Looks like Drake and Future have decided to play nice.

Earlier this week, reports surfaced that Drake had booted Future from his upcoming arena trek over disparaging remarks the Atlanta rapper made about Drake’s latest album during an interview with Billboard.

But the two rapper-singers have since buried the hatchet and on Thursday, Future announced that he would indeed appear on Drake’s 39-city tour.

"I am set to continue as planned with Drake and Miguel on the Would You Like a Tour? tour slated to begin Oct. 18 in Pittsburgh. I'm looking forward to hitting the road this fall. Love4Life Honest," the rapper said in a statement, making sure to smartly plug his album.

He also tweeted to his fans Thursday that he was back in Atlanta getting ready for the tour.

The fallout reportedly happened after Future shared his thoughts on Drake’s latest chart-topper, “Nothing Was the Same,” during a Billboard interview earlier this month to preview his forthcoming album, “Honest.”

“Not only is future’s #honest album interesting, so are his thoughts on Drake’s #NWTS album,” Billboard associate editor Erika Ramirez tweeted before quoting her interview with Future: “ ‘Drake made an album that is full of hits but it doesn’t grab you. They’re not possessive; they don’t make you feel the way I do.’ ”

Continuing his “I’m just being honest” sentiments, Future also boasted that “I've been on the songs of all these rappers that put out an album, and my music is still better."

Damage control came rather swiftly. The rapper tweeted his disappointment in being “misquoted” and said he had nothing but love for Drake -- because you can't have love for someone and hate their album at the same time. Although Billboard's story was edited to remove the specific remarks, a rep for the magazine told the New York Post (the newspaper broke the story), “We regret that miscommunication surrounding Future’s recent visit, one that seemed clear to us was on the record, may have caused any trouble for the artist.”

After Drake reportedly demanded Future be dropped from the tour, and take a pay cut once initial negotiations for his return started, Future was said to be readying a lawsuit against Drake for lost wages of about $1.5 million. Whoever said honesty was the best policy certainly didn't work in hip-hop.

Drake’s coming tour makes two stops in the Southland: a gig at Anaheim’s Honda Center on Nov. 21 and one at Staples Center on Nov. 25.

Hip hop is so soft nowaday

Merely days before "Would You Like A Tour?" kicks off in Pittsburgh, the show might not go on with Future. Page Six reports that headliner Drake wants the "Honest" rapper off the bill.

The feud reportedly stemmed from Future's recent sit-down with Billboard, where he allegedly threw shots at Drizzy while previewing his forthcoming effort Honest.

"Drake made an album that is full of hits but it doesn’t grab you. They’re not possessive; they don’t make you feel the way I do’ — Future," associate editor Erika Ramirez tweeted from her interview.

Future and his reps were quick to call it a "missquote" that was taken out of context and it was deleted from the story.

“He told his agent either Future gets fired, or he’ll fire him,” a source tells Page Six about Drake, who was reportedly on bad terms with Future back in 2012 after failing to show up at the shoot for the auto-tuned MC's "Tony Montana" video.

Future was reportedly fired then brought back only to pull out of the tour. Ciara's significant other, who was set to earn about $40,000 per gig, is reportedly filing a lawsuit against Drake for lost wages, or about $1.5 million.

The tour has been experiencing technical difficulties from jump after it rescheduled 13 dates due to "an intense rehearsal schedule and technical production requirements that will be part of the show," according to a press release.

When asked why his upcoming album's release date was pushed back to later this year or top of 2014, Future replied, "I've been on the songs of all these rappers that put out an album, and my music is still better."

VIBE has reached out to the artists' reps for comment.

Hot rappers Drake and Future are facing off in a $1.5 million feud after Drake demanded supporting act Future be kicked off his tour in a beef over a Billboard article, Page Six can exclusively reveal.

Drake was booked to tour with Future and R&B singer Miguel on a 39-city schedule kicking off Friday in Pittsburgh.

Future went to Billboard magazine’s office on Oct. 4 to give editors a listen to his latest album, “Honest.” Associate editor Erika Ramirez published a story with quotes from Future, which she also posted on her Twitter feed.

“Not only is future’s #honest album interesting, so are his thoughts on Drake’s #NWTS album,” Ramirez wrote. She then went on to quote Future: “ ‘Drake made an album that is full of hits but it doesn’t grab you. They’re not possessive; they don’t make you feel the way I do’ — Future.”

After reading the story, Future’s horrified managers argued with the mag that his quotes were off the record and taken out of context. We’re told the online story was edited, but Ramirez didn’t delete her tweets.

Drake — whose previous rap feud with Chris Brown ended in a violent bottle fight between their entourages in a club last year — was so angry, he immediately demanded Future be booted from the tour. “He told his agent either Future gets fired, or he’ll fire him,” a source told us.

Future was fired, but then negotiations started to bring him back late last week. But over the weekend, Future pulled out for good after Drake’s camp demanded he make financial concessions. Future, who was set to earn about $40,000 per gig, is set to file a lawsuit this week against Drake for lost wages, or about $1.5 million.

The rappers’ beef is the latest drama in Drake’s tour. Last month, about a dozen dates were pushed back and rescheduled.

Reps for both Drake and Future had no comment. A rep for Billboard told us: “We regret that miscommunication surrounding Future’s recent visit, one that seemed clear to us was on the record, may have caused any trouble for the artist.”

Yes, but nikkas were also a lot more likely to handle something like this outside of Hot 97 or outside a concert date or appearance. Seems like Future didn't even try to settle this in any other way other than calling his lawyers.

Is Drake still going to perform his dates in Atlanta? I bet you he will.

I don't want to be cliche but the game has changed. Lawyers used to be a last resort. Now it's the first line of attack/defense.
