In addition to being friends, Kanye and Chris are also former collaborators.
The stand-up star was featured on the rapper’s iconic 2010 album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy on the song Blame Game.
Chris interrupted the meat of the song for a comical skit in which he played the new lover of a woman that the narrator had broken up with.
John Legend’s singing was also featured on the tune.
In 2022, in the wake of Kanye’s bizarre behavior following his split from ex-wife Kim Kardashian, Chris defended the producer when he was asked if Kanye was ‘crazy’ on Dana Carvey and David Spade’s Fly On The Wall podcast.
‘He’s an eccentric guy, you know? With Kanye I always go, “Is he worth it?’ And I’m like, “So far!”‘ he said.
However, he suggested that his interested in Kanye was more for his music than for a personal connection when he was asked if he thought the rapper was worth it as a friend or a musician.
‘As an artist,’ Chris replied. ‘He puts you through a lot but you’re like, “OK, the record’s pretty great! I love these sneakers!”‘

Kanye seemed to be in high spirits despite being sued recently by an autograph seeker
He claims West punched him during an altercation outside the members-only Soho House in Los Angeles

The meet-up comes shortly after West had all his teeth removed and replaced with titanium dentures in his latest shock move.
The rapper, who is being sued for allegedly hitting an autograph seeker in 2022, proudly flashed his pointy new smile in an Instagram post – in which he likened himself to iconic James Bond villain, Jaws, who appeared in The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker.
In an exclusive photo obtained by DailyMail.com, West’s lavish new dentures – which a source revealed are ‘more expensive than diamonds’ and were designed by the star himself – were shown.
The implant is a new surgical model and is unique to the musician – with the total cost rumored to be an eye-watering $850,000.
The star’s new dentures were fitted by Dr Thomas Connelly in Beverly Hills alongside Naoki Hayashi, Master Dental Technician.
Connelly told DailyMail.com: ‘Ye was a pleasure to work with every step of the process. His vision for designing unique art transcends the dental progression. The marriage of his vision with dental science has created a new look that is epic!’
Back in 2010 the rapper showed off the sparkling diamond and gold implants to chat show host Ellen DeGeneres — which he claimed had replaced his entire bottom row of teeth.
‘I just thought that diamonds were cooler,’ he told her, saying he asked the dentist to remove his bottom row of teeth and replace them.
