Their brief reconciliation soured after the famous rapper\u2019s controversial lyrics in \u201cFamous\u201d and escalated with a\u00a0leaked private call\u00a0by\u00a0Kim Kardashian\u00a0(who was West\u2019s wife at the time, however the pair called it quits when the\u00a0Kardashian\u00a0star filed for divorce in February, 2021).
