Kanye West and Ice Cube appeared to have buried the hatchet when they were spotted meeting up in Los Angeles this week.
Ice Cube, 53, welcomed Kanye, 45, to his home, where the two men were spotted enjoying a friendly chat outdoors.
Their conversation concluded with a warm embrace, during which both of them were seen beaming before Kanye headed off.
Last year the duo were at odds over Kanye’s string of anti-Semitic outbursts, which included a vow to ‘go death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE.’
As Kanye’s career imploded from the scandal, he went on the podcast Drink Champs and claimed his rants were inspired by Cube’s social media – a charge Cube vehemently denied, insisting: ‘I didn’t put the batteries in his back.’

However Kanye seemed in bright spirits after this week’s confab with Cube, spreading his arms in an apparent show of relaxation.
His latest sighting comes two months after Kanye bizarrely wrote on Instagram that ‘watching Jonah Hill in 21 Jump street made me like Jewish people again.’
Kanye, whose mental health struggles have surfaced in the headlines in the past, added: ‘No one should take anger against one or two individuals and transform that into hatred towards millions of innocent people.’
His Instagram post concluded: ‘No Christian can be labeled anti-Semite knowing Jesus is Jew. Thank you Jonah Hill I love you.’
Jonah has maintained a public silence on the subject, ignoring the paparazzi who tried to ask him about Kanye while he left Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica.
Last October, Cube insisted he did not inspire Kanye’s anti-Semitic rants, after the controversial rapper referred to him as a heavy influence in his controversial remarks.
Cube defended himself on Twitter shortly after Kanye claimed Cube had ‘really set me up for this’ during an appearance on the podcast Drink Champs.
‘You’ve really influenced me to get on this antisemite vibe,’ Kanye said of Ice Cube during his interview before adding, ‘I’m here to finish the job.’

But Cube was having none of it and took to Twitter to remove himself from the controversy.
‘I hate that my name was dragged into this Drunk Champs bulls***. I don’t know what Ye meant by his statements, you’re gonna have to ask him,’ he tweeted.
‘I didn’t put the batteries in his back. Please leave my name out of all the antisemitic talk. I’m not antisemitic and never have been,’ he added.
Cube has previously been accused of posting anti-Semitic memes in the past.
In 2020, he vehemently denied his Twitter account had been hacked following allegations he had posted anti-Semitic memes.
The N.W.A. frontman took to Twitter to issue the clarification after fans called him out for disseminating an ‘Anti-Semitic trope’.
‘What the f*** are you doing?’ demanded one user of the outspoken rapper.
‘This is CUBE,’ began the Straight Outta Compton hitmaker. ‘My account has not been hacked.’

‘I speak for no organization. I only speak for the meek people of thee earth. We will not expect crumbles [sic] from your table.’
‘We have to power of almighty God backing us all over the earth. NO MORE TALKING. Repent.’
The statement appeared to be in response to many Twitter users pointing out that some of the many memes reposted by Cube -whose real name is O’Shea Jackson- were discriminatory against the Jewish faith in nature.
One particularly contentious image depicted a group of men with exaggerated facial features typical of antisemitic imagery playing Monopoly, with the board resting on the backs of several black people.
Cube captioned the post, ‘F*** THE NEW NORMAL UNTIL THEY FIX THE OLD NORMAL!’
Twitter user Tara Dublin called out the Three Kings actor, replying ‘Cube, this is an Anti-Semitic trope. Please take it down as it suggests Jews control everything. And trust me, we don’t. Because if Jews controlled everything, I would be rich af & Donald Trump would be in prison #DoBetter’.
Another image tweeted out by Cube to his followers seemed to suggest that the ‘Black Cube of Saturn’ lies within the Star of David.
The Black Cube of Saturn is claimed by conspiracy theorists to be an occult symbol.

In the comments on the post, user Roxanne Gay wrote, ‘It is impossible to take you seriously with regards to social justice or,.. anything when you post anti-Semitic imagery. What the f*** are you doing?’
Kanye was previously kicked off Twitter for declaring war against the Jewish people.
He wrote: ‘I’m a bit sleepy tonight but when I wake up I’m going death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE.
‘The funny thing is I actually can’t be Anti Semitic because black people are actually Jew also. You guys have toyed with me and tried to black ball anyone whoever opposes your agenda.’
Deafcon – also known as defense readiness condition – is an alert used by the US Armed Forces to indicate how quickly the military can be deployed during deadly emergencies and attacks.
Many Hollywood A-listers soon called out the rapper for his remarks, and he was kicked off Twitter for violating its terms and conditions. West has gone on several more anti-Semitic rants since his initial tweet.
