Drake has made it clear that he wants “no new friends,” but the tide is turning for Drake and his rival Tory Lanez.

On Instagram, two pictures with the rappers standing together were posted yesterday. One of the photos was posted on the Instagram of both Tory Lanez and Drake, and was captioned with vague, yet amicable comments about each other and the city they represent.

Is this the end of their seven year beef? Only time will tell. But as of right now, everyone is agreeing that they are moving on so that Drake can focus on his beef with Meek Mill. The feud between Drake and Tory Lanez has a long history, beginning in 2010 and staying alive through Tory Lanez’s attacks on Drake. Drake clapped back occasionally at the little-known rapper, but sent his strongest rebuttal in his latest album:

His verses here include veiled references to Tory Lanez, and argue that Lanez wants to be like Drake, and only projects his insecurities about not being famous at Drake by insulting him.

Lucky for fans of both rappers, the feud seems to have subsided, and the question has turned to when the rappers will write a single together. For now though, two pictures on Instagram will be the only appearance together in public for Drake and Tory Lanez.
