Travis Scott shocked fans when he brought out Kanye West to perform some memorable hits during a concert in Tokorozawa, Japan.
As part of his weekend-long Tokyo takeover, the Utopia rapper brought his Circus Maximus tour to Tokorozawa’s Belluna Dome, where he performed his notable material and brought out Ye. A clip shared online shows Ye pulling off a mask to reveal himself to the crowd and launching into his 2007 song “Can’t Tell Me Nothing.” Throughout the set, Scott, who’s a producer on Ye’s GOOD Music label, acted as hype man, helping the 24-time Grammy winner bring the energy as he rapped his 2000s hits.

West is attempting a comeback after his antisemitic comments last fall landed him in hot water. He was condemned by the Anti-Defamation League, faced suspensions on social media platforms and was dropped from major partnerships including with Adidas, Balenciaga and Gap. However, West has continued to cause controversy during his latest album cycle, with the title track’s lyrics including the line, “How am I antisemitic? I just fucked a Jewish bitch.” And, during a livestreamed album listening session in Las Vegas, West delivered a lengthy rant in which he compared himself to Jesus Christ and Hitler. Shortly after, he posted a brief apology to the Jewish community on Instagram, written in Hebrew.
