It looks like Drake and Kanye West’s rift has ended, and J Prince must be applauded for this. Kanye West recently shared a picture with Drake and K Prince at Drake’s home.

Drake also shared a video where he and Kanye were spotted at a party where Dave Chapelle also appeared. J Prince is the man behind everything, and he is ready to bring them together and use them for a good cause.

Everything started at Houston’s Rothko Chapel, where Kanye and J Prince met each other. They discussed something and this ended the issues between Kanye and Drake. This was essential so that the rappers could organize a benefit show advocating the release of Chicago gang founder Larry Hoover.


Kanye denoted the reconciliation with a message on Instagram where he wrote that he was making the video to address the problems between him and Drake. He added that the issues have been sorted out and that he has asked Drake to join him as a special guest on December 7 and share the two major albums of the year live in Los Angeles and aim to release Larry Hoover.

Kanye also mentioned that the event would bring awareness to the cause and prove how much they can accomplish when they lay their pride to the side and come together.
