After seemingly putting an end to their feud, Kanye West and Drake are teaming up for a benefit concert to get Chicago gang leader Larry Hoover out of prison.
West announced on Instagram Saturday that he and Drake will be doing a joint performance at a benefit concert at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on Dec. 9 to advocate for clemency for Hoover.
West’s post was captioned,"God’s Plan," which is a nod to Drake's 2018 track.

According to Page Six, Hoover, 70, is serving six life sentences for ordering the 1973 murder of a 19-year-old drug dealer. The Gangster Disciples co-founder would later run a drug ring from prison that earned a shocking $100 million per year. Freeing Hoover was one of the topics that Kanye discussed during his meeting with former President Trump in 2018.
In October, Drake’s mentor, James Prince, took to Instagram to tease their collaboration to free Larry Hoover.
"Good plans in the making to free our brother Larry Hoover with the support of @champagnepapi and @kanyewest," he wrote at the time.

The collaboration was further teased earlier this week by Hoover’s son, Larry Hoover Jr., who spoke on the "Murder Master Music Show," Page Six reports.
