Your support makes all the difference.Kanye West joined Drake onstage in Chicago last night to perform three tracks from the pair's respective back-catalogues; “Pop Style”, “Famous”, and “Father Stretch My Hands Pt. 1”.
Emerging on stage dressed in all white, Kanye leapt into his guest verse on Drake’s “Pop Style”, the crowd exploding into screams of excitement.
Following the brief performance, Kanye addressed his ongoing argument with Taylor Swift over the now-infamous lines in the song “Famous”.
Speaking to the audience, he said: “All I gotta say is, I am so glad my wife has Snapchat. And now y’all can know the truth. And can’t nobody talk sh*t about Ye no more.”
Watch the moment below via Twitter, featuring hundreds of people singing back the much-discussed line: “I made that b*tch famous.”
For those not religiously following the goings on of Kanye West, his partner, Kim Kardashian, recently sent out a Snapchat video seemingly showing Taylor Swift approving the lyrics to “Famous” over the phone.
Since then, Swift has accused Mr and Mrs Kardashian-West of “character assassination”, holding her stance that she did not approve of Kanye referring to her as a ‘b*tch’ in the song.
Further controversy unfolded when Kanye released the music video for “Famous”; it features numerous high-profile celebrities sleeping next to each other naked in bed.
