Following years of feuding, Kanye West and Jay-Z seem to have resolved their issues. They reconciled at fellow rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs’ star-studded 50th birthday party in Los Angeles on Saturday.
Cameras captured the two greeting each other with a handshake and big smiles. They also posed for pics together.
Their reunion marked the first time paparazzi have photographed them together in public since August 2016. That was when the Carters, Wests, Diddy and then-girlfriend Cassie were at an MTV VMAs after-party in New York City.
The following November, Kanye famously complained about Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s behavior towards him. He did this while speaking onstage at one of his concerts.
Kanye accused Bey of refusing to perform at the 2016 MTV VMAs unless her “Formation” video beat his and Drake’s to win Video of the Year, which it did. Kanye West then pleaded with Jay-Z to call him.
Soon after his onstage rant, Kanye canceled the remainder of his tour. He was then hospitalized briefly after suffering a mental breakdown.
A year later, Jay said on the Rap Radar podcast that Kanye’s rant hurt him because he brought Beyoncé into it. Jay also told the New York Times that he loves Kanye and reached out to him.
