After his anti-Semitic remarks and getting briefly banned from social media, Kanye West has hinted at his plans at running for President in 2024. The rapper received backlash for attacking the Jews community and for making false claims. His remarks cost him his partnership with brands like Adidas, GAP, and Balenciaga, all of whom ended their contracts with the Donda rapper. Despite the setbacks, the producer is determined to run for the presidential election next year. He also recently picked a fight with the former president, Donald Trump.

Amidst all these controversies, Ye still had time to catch up with his friend, Ray J, who also happens to be Kim Kardashian’s ex.

The College Dropout rapper was seen on a dinner date with his friend, Ray J, and right-wing provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos at Giorgio Baldi in LA on Saturday.

The two struck up a friendship online when the Sexy Can I singer backed up Kanye West when he slammed Kris Jenner for her role in the infamous sex tape. Ray J and Kim Kardashian dated from 2002 to 2006 and their sex tape was leaked the very next year. Ye had shared a screenshot of Kim begging him to stop harassing her mom after he called her out. Ray J had dropped into the comments, to further add Kris was the “mastermind.” She had tried to ruin him as well for her gains and the 67-year-old made him “sick.”

This strange turn of events kicked off a friendship, and the two were spotted last month as well at the release of Candace Owen’s documentary, The Greatest Lie Ever Sold: George Floyd and the Rise of BLM.
