Vanguard Award winner Kanye West speaks onstage during the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards at Microsoft Theater on August 30, 2015 in Los Angeles, California. Mark Zuckerberg is a presenter at the 2014 Breakthrough Prizes Awarded in Fundamental Physics and Life Sciences Ceremony at NASA Ames Research Center on December 12, 2013 in Mountain View, California.

No word on if Zuckerberg committed to investing $1B into Kanye West ideas.

Kanye West recently delayed the release of his upcoming album Yandhi because it's not ready. While we could only imagine that he's been locking some serious time perfecting the Ye follow-up, it looks like he took some time off of recording and producing to do some karaoke with one of the leading CEO's in the tech world.

Kanye West chose Mark Zuckerberg as his karaoke partner last night. The artist took to Twitter to share a photo of himself and the Facebook CEO having a bit of fun at karaoke while singing a classic hit by the Backstreet Boys.

"We sang Backstreet Boys I want it that way," 'Ye wrote on Twitter.

According to Eater SF, Kanye West and Mark Zuckerberg's little karaoke sesh took place at a Japanese restaurant in San Francisco called YamaSho that simultaneously serves as a karaoke bar.

Unfortunately, no video evidence of their karaoke session has emerged, nor is there any information pertaining to what they talked about during their time together. Kanye West and Mark Zuckerberg have an interesting relationship, at least in the public's eye. Back in 2016, Kanye West took to Twitter to ironically ask Zuckerberg to invest $1B into "Kanye West ideas." Zuckerberg indirectly responded to 'Ye's request by liking a Facebook post calling out 'Ye for reaching out to the Facebook CEO on Twitter.
