A Remix of Kanye West & Ty Dolla Sign's Song 'Real Friends' Feat. DMX Has Surfaced

‘Real Friends’ was one of the standouts on Kanye West’s latest album The Life of Pablo. In fact, it’s easily one of the best songs that the rap superstar has put in last few years.

Kendrick Lamar Shakes Up The Super Bowl With Bold Drake Diss And Surprise Guests

Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl 59 halftime performance was nothing short of legendary, leaving fans buzzing with surprise cameos and bold moments that took his long-running feud with Drake to new heights. Kicking off with an unreleased song snippet and followed by “Squabble Up” from his latest album GNX, Kendrick immediately set the tone for a game-changing performance. Fans eagerly waited to see if Kendrick would play his diss track Not Like Us, especially with Drake's ongoing lawsuit against him and his label for defamation and harassment. Lamar's performance included an unexpected appearance by SZA and a quirky cameo from Serena Williams, along with Samuel L. Jackson’s comedic interruptions, all building the suspense around the Drake drama. In the middle of his performance, Kendrick turned up the heat, looking straight into the camera and directly addressing Drake with his famous lyrics, “I heard you like them young," as fans held their breath. Despite the tension, Kendrick censored himself when it came time to call Drake a "certified lover boy" and avoided saying “pedophile,” which had been widely speculated. Social media lit up with mixed reactions, with some fans mocking the performance as a "mid mashup" and others noting the intense hostility toward Drake. With the hashtag #KendrickBowl trending, it’s clear that Kendrick’s performance was a cultural moment that pushed boundaries—but has he gone too far, or is this just another chapter in hip-hop history? Only time will tell, and Drake has yet to respond.

The song featured Ty Dolla Sign and was supposed to mark the return of ‘Ye’s G.O.O.D. Fridays series. It was produced by Boi-1da, Frank Dukes and Havoc. In March last year, Kanye’s friend Swizz Beatz announced on Instagram that DMX will be featured on the remix of the track, although it wasn’t revealed whether it would be an official release or just a freestyle sort of freebie.

Now after more than 18 months of wait, the song has finally made its way on the e-streets courtesy hacker group Music Mafia. “Thanks for the love and support baby, thank you, I hate you,” DMX says before kicking off his fiery verse on the song. This would have been a great moment if it was put out properly. You can listen here.
