Having dropped the long-awaited \u2018BULLY\u2019 last Wednesday<\/a> (March 25), West kicked off his 2026 \u2018Ye: Homecoming\u2019 tour earlier this week, with the first gig in California\u2019s SoFi Stadium streamed in its entirety on his Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Halfway through last night\u2019s (April 3) second comeback concert, the rapper \u2013 who now goes by Ye \u2013 brought out Hill, who emerged on stage amid a cloud of smoke in a billowing dress. As the duo stood atop the grand orb-shaped stage, the crowd cheered as they launched into \u2018All Falls Down\u2019, marking the first time that they had ever shared a stage.<\/p>\n

It comes after Ye compared \u2018BULLY\u2019 to Hill\u2019s seminal classic \u2018The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill\u2019, saying: \u201cThis is more the way I remember [that] Lauryn Hill album, the way I remember Miseducation. I feel it is my Miseducation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Famously a long-time fan of Hill, Ye had sampled her track \u2018Mystery of Iniquity\u2019 on 2004\u2019s \u2018All Falls Down\u2019. At the time, he couldn\u2019t clear the original sample for the official release, instead opting to have Syleena Johnson to re-record the portions that featured on \u2018The College Dropout\u2019 version.<\/p>\n

Ye originally wanted Lauryn Hill on \u201cAll Falls Down\u201d in 2004 as it interpolates her song \u201cMystery of Iniquity,\u201d but he couldn\u2019t get the sample cleared at the time <\/p>\n

After Hill delivered a rendition of \u2018Doo Wop (That Thing)\u2019 from her debut record last night, she told the crowd, \u201cI brought some people with me,\u201d and was joined by her sons Zion Marley and YG Marley.<\/p>\n

YG and Hill sang \u2018Praise Jah in the Moonlight\u2019, his 2023 debut single, the mother and son co-wrote, and while it was the addition of Hill that sent the crowd into a frenzy, Ye brought out several more surprise guests throughout the show.<\/p>\n

Earlier in the night, Scott joined West to perform their collab track \u2018Father\u2019, and Scott also delivered a performance of \u2018Fein\u2019. Ye followed it up with the addition of CeeLo Green and Andr\u00e9 Troutman.<\/p>\n

Similarly to the first night of the trek, the controversial musician offered no commentary on the consistent backlash caused by his anti-Semitic outbursts<\/a>. Notably, he told the crowd on Friday: \u201cTonight we\u2019re going to put all this behind us, ain\u2019t that right LA?\u201d<\/p>\n

It comes amid a period of significant controversy after his upcoming Wireless<\/a> headline slots were announced earlier this week.\u00a0The rapper will\u00a0headline all three nights of the Finsbury Park festival<\/a>, with his shows described as a three-night journey through his \u201cmost iconic records\u201d.<\/p>\n

It marks his first UK performance in a decade \u2013 and his first London festival headline\u00a0set since he topped the bill at Wireless in 2014.<\/a>\u00a0He last played a guest-packed show \u2013 featuring the likes of\u00a0Skepta<\/a>,\u00a0JME<\/a>,\u00a0Vic Mensa<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Raekwon<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 during a surprise gig at London\u2019s Koko in 2015.<\/p>\n

The move has been\u00a0criticised by groups such as the Jewish Leadership Council and Campaign Against Anti-Semitism<\/a>, the former of whom called the move \u201cdeeply irresponsible\u201d (via\u00a0The Guardian<\/a>).<\/p>\n

London Mayor Sadiq Khan went on to slam West\u2019s booking<\/a>, commenting: \u201cWe are clear that the past comments and actions of this artist are offensive and wrong, and are simply not reflective of London\u2019s values\u201d.<\/p>\n

West\u2019s anti-Semitic remarks began when he made a series of offensive comments on social media in 2022. His remarks\u00a0saw his accounts on both Instagram and Twitter suspended,<\/a>\u00a0and the musician was\u00a0dropped by his lawyer, talent agency<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0record label,<\/a>\u00a0along with fashion brands such as\u00a0Balenciaga<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Adidas<\/a>.<\/p>\n

At first, West gave several interviews, refusing to apologise for making the comments<\/a>\u00a0while suggesting that\u00a0Jewish people should \u201cforgive Hitler\u201d.<\/a>\u00a0However, in 2023, West would deliver\u00a0an apology to the Jewish community<\/a>, going on to\u00a0blame alcohol for his behaviour the following year.<\/a><\/p>\n

In the wake of that initial apology, numerous lawsuits have been filed against the rapper with claims of extensive anti-Semitic behaviour. One former employee alleged that\u00a0the rapper said Jewish people were \u201cworking together to hold him back\u201d<\/a>. Another\u00a0former employee claimed he used antisemitic language in the workplace and praised Hitler<\/a> \u2013 something for which he allegedly paid a settlement for. In 2024, a separate ex-employee\u00a0accused him of being openly anti-Semitic in front of his staff<\/a>.<\/p>\n

West would share a number of\u00a0highly controversial posts in early 2025<\/a>, when he\u00a0took back an apology he previously made to the Jewish community for anti-Semitic remarks<\/a>, and then declared himself \u201ca Nazi\u201d. West then claimed\u00a0on X\/Twitter that, \u201cafter further reflection\u201d, he\u2019d \u201ccome to the realisation that I\u2019m not a Nazi\u201d,<\/a>\u00a0followed\u00a0only a few days later by yet more swastika apparel appearing on his X page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

West has since apologised for his actions by\u00a0meeting with a rabbi<\/a>\u00a0and taking out a\u00a0full-page ad in the\u00a0Wall Street Journal\u00a0broadcasting a separate apology<\/a>.<\/p>\n
