A fan posed between the Oscar-winning actor, 55, and Grammy-winning musical artist, 46, as they headed back on a flight from the Middle East.

Smith was pictured in a blue shirt sporting a goatee, while West wore a black hooded zip-up sweatshirt over a black shirt.

 

According to TMZ, the flight was an Emirates plane that was headed to Los Angeles from Dubai.

Smith over the weekend performed at the Soundstorm music festival in Saudi Arabia in a set with DJ Jazzy Jeff.

The pair took the stage in front of 50,000 fans at the festival prior to performances from Chris Brown and Wiz Khalifa.

Other notable artists who were featured at the festival included Metallica, Travis Scott, Black Eyed Peas, 50 Cent and Calvin Harris.

According to the National News, the Grammy-winning artists of hits such as Summertime and Parents Just Don’t Understand put on a 40-minute set that highlighted ‘Jeff’s underrated production and turntable skills and Smith’s undeniable showmanship.’

The set also included solo hits from Smith including Miami and Just the Two of Us, as the latter track saw Smith’s son Jaden, 25, emerge on the stage.

The outlet reported that West had been in Saudi Arabia after he’s spent time there working on a new album ‘over the past couple months.’

The controversial recording artist has made headlines in recent days with another antisemitic statement during an event in Las Vegas on Friday. That came a day after he was pictured at Disneyland in Anaheim, California on Thursday with wife Bianca Censori and daughter North, 10.  

Both West and Smith have seen their careers sag in the last two years as result of controversies.

West lost a number of lucrative partnerships after a series of media appearances in late 2022 in which he made antisemitic statements and praised Adolf Hitler

Smith is more than a year-and-a-half from his infamous incident at the 2022 Oscars in which he slapped comic Chris Rock after he made a joke about Pinkett Smith’s shaved head, saying, ‘Jada, I love you, G.I. Jane 2, can’t wait to see it!’

The reference was to the 1997 movie which featured Demi Moore with a shaved head. (Pinkett Smith has diagnosed with alopecia, which causes hair loss.)

Smith then walked onstage and smacked Rock, then returned to his seat and shouted at him twice, ‘Keep my wife’s name out of your f***ing mouth!’ to a stunned audience.

Later in the evening – in his acceptance speech after winning the Best Actor Oscar for his role as tennis patriarch Richard Williams in King Richard – Smith apologized to the Academy and other nominees, but made no reference to Rock.

Smith subsequently apologized on multiple occasions over the incident, and resigned from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences ahead of being issued a 10-year ban from the Oscars.

In an apology he issued in July of 2022 over the incident in an online clip, Smith said his spouse ‘had nothing to do with’ his attack on Rock.

‘I made a choice on my own from my own experiences, from my history with Chris,’ he said. ‘I want to say sorry to my kids and my family for the heat that I’ve brought on all of us.’

He added: ‘I’ve reached out to Chris and the message that came back is that he’s not ready to talk, and when he is he will reach out. So I will say to you, Chris, I apologize to you. My behavior was unacceptable, and I’m here whenever you’re ready to talk.’
