Drake shows support for Kanye West's late mom Donda: What we know

Kanye West and Drake, though, had a long-running feud, but it appears both have put the beef behind them.

This comes after Drizzy liked a post showing the unveiling of an honourary street road in Chicago named after his mother, Donda West.

Meanwhile, the Flashing Light hitmaker attended the ceremony, where his late mom was honoured.

West, meanwhile, had strong roots in the city's academic and literary community.

Alderman Greg Mitchell (7th), who attended the ceremony, raved about her, saying, "Dr. Donda West was not only a scholar — she was a builder of people, a cultivator of talent, and a champion for Black creativity and intellectual excellence."

"For nearly three decades at Chicago State University, Dr. West shaped minds and opened doors."

Dr. Garrard McClendon, a professor at Chicago State, viewed West as similar.

"As chair of the Department of English at Chicago State, she played a pivotal role in shaping the academic landscape of the institution."

"At Chi State, Donda's contributions were transformative," McClendon added.

"Her tireless efforts in establishing the Gwendolyn Brooks Center for Black Literature and Creative Writing stand as a testament and legacy to her unwavering dedication to celebrating African American voices and nourishing emerging literary talent," he said.

Ye's mom, West, passed away in 2007.
