Kanye West and Dennis Rodman love for Chicago is reportedly what brought them together.

While Kanye West's love for Donald Trump pissed off a lot of fans, his newfound friendship with Dennis Rodman simply called everyone off guard. Last week, Kanye West shared a photo of a signed Chicago Bulls jersey from Dennis Rodman before calling The Worm one of his "biggest inspirations." Many people believed their connection was made from their friendships with Donald Trump but it seems like that's not the case. West and Rodman reportedly bonded a few months back at March For Our Lives rally in DC.

Dennis Rodman spoke to The Blast recently and revealed that he and Kanye West bonded over their love for the city of Chicago during the March For Our Lives rally in DC a few months back. Shortly after linking up and taking a flick together, Rodman said that he wanted to 'Ye a signed jersey since he was a big fan.

While Kanye's appreciative of Rodman "breaking barriers with independent thought," it seems as if the feeling is mutual. Rodman is reportedly a fan of Kanye's "free spirit." 'Ye's blonde hairstyle got Rodman's co-sign due to The Worm's own hairstyle in the 90's.

Despite their mutual love for one another, Kanye West has yet to respond to Dennis Rodman's request to collaborate on a song about "world peace" and "leaders of love."
