Kanye West Reemerges At Kid Cudi Show in Chicago

On Saturday night, Kanye West made his grand return to the stage during a Kid Cudi concert at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago. It was the MC’s first live performance since he was hospitalized about one year ago. West last performed for Chicago in October 2016 as part of his Saint Pablo Tour. He was forced to cancel the rest of the tour last November while dealing with health issues and hasn't been on tour since.

The reinvigorated 40-year-old rapper was smiling as he performed “Father Stretch My Hands, Pt. 1” from his 2016 album, The Life of Pablo with Cudi by his side. His fitting visit to his hometown comes days before the tenth anniversary of the passing of his mother, Donda West. Kid Cudi, who is in the middle of his Passion, Pain & Demon Slayin' World Tour, spoke out last October about his personal struggles with mental health. Like West, he checked himself into a rehab facility for depression the last fall before he was about to perform with the rapper on his Saint Pablo Tour.

Speculation surfaced in August that West and Cudi were working together when spotted in Japan, but nothing has been confirmed. The two artists initially teamed up on West’s 2008 album, 808s & Heartbreak. Shortly afterward, West produced tracks on Cudi’s first two solo records, 2009's Man on the Moon: The End of Day and 2010's Man on the Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager. The “Gold Digger” singer's previous release was The Life of Pablo, his seventh studio record. Kid Cudi’s sixth studio album, Passion, Pain & Demon Slayin’, was released last December. It features the two singles, “Frequency” and “Surfin’.”

Most recently, Kid Cudi performed at Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival in Los Angeles on October 29. The singer plays tonight at Myth Live Event Center in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Kid Cudi, who's real name is Scott Mescudi, will conclude his tour on November 22 at WaMu Theater in Seattle, Washington.
