Legendary rappers Kanye 'Ye' West and Travis Scott embrace on stage as they perform together during Kanye's surprise guest appearance - marking the first time Ye has publicly performed since his string of controversial antisemitic statements in October of last year.

Kanye shocked lucky concert-goers as he was brought on stage for a special feature with Travis during his concert at Circus Maximus in Rome on Monday night. In the snaps of the concert, the two talented singers embraced in a hug on stage, a moment Ye's fans have been waiting for over a year. Before he brought the Praise God singer on stage, Travis introduced Kanye by saying: "There is no Utopia without Kanye West. There is no Travis Scott without Kanye West. There is no Rome without Kanye West. Make some noise for Ye.”

Before singing Kanye's famous hit song Can't Tell Me Nothing together in front of the insane atmosphere of a cheering 60,000 person crowd, Travis said: "Make some noise for the greatest of all motherf***ing time Ye." This is the first time fans have had the chance to hear the 46-year-old rapper sing live since his last performance in February of 2022 in Miami during a launch event for his album “Donda 2.”

At the end of last year Kanye took a break from his music career after over 25 years in the industry after he faced backlash from controversial antisemitic claims he shared during an interview and online. After the harmful remarks, the famous rapper was dropped by Adidas, his talent agency CAA, and the Balenciaga fashion house. Ye's Twitter account was also locked for a day following a string of aggressive comments made towards his ex-wife Kim Kardashian's ex-boyfriend comedian Pete Davidson.

Travis has also recently made controversial headlines as the 32-year-old is facing a lawsuit from multiple families that were affected by the crowd crush tragedy at his concert Astroworld at NRG Park in Houston, Texas. During the festival, ten concert-goers were killed from accidental compressive asphyxiation due to overcrowding suffocating the victims during Travis' set. His team has since been called "stunningly tone deaf" as they claimed the results from the police investigation purposely came out in time to "sabotage" Travis' new album.
