Kanye West and Justin Bieber plotting joint comeback to turn their 'scandals and shortcomings into cash'

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Kanye West and Justin Bieber may be joining forces for a surprise comeback, according to reports.

After years of silence following their bitter fallout, the two music stars are reportedly plotting a new tour and media push to reshape their public image and make serious money from it.

Kanye West and Justin Bieber talk comeback after troubled past

Sources claimed the pair have reconnected behind closed doors and are using their past controversies as fuel for a joint revival.

“They're both bitter at the world and are seriously talking about how they can turn their scandals and shortcomings into cold hard cash,” an insider told RadarOnline. 

The insider claimed the duo has been holding regular meetings to strategize their next move.

“They’re a couple of calculating brats. Nothing is ever their fault, and they see nothing wrong with playing the victim if it means money in the bank,” they added. 

Kanye and Justin's friendship reportedly collapsed in 2022 after the 'Donda' hitmaker publicly attacked Hailey Bieber for defending Vogue editor Gabriella Karefa-Johnson, who had criticized Kanye's controversial "White Lives Matter" stunt.

Kanye had referred to Hailey as “nose job Hailey Baldloose,” causing Justin to cut ties with him.

Kanye West reportedly begged Justin Bieber for forgiveness

The 48-year-old has now reached out to Justin Bieber in an effort to make peace.  According to the publication, Kanye got over his pride and reached out to beg forgiveness from the 'Baby' singer, and they are now said to be tighter than ever.

According to the source, the two artists have bonded over feelings of betrayal and misrepresentation.

“They’ve been talking and texting about how misunderstood they are, trading stories about who's screwed them over and brainstorming ways to join forces to scratch each other’s backs,” they said.

Kanye West has convinced Justin Bieber that if they team up, they can milk enough from fans to be set for life

Justin Bieber got on board with Kanye West's plan amid his health and financial troubles. 

The 'Yummy' singer announced in June 2022 that he had been diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome, which left one side of his face paralyzed.

His canceled tour, financial losses, and fallout with former manager Scooter Braun have added to the pressure, the publication claims.

“It’s no secret that Justin needs money and everyone knows he hates touring,” said the insider.

“But West has convinced him that if they team up and tour, they can milk enough from fans to be set for life. And Justin seems to be on board," the source added.

Not everyone is convinced this team-up will work. “They are both so unstable, it’s bound to blow up at some point,” warned another source.
