Bad Bunny abalou o mundo da Chuwi. Agora eles estão aproveitando o momento.

O rapper controverso realizou dois shows de retorno no Soldier Field, em Chicago, na sexta e sábado (4 e 5 de setembro), que o viram se reunir com Big Sean após anos de desavenças.

Other guests included Travis Scott, Young Thug, Chief Keef and Rick Ross.

Cudi was among the list of West’s previous collaborators who appeared at the second gig, joining to perform ‘Father Stretch My Hands, Pt. 1’, ‘Ghost Town’ and ‘Pursuit of Happiness’ to close out the show together.

Isso aconteceu depois de anos de disputa pública entre os dois, que se afastaram em 2022 depois que West removeu as contribuições de Cudi de seu álbum ‘Donda 2’.

West também teria ficado irritado com a amizade de Cudi com Pete Davidson, que estava namorando a ex‑esposa de West, Kim Kardashian, na época.

During their time apart, West has become an increasingly controversial figure, going on a series of anti-Semitic rants, praising Adolf Hitler and denying the Holocaust.

Earlier this year, West took an ad out in the Wall Street Journal to apologise.

Rosenberg’s post was made hours before Kid Cudi took the stage, but the rapper responded by saying he understands Rosenberg’s frustration, but adding: “I dont really care if ur disappointed in me.”.

Rosenberg esclareceu sua postagem original em uma resposta no sábado, dizendo que não estava falando especificamente sobre estar decepcionado com Kid Cudi, mas manteve sua crítica às pessoas que apoiam West.

I understand ur frustration Peter, I fucks w u, but I dont really care if ur disappointed in me. That man is my brother. U dont have a relationship w him like I do.

Damn near 2 decades of art and friendship. U not family. So I get it. Ive been around Ye, and I can honestly say… https://t.co/oIunsCXwEv.

Os shows fazem parte da turnê de retorno controversa e em andamento de West, que começou no SoFi Stadium na Califórnia e desde então o viu se apresentar na Holanda e na Turquia.

At the latter, Ye claimed that he drew 118,000 people to his Instanbul show and broke the record for the largest stadium performance.

Many of the dates have already been cancelled due to the rapper’s history of anti-Semitic comments and use of Nazi imagery – including London’s three-night Wireless Festival, which axed its 2026 event after the UK government blocked Ye from entering the country.

Os shows planejados de Ye na Polônia e na Suíça também foram cancelados, uma data na França foi adiada, e um show na Itália foi retirado por preocupações de segurança também.

In the States, Florida Senator Rick Scott unsuccessfully urged the Tampa Sports Authority to cancel Ye’s two June shows, and the mayor of San Antonio also failed to get his show at the city’s Alamodome on July 4 scrapped.

More recently, a stadium in Russia has said that the two planned West gigs “cannot take place”.

Os dois shows em São Petersburgo foram anunciados no mês passado, e os ingressos esgotaram em poucas horas. Eles estão programados para acontecer no Gazprom Arena nos dias 10 e 11 de outubro, e farão do West um dos primeiros artistas de grande porte a se apresentar na Rússia após a invasão do país à Ucrânia em 2022.
