Kanye West may have disagreements, but the singer certainly strives to be a good parent. The ‘Donda’ singer who is often in the news for his controversies also has an abundance of feuds in the industry. But his musical talents are hailed by all, and his issues are kept aside when it comes to collaborating for it.

One of his open rivals is fellow rapper Drake, although the two have shared a love-and-hate relationship for a long. The two chose to showcase their professional self and performed together during a show in December 2021. Showing their support in the event was Ye’s former wife and kids.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West may have parted ways in a stormy manner, but they have always shown support for each other in front of the kids. As per E! Online, the ‘Gold Digger’ performed at the Angeles Memorial Coliseum last year. The event took place on 9th December 2021 as people gathered for the Free Larry Hoover benefit concert. Both Ye and Drake rocked the stage as they performed for a cheerful crowd. However, it was extra special for West since his ex-wife and children were also at the concert.

The singer was reportedly so excited to have his family there that he had his team reserve a VIP suite at backstage for them. The crew explained how he wanted everything to be perfect during the family’s presence. Kanye West also sang his own edited version of his 2010 song, ‘Runaway‘. Dedicating the lyrics to his estranged wife, the rapper sang about wanting her to run back to him. He even sent a truck full of roses on Valentine’s Day to win her back.

Even today, Ye and Drake do not share a very friendly relationship, mainly because the protective lover once asked the ‘Hotline Bling’ singer not to take his wife’s name. Drake once made an indirect reference to Kim Kardashian with the “kiki, do you love me” lyrics. Apparently, it’s Kardashian’s nickname. A protective West then attacked back by giving a warning through an Instagram video. Today, he and the SKIMS owner still find a way to co-parent while being free to be with other people.
