Ice Cube and Kanye West have seemingly called a truce after the West Coast rapper denied being a source of inspiration for the Yeezy CEO’s anti-Semitic remarks last year.
The two rappers were seen smiling and hugging outside of the “It Was a Good Day” emcee’s home in Marina Del Rey, Calif., on Friday.
West appeared to be in good spirits before he left in his car.
For the reunion, the “Jesus Walks” rapper wore a black short-sleeve shirt and black pants.
Ye, 45, completed his look with a black pair of sock shoes, which he has been seen wearing on several occasions.
Meanwhile, Cube, 53, sported a black hoodie, jeans, Nike sneakers and his signature LA Dodgers baseball cap.
Their meetup comes more than seven months after the “Donda” rapper made anti-Semitic comments during his infamous October 2022 appearance on the “Drink Champs” podcast.
In the since-deleted episode, West claimed that Cube — whose real name is O’Shea Jackson Sr. — had “really influenced” him to “get on this anti-Semite vibe.”
However, the former N.W.A. rapper took to Twitter soon after to dispel those claims.
“I hate that my name was dragged into this Drunk Champs bulls–t,” Cube tweeted last October. “I don’t know what Ye meant by his statements, you’re gonna have to ask him.
“I didn’t put the batteries in his back. Please leave my name out of all the antisemitic talk. I’m not antisemitic and never have been.”
The following December, the “F–k Tha Police” emcee doubled down, reiterating hat he was not to blame for West’s remarks.
“Like, homie. You gotta stand on this one on your own,” the “Friday” actor said on the “Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson” show. “That’s all that was about. You know, I didn’t say nothin’. It’s just, at the end of the day, I just had to let everybody know that don’t blame me for s–t.”
“Talk your s–t if you want to, but don’t blame me for s–t. If I ain’t up there speaking for myself, don’t blame me.”
West’s anti-Semitic comments previously caused the father of four to be booted from both Twitter and Instagram.
Ye previously tweeted that he would go “death con 3 on Jewish people” and blamed them for trying to “black ball” him for opposing their alleged agenda.
Due to his controversial remarks, both Adidas and Gap cut ties with the Chicago native.
