Kanye West once called James Blake his “favorite artist” and they first collaborated over a decade ago. In 2022, the English singer-songwriter and producer also teamed up with the rapper for a project called WAR, which never saw the light of day. Later that year is when Kanye — now Ye — started regularly spewing antisemitism on social media and directly associating with far-right figures and ideology. Ye’s comments were widely condemned and he lost several major business partnerships. Now he has released the new album Bully, and Blake is credited on the closing track, “THIS ONE HERE.”
