The former G.O.O.D Music artists showed up to support Kanye West.

The people who Kanye West once turned on continue to show up to support him. Big Sean and Kid Cudi were both in attendance at Ye’s latest Yeezy fashion show. Streamer N3on attended the event on livestream when he ran into Big Sean in the crowd, who gave him a warm embrace. Sean appeared to be talking to Kid Cudi right before he and N3on started talking. Moreover, 2 Chainz and Hit-Boy appeared to be in the background, too.

Kid Cudi and Big Sean’s issues with Kanye have been well documented over the years. Cudder, in fact, faced plenty of pushback this year when he performed with Kanye in Chicago. Although he previously revealed that they were on speaking terms again months prior, the performance sparked criticism from Peter Rosenberg, who didn’t mention Cudi by name but condemned anyone associating with Ye after he released “Heil Hitler.”

"I understand ur frustration Peter, I f**ks w u, but I dont really care if ur disappointed in me," Cudi said in response. "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.”

Ye’s issues with Big Sean were most notably highlighted during a controversial appearance on Drink Champs where he said signing the Detroit rapper was the worst decision he’s ever made. “I already decided that when I die, on my tombstone it's gonna say, 'I deserve to be here because I signed Big Sean,'" he said. "The worst thing I've ever done is sign Big Sean. The worst!"

The grievance had nothing to do with music or business, really, but the fact that Sean didn’t leap to his defense during his presidential campaign. But Sean did have issues with the way that Kanye handled their professional relationship, revealing that he was owed $6M in unpaid royalties.
