Kanye and Drake set aside feud for prisoner concert

The sight of Ye (who recently changed his name from Kanye West) and Drake on stage together is not something fans would ever expect to see, because of their long-running feud.

For the past few years we’ve seen the former friends locked in a war of words, lyrics and even emojis.

But they’ve put that to one side for a concert to raise awareness for a man they both want to be freed from jail.

The show took place in Los Angeles on Thursday night.

Larry Hoover, 71, is in one of the most secure prisons in the US.

He’s been behind bars for more than five decades for his involvement in crimes such as gang-affiliated murder.

Ye’s show at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum was his first headline performance in five years, the organisers said.

He performed various hits including some of Drake’s, such as Find Your Love. Drake could be seen singing along off stage.

Later, Drake joined Ye and they performed several tracks together.

One person on Twitter said seeing them perform together was “an iconic moment for hip hop culture” while another said it was “the greatest concert known to man”.
