Kanye West has unleashed an epic Twitter rant on Thursday night.
The 41-year-old I Love It artist spent much of the evening posting tweet after tweet about what he claimed were 'threats' made against him by the 32-year-old Canadian rapper.
'So drake if anything happens to me or anyone from my family you are the first suspect So cut the tough talk,' wrote Kanye.
Tirade: Kanye West, 41, spent much of the evening posting tweet after tweet about what he claimed were 'threats' made against him by 32-year-old Canadian rapper Drake
In an earlier tweet, addressed to no one in particular, Kanye claimed 'Drake called trying to threatened [sic] me.'
Another post read: 'Never threaten north saint and Chicago's dad bro'.
The Power rapper also took aim at Drake's legacy, writing, 'There would never be a drake without a Kanye west so never come out your mouth with a threat [sic]'.

In later tweets, the Gold Digger hitmaker again made claims about threats of violence, writing 'You threatened the safety of me and my family'.
He also cried foul financially, writing, 'You tried to hurt my pockets.'

The barrage was sparked when the Canadian rapper apparently reached out to Kanye's team asking for permission to use a sample from the West's song Say You Will.
It triggered a series of annoyed tweets from Kanye, who claimed among other things that he had been trying to meet with Drake for six months.
Kanye shared a text message from his friend Free along with a cryptic caption at around 1pm on Thursday.
The text read: 'Drake sent in a clearance request for Say What's Real. Do you wanna clear?'
Kanye added in the accompanying caption 'This proves s**t faker than wrestling.'
The husband of Kim Kardashian then went off on a Twitter rant which seemed to be referring to on ongoing feud with the former Disney Channel star.
'Still need that apology for mentioning the 350s and trying to take food out your idols kids mouths,' he stated, following with 'been trying to meet with you for 6 months bro You sneak dissing on trav records and texting Kris talking bout how's the family.'
Fighting words: Indeed, Kanye shared a text message from his friend Free along with a cryptic caption at around 1 p.m. on Thursday
He then went on to remind Drake that he was in fact not the one who informed Pusha T about Drake's low-profile son, adding 'It's all love bro bro but don't play with me. You stay too close to be playing all these industry games bro.'
Kanye even mentioned his recent mental struggles, and how apparently Drake was less than sensitive to his challenges.
'Sending purple emojis When I'm dealing with mental s**t I need my apologies now Not through scooter either Not through Travis [sic]' demanded the multi-platinum recording artist.

Success? After several other accusatory statements Kanye reported back to fans an hour later stating that 'Drake finally called,' and 'mission accomplished'
Things then got somewhat more abstract: 'this ain't about who could pay to have something done to somebody This man to man bro This been bothering me too long.'
After several other accusatory statements Kanye reported back to fans an hour later stating that 'Drake finally called,' and 'mission accomplished.'
He no doubt added a bit of fuel to the fire with the final comment 'By the way... not cleared,' which he punctuated with a hilariously crying emoji.
For Drake's part, he was mostly silent during the tweet storm, though, upon hearing his request was denied, replied with five crying emojis via his Instagram story.
