In 2022, the English singer-songwriter and producer also teamed up with the rapper for a project called WAR which was never officially released.

Ye's comments were widely condemned and he lost several major business partnerships. In 2024 Blake appeared on “TALKING,” West and Ty Dolla $ign’s Vultures 1 track that marked Ye’s daughter North West’s musical debut.
