Kanye West has shared footage from his Future Brunch event, which he hosted in February alongside Hollywood Unlocked’s Jason Lee as part of what the rapper dubbed “Black Future Month”.The roundtable event was attended by Black journalists from publications including Essence, Ebony, Billboard, The New York Times and many more, along with media executives and other notable guests.
West gave an address during the event, part of which included him touching on Larry Hoover bringing his feud with Drake to a close.After a longstanding beef, West and Drake came together in December for a benefit concert in Los Angeles.
The show intended to raise awareness and advocate for the freedom of Hoover, who is currently serving six life sentences in a Colorado prison for a range of crimes including murder, conspiracy, extortion and more.“Larry Hoover brought me and Drake together.
That man created peace. Larry Hoover called that from the prison, and everybody was happy,” West said during his Future Brunch speech.“When people see me and Drake pull up to a basketball game with both of our sons,” West continued, “that’s gonna save people’s lives in the hood.”See footage of that moment, shared by Complex‘s Eric Skelton, below.
