Drake is set to join Kanye West to perform at a special benefit, after ending their feud.
The rappers had been embroiled in a long-running row before appearing to put the drama behind them recently, at a very swanky bash.
Proving there is no bad blood between the pair, Ye asked the Hotline Bling icon to join him on stage at a concert next month, to ‘raise awareness and support’ for imprisoned gang leader Larry Hoover, as well as ‘the cause of prison and sentencing reform’.
In a statement, he announced: ‘I believe this event will not only bring awareness to our cause, but prove to people everywhere how much more we can accomplish when we lay our pride aside and come together.’
The gig will be held at the Memorial Coliseum in LA on December 9, with tickets on sale tomorrow.
Earlier this month, Kanye sent fans into meltdown as he appealed to Drake to end their beef, urging: ‘I’m making this video to address the ongoing back-and-forth between myself and Drake.
‘Both me and Drake have taken shots at each other and it’s time to put it to rest.
‘I’m asking Drake to join me on stage as a special guest to share the two biggest albums of the year live in Los Angeles with the ultimate purpose being to free Larry Hoover.
‘I believe this event will not only bring awareness to our cause but prove to people everywhere how much more we can accomplish when we lay our pride to the side and come together.’
Drizzy couldn’t help but agree, with the pair seen partying together in Toronto shortly afterwards.

The duo have been locked in a bitter feud for several years, with tension rocketing amid speculation that Drake had been romantically involved with Kanye’s wife Kim Kardashian.
They continued to trade barbs through their music as fans watched on in shock.
Drake is also said to have intentionally moved the release date of his album Certified Lover Boy to the same day Kanye dropped Donda.
Thankfully it looks like the drama is well and truly behind us now.
