Kanye West and Taylor Swift‘s long-standing feud flared up again recently. It all started with speculation about Ye aiming barbs at the pop star in his album, ultimately leading to an explosive rant from the rapper in response to Swifties’ backlash. While the ‘Red’ creator has maintained her silence on the matter, the ‘Donda’ rapper did not hesitate to claim to have contributed to Swift’s fame. Interestingly, weeks before this social media battle between the 46-year-old and Taylor Swift’s army, Travis Kelce showed his love for Ye’s creation.

The NFL star indirectly pushed for the revival of one of Ye’s past collaborations, which came to a heartbreaking end over a decade ago.

Travis Kelce praised Kanye West’s decade-old collaboration

Beyond his status as a maestro in rap, Kanye West is also popular for his inventive and cutting-edge sneaker artistry. Yeezy, his brainchild, has been a major factor in adding to the billion-dollar net worth that Ye has built up. And about a month ago, Travis Kelce shared his inclination toward the Yeezy 2 Red October sneakers as his cleats of choice in a New Heights Podcast clip. He specifically mentioned, “The original Yeezys, Nike Yeezys“, which was a partnership that existed before Yeezy joined forces with Adidas.

It was after the release of this particular sneaker model that Kanye West officially left Nike in the year 2013. While Travis Kelce was all praise for Yeezy, Ye’s brainchild, just a month ago, a lot has transpired in the past few weeks. The ‘Graduation’ artist recently came under fire for showing off his Spotify rankings in comparison to Taylor Swift on Instagram. However, despite all the hatred, there was someone who supported the Grammy-winning rapper in a touching gesture.

Kanye West took to social media to share his joy about a move from Donald Trump amid the ‘Vultures’ album controversy.

Donald Trump showed his backing for Kanye West

Donald Trump recently rolled into Philadelphia to push his new Trump Sneakers at Sneaker Con. However, the crowd was not feeling it and the ex-president got an earful of boos. To shift the mood of the event, Trump played Kanye West’s banger from ‘Vultures’ Vol. 1, ‘Carnival’ at the event. Ye, moved by this gesture, shared the video of Trump vibing to his chartbuster on Instagram. However, he removed the video later.

The ‘Donda’ rapper captioned the post with a simple “This made me smile”. The choice to play Kanye West’s track at the event, amidst all the album drama swirling around the rapper, was a testament to their rock-solid support for each other. Despite getting some backing, it is hard to say whether Travis Kelce would ever come out to applaud Ye again after his digs at Taylor Swift in the rant.
