From fashion designing to creating hip-hop music, Kanye West has achieved a lot in his professional life. However, his recent controversial comments about Jewish people and his support for Adolf Hitler have made him a complex figure. Following his controversial comments, he lost many business deals as well. However, there was a time when the American rapper got a lot of praise for bringing Lamar Odom to his fashion show in 2016.

Lamar Odom was one of the names that the rapper admired. However, because of his medical condition, Odom was in a coma, which broke Ye’s heart. But it meant so much to him when the NBA star appeared at the Fashion Week Show.

Ye revealed it made him excited to have 50 Cent, Jay Z, and other young people at the event. As he was talking about the guests, he said Lamar Odom also made his first public appearance after being in a coma.

As thrilled as Ye was to have Odom, he revealed the real reason for his excitement. He said, “When he (Odom) was in a coma, I would come by and play him the new music.” Although Lamar Odom was in a coma, he remembered that music, Odom said to Ye. Well, guess which album Ye was playing at the event? It was the very album he played for Lamar Odom when he was in a deep sleep.

Ye himself walked Lamar Odom to his chair after they entered together at the event. West’s gesture didn’t go unnoticed by Odom, who recently opened about how grateful he was for the ‘Gold Digger’ singer and what he did back then.
