”Today was a bit of rap, actually. I came out really flat, so hopefully I won’t listen to that again. It was actually Drake. Didn’t do the job for me.”
This statement did not go well with Drake who hit back at Kyrgios and even said that he will ‘chop him down’, if he runs into the Australian. Now, the recent exchange between the duo suggests that these things are in the past.
