Rap artists Kanye West and Ice Cube have declared a truce. Photo published print Page Six.
The musicians were spotted smiling and hugging each other outside the home of the host of It Was a Good Day in California. West and Ice Cube were seen together in public for the first time since ex-husband Kim Kardashian’s anti-Semitic scandal in October 2022.
In an episode of the later-deleted Drink Champs podcast, West claimed that Ice Cube “really impressed” him “to get into that mood”. A colleague of West’s later denied this information and said it had nothing to do with his statements about the Jews.
During the scandal, Ice Cube urged West to stop mentioning him in such conversations. “I didn’t inspire him. Please remove my name from all anti-Semitic talk. I am not an anti-Semite and have never been, ”the rapper said.
Kanye West has allowed himself to make anti-Semitic statements for several months: for example, Jews allegedly discredited the “offended” dictator by Hitler’s “expulsion” from the country. He also insisted that it was the Jews who controlled the media, real estate, commerce and banks, and urged them to “work for Christians”.
