Kanye West has featured Jay-Z on his new album Donda and fans are shocked after they appear to have put their long-running feud aside.
It’s the first time the pair have collaborated since 2011, with Watch The Throne.
Despite their beef, the pair appear to have buried the hatchet after nearly 10 years.
At his listening party in Atlanta, Kanye unveiled the new record, with collaborations including Pusha T, Lil Baby and Travis Scott – but it was Jay’s appearance on the last song that caught fans’ attention.
On the track, Jay is thought to tease Kanye, rapping about his ‘red cap’ (a reference to his Make America Great Again cap, which he wore in support of former president Donald Trump).
Producer and music engineer, Young Guru, who’s worked with both Kanye and Jay, also revealed that it was a very last-minute collab, as he penned on Twitter: ‘HOV [Jay] did the verse today!!!! At 4pm.’
Fans celebrated the reunion on Twitter, with one writing: ‘A whole jay z and kanye west track in 2021. peace has been restored. the pandemic is over’.
‘Jay z and Kanye .. this is f**king mad,’ another added, while one more said: ‘Kanye and Jay Z collab in 2021…..this can’t be.’
While the pair have worked together since the 1990s, speculation spread about their feud in 2014, when Jay and Beyonce didn’t attend Kanye and Kim Kardashian’s wedding.
The pair hit out at each other various times in the years afterwards, with Kanye appearing to criticise Jay for not checking in after Kim was robbed at gunpoint in Paris in 2016.

However, it seems the long-running feud has finally been put to bed.
It was a night of reunions for Kanye as his ex-wife Kim supported him at his listening party, even matching him in an all-red number.
The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star, who previously vowed she’d always be Kanye’s ‘biggest fan’ despite filing for divorce in February, shared a video of her ex as he addressed the crowd on her Instagram stories.

She also brought their children, North, Chicago, Saint and Psalm, along to support their father.
Donda is Kanye’s first album release since 2019’s Jesus Is King – and safe to say fans are completely hyped for the new record.
