Jay Z and Kanye West are some of the most influential artists of their time and their rise together to reign supreme on “Watch The Throne” has always captured the minds of music fans everywhere.
That is the reason for everyone’s fascination when it comes to their bumpy relationship. People are always asking the question about whether or not the two are close any more longer.
In an interview with Zane Lowe in October, Kanye discussed the complexity of their relationship. “With Jay, I love all of these people, but you got to know there’s a lineage of Jay to Ye to Drake,” he said. It’s, this person is your idol. Then you get to know ’em, then you be friends, then you turn to frenemies, then you turn to enemies, and then you gotta bring back the positive energy. But that is the lineage of rap kings and inspirers.” In 2017, Jay told The New York Times’ T Magazine that him and Ye have “a complicated relationship”, but “there’s genuine love there.”
The two have recently shown the public that there is still a brotherhood between them as shown in the picture below of the rap icons shaking hands at Diddy’s 5th birthday party last night (December 14th).

Media outlets and social media were in joy seeing all these great talents under one roof. The list of stars included Beyonce, Post Malone, Offset, Kim Kardashian, and more were in attedance, The most widely circulated footage from the affair, though, is the video of Diddy, Pharrell, Jay-Z and Kanye below.
