Larry Hoover: Kanye and Drake put feud aside for prisoner concert.
Written byTimes Magazine
Ye's gaze (which recently changed mind ) name Kanye West) and Drake on stage together, fans would have no idea because of their longstanding feud. Over the past few years, we've seen ex-girlfriends with words, texts, and even emojis at war.
But they set it aside for a concert to attract the attention of the man they both want out of jail.
Organizers said that the Yes Show at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum was his first title in five years. He played various hits, including some from Drake's Find Your Love. In addition, Drake was seen singing offstage.
Drake then joined Ye, and they played a few songs together.
One person on Twitter said seeing them together was an "iconic moment in hip-hop culture," while another said it was "the greatest concert known to mankind." Larry Hoover is currently in a maximum-security prison in Colorado.
July court documents show that Hoover was the Chicago gang leader called the Gangster Disciples between 1970 and 1995. Under Hoover's leadership, the gang "sold large quantities of cocaine, heroin, and other drugs in Chicago." In 1973 he was found guilty of ordering the murder of a 19-year-old neighborhood drug dealer and sentenced to 150-200 years in prison.
In 1997, he was sentenced to six life sentences for federal drug conspiracy, racketeering, and continued involvement in a criminal enterprise.
Supporters say that while in prison, Hoover told members of the Gangster Disciples group that he condemned the violence, wanted all members to be educated at the school, and had rehabilitated himself.
Larry Hoover unsuccessfully sought his release or detention on a lower security basis under the First Step Act - a way to challenge the highly long sentence for federal drug-related crimes. The court's appeal alleges that Hoover is in "severe isolation" in prison, including up to 24 hours a day.
According to the project, Hoover - who is fighting for his release - "had no practical purpose" for much longer than the time he served.
