Some of Kanye West's antics may have rubbed off on his newfound rap BFF Drake. Drizzy's latest beef with Rolling Stone for switching out his cover story at the last minute caused him to part ways with the PR firm ID-PR.

The Hollywood Report says ID initiated the split soon after the Rolling Stone debacle.

Drake had been working with the firm for the past year to handle publicity for third album Nothing Was the Same, as well as his current Would You Like a Tour?, which wraps March 26 with three dates at London's O2 Arena.

ID helped arrange the magazine feature with Rolling Stone. The magazine's last minute switch prompted a series of tweets that Drake has since removed from his profile. In the tweets, Drake clarified his comments regarding Kanye West's Yeezus, saying that they were shared off-the-record, and that he was "disgusted" that the magazine ran with the Hoffman cover instead of his.

Drizzy sent out this tweet among many others:

 "I'm disgusted with that. RIP to Phillip Seymour Hoffman. All respect due. But the press is evil."

The only tweet he didn't no remove says, "I'm done doing interviews for magazines. I just want to give my music to the people. That's the only way my message gets across accurately."

In a statement to Billboard, ID said, "Drake is an incredibly talented artist and we're proud of our results for Nothing Was the Same and Would You Like a Tour? We wish him the best."
