Drake apologized after referring to Kylie Jenner as his "side-piece" in an unreleased song featuring Future that he teased on an Instagram live hosted by the Night Owl Sound's account on Wednesday.

"Yeah, I'm a hater to society. Real s---, Kylie Jenner that's a side-piece. Yeah, I got 20 motherf---ing Kylies," the "Toosie Slide" rapper says before Future drops in to reiterate that he, too, has "20 damn Kylies."

Drake also throws in lines about the makeup mogul's older sister Kendall Jenner and supermodel Gigi Hadid.

"Yeah, I got 20 damn Kendalls. Young slim baddies and they en vogue. Yeah, I got 20 f---ing Gigis," he raps.

TMZ reported that the "Jumpman" artists previewed parts of the song in 2018. However, Future previously delivered the lyrics about Kylie rather than Drake.

The "God's Plan" rapper was rumored to be romantically involved with the youngest member of the Kardashian-Jenner family in late 2019, shortly after she and Travis Scott broke up after two years of dating. Before speculations about Drake and Kylie surfaced, Scott collaborated with the "One Dance" artist on the 2019 track "Sicko Mode."

Neither Kylie nor Drake has confirmed the romance, but when he spits the lines about her instead of Future, the "side-piece" comment carries more weight.

On his Instagram story on Thursday, Drake issued a written apology, stating that he didn't intend to play the song.

"It's a song that leaked three years ago and got scrapped shortly after," he wrote.

The rapper continued, "Last thing I'd want to do is wake up having any friends of mine feeling disrespected so I just had to say that to start off the day."

Others were shocked that Drake would rap about Scott's ex after the musicians worked closely together on "Sicko Mode." Many predicted a feud would ensue between the artists.
