Kanye West has been making amends again after taking a break from the limelight ahead of the controversies that led many fans and celebrities to distance themselves from him. But he is slowly focusing back on both his career in fashion and music, on the way to rebuilding his billionaire empire again. Not only this, the rapper is also winning his legal battles as well and it seems that his stars have started aligning again.

Ye collaborated with many artists over the years, some of whom even criticized him for his actions. But the rapper has been meeting people for work and mingling with them again. The latest one to patch up with him is his long-time friend, O’Shea Jackson Sr, also known as Ice Cube, ending the feud between them.

When Kanye West stirred up a storm with his anti-Semitic controversy, Ice Cube somehow got pulled into it as well. But according to PageSix, the two were seen hanging out recently. The rapping duo was clicked outside Ice Cube’s home in Marina Del Rey, California. They were all smiles, hugging it out as the paparazzi clicked them. Ice Cube wore a cap and sweatshirt, while Ye had changed from having a long beard and a clean shave.

The two had beef when West gave Ice Cube credit for his anti-Semitic ideas. In a Tweet, the ‘Why Me’ singer clarified that he had nothing to do with this bulls*it. He distanced himself and clarified how he was not an anti-Semite. He wanted Ye to speak for himself and not drag his name.

Ye first shook up the world with his anti-Semitic narrative by writing “DeathCon 3 to Jewish people” in his Tweet which even earned him the title of “American Dieudonné.” Celebrities criticized him for hurting the Jewish community, with music apps and mainstream media shunning him. This led to brands like Adidad and GAP, distancing themselves from the rapper leading to a huge loss for the ‘Graduation’ rapper.

Weeks after going underground, he put a poster of 21 Jump Street on his Instagram, stating that Jonah Hill cured his anti-Semitism. Now that he is slowly making a return, he is getting along with people again and also winning his legal battles as well. The artist is focused on working with the new Yeezy 10 collection for which he is even looking for interns at the moment.
