From an interview on The Ringer:
"Q: What is your best L.A. story?
A: This is one of the best: I played basketball with Kanye for like three days a week for a year and I got close with him. He would invite me to his studio, and we’d hang out. And he’d show me things. When I was putting “Freaky Friday” out—it was coming out in two weeks—I said, “Kanye, I’ve got to show you my next video. I think you’d love it.” So I set up a time to go and play the video. And I’m in the studio. It’s just like me, Kanye, and one other person. I played it for him, and he loves it. And then we just talk, and then all of a sudden, Drake walks in. I’m totally not expecting it. Already I’m in the happiest place I could be, because I’m playing “Freaky Friday” for Kanye, and he’s loving it. And then all of a sudden, just with no warning, and nobody else is there. Drake walks in. With like one other guy. And I was just like, “Oh my god.”
I had met Drake before, but it was in passing. And my mind immediately switched to, “I’ve got to seem very cool for Drake right now.” And then Kanye was like, “Show Drake the video.” And then Drake sits and watches “Freaky Friday.” And he was like, “Man, this is one of the best videos ever.” He said that to me. He’s like, “Congratulations on all that’s coming for you.”
Q: How is Kanye at basketball? What’s Kanye’s game like?
A: He has a really interesting game. He’s so weirdly good at finishing. It seems like, whenever he drives, for a second you’re like, “This is going to be a hopeless endeavor.” And then he does these layups in the weirdest—you can’t defend it because they’re so nontraditional. The layups. You know what I mean? And he’s just like really good at scoring down low. It’s hard to explain. He is so good at these weird layups. There really isn’t a good comp. I’m thinking of like Paul Millsap or something. You know what I mean? But he plays like a small forward. He’s not a guard. He’s like a small forward. He’s good. When Kanye’s on my team, I’m happy."

So he played it for Kanye before it dropped but he said he couldn’t get Kanye to do the Kanye part so he got Kevin hart to do it.
Did he just not ask or what?

Wrong song. This is freaky Friday where he swaps bodies
Whew
Good for this guy man.
He always just bugged me, but he really slid on that Bieber feature and he seems like a cool dude.
this smells like bullshit , so kanye loved the video and he couldn't get him to show in the part where he says ? something something FaceTime kanye ?!
lmao this the second time i heard about kanye doing weird layups/circus shots, he seems like the type anyway
I play ball like Ye, we don’t really got the fundamentals but find a way to get down low and make it happen
lmao this the second time i heard about kanye doing weird layups/circus shots, he seems like the type anyway
you know he got a nasty post up game
hes like 5 foot 7
I know which is why his fadeaway would look mad funny
Kanye straight up going to the paint and putting. His body on the line. Real
Also if lil d***y keeps talking bout his driving game that means his jump shot is trash. “Ay let him shoot” faceass
i love the idea of lil d***y playing basketball with kanye 3 days a week lmao
just the mental image alone
