Kylie Jenner has broken her silence just hours after her name hit #3 on U.S. Twitter trends. The 22-year-old billionaire now finds herself at the center of a storm resulting from leaked lyrics mentioning her as rapper Drake's "side-piece" – the Canadian Grammy winner's unreleased collaboration with rapper Future was all over the internet on Thursday.
Drake's lyrics read:
"Yeah, I’m a hater to society / Real s--t, Kylie Jenner that’s a side piece / Yeah, I got 20 motherf----in’ Kylies."
They don't stop there, also mentioning Kylie's 24-year-old sister Kendall Jenner, plus pregnant supermodel Gigi Hadid.

The lyrics continue:
"Yeah, I got 20 damn Kendalls / Young slim baddies and them in vogue / Yeah, I got 20 f----in’ Gigis."
Within hours of the digital space exploding over the lyrics, Drake issued an apology, with The Blast documenting traffic on Kylie's Instagram being particularly high as her oiled-up bikini video promoting her 2019-founded Kylie Skin line sky-rocketed to 18.8 million views – keep scrolling for the video. Kylie has since updated her Instagram, followed by 177 million fans.

Kylie's Thursday update came foxy as the Lip Kit queen posed seductively in a skin-tight white look with matching heeled booties while reclining on a pristine couch from her new $36.5 million mansion. The opening shot delivered sex kitten vibes, upped even more with a swipe to the right as the mom to 2-year-old Stormi Webter posed dripping in diamonds and showing off blonde hair.
"My days are made up of zoom meetings and playing dress up," Kylie wrote. The update clocked over 1.4 million likes in just 14 minutes.

Drake has since taken to Instagram with an apology – the "God's Plan" rapper however, declined to drop any names with the direction of his words.
"A song that Mark ran last night on night owl sound live set shouldn't have been played. It's a song that leaked 3 years ago and got scrapped shortly after. He was going too keep in the drake/future catalogue," he wrote, adding:
"Last thing I would 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."

Twitter's energy was directed at Kylie shortly after the leak, with users suggesting that an apology should be issued to the star's ex-boyfriend and baby daddy Travis Scott. Meanwhile, views to Kylie's super-sexy bikini video are likely netting the youngest KarJenner handsome profits. 2015-founded brand Kylie Cosmetics received a spin-off line in 2019 as Kylie Skin launched, with summer bringing fresh merch as the Calabasas-based star drops sunscreen.
Kylie and Drake have been romantically linked, with 2019 seeing Kylie attend the rapper's 33rd birthday celebrations.
