Kanye West and JAY-Z in 2015.
The music icon, 47, looked in high spirits, to say the least, as he grinned from ear to ear while making his way into the exclusive venue, even taking the time to wave at starstruck fans.

"This album has a lot of topics that's why it had to be so short, it's so condensed", he added. "We've gotten past bigger issues, but you brought my family into it, now it's a problem with me", the rapper told hosts Elliott Wilson and Brian "B.Dot" Miller. He knows it's a problem, he knows that he crossed the line'. And I know he knows.
It can be recalled that Kanye started some controversies during his now-infamous concert in November 2016 when he made onstage remarks about Beyonce and JAY-Z.
On the stage, West - who was hospitalized in Los Angeles days after his rant amid a breakdown - admitted he had issues with the musical super couple.
The 40-year-old said: 'Beyonce, I was hurt because I heard you wouldn't perform unless you won Video Of The Year over me and over Hotline Bling. F**k winning, f**k looking cool, f**k being cool. And Jay groused Kanye never brought Blue Ivy to his house so all the kids could play. I know you got killas.
During the interview, Jay-Z opened up about his rumored feud with Kanye West, which was detailed in the lyrics of 4:44's "Kill Jay Z": "You walkin" around like you invincible / You dropped outta school, you lost your principles / I know people backstab you, I feel bad, too / But this "fuck everybody" attitude ain't natural / But you ain't the same, this ain't KumbaYe / But you got hurt because you did cool by "Ye". Please don't send them at my head. Talk to me like a man. Then, he called out Jay-Z and wife Beyonce in regards to the 2009 incident when West rudely interrupted Taylor Swift's's Video Music Awards acceptance speech to say that Beyoncé deserved to win. In his freaky outburst on stage at The Forum in Inglewood, California, Kanye fumed: "Beyonce I was hurt, I went down for seven years on your behalf". You wanna know how I'm feelin?
"You can't bring my kids and my wife into it."
'I can't take this shit, bro!
JAY-Z began to craft his 13th studio album at the top of 2017, on January 3, beginning with 4:44's opening track "Kill Jay Z" and "The Story of OJ", using "real-life" experiences that he was dealing with at that time as the cornerstone of the project.
JAY-Z pointed out that his current beef with Kanye is something serious as they haven't talked and tried to patch things up - something that they immediately do when they have disagreements in the past.
