Travis Scott shocked fans when he brought out Kanye West to perform some memorable hits during a concert in Tokorozawa, Japan, on Saturday (Nov. 8).

As part of his weekend-long Tokyo takeover, the Utopia rapper brought his Circus Maximus tour to Tokorozawa’s Belluna Dome, where he performed his notable material and brought out Ye.

A clip shared online shows Ye pulling off a mask to reveal himself to the crowd and launching into his 2007 song "Can't Tell Me Nothing."

Throughout the set, Scott, who's a producer on Ye's GOOD Music label, acted as hype man, helping the 24-time Grammy winner bring the energy as he rapped his 2000s hits.

Per a fan posts online, the songs Ye and Scott performed together included Runaway, Heartless, Flashing Lights, Stronger, and All of the Lights.

In October, during a show in Sydney, Scott teased that he and Ye would soon do "something special" just months after he raved about the Yeezy founder in a Complex cover story.

"Shit, man. That’s my kids' uncle," Scott said. "That guy took me in when I was young, when I was like 19. He taught me a lot about music. And not even just 'taught' me, but he allowed me to experience the creation of music."

Days before performing with Scott, Ye expressed wanting to "take accountability" for offensive remarks he made about the Jewish community in the past during a sit-down with Israeli Rabbi Yoshiayao Yosef Pinto.

Among Ye's most shocking antisemitic remarks were in support of German dictator Adolf Hitler; he also declared himself a Nazi.

“It’s a big deal for me as a man to come and take accountability for all the things that I’ve said and I really just appreciate you embracing me with open arms and allowing me to make amends," Ye told Pinto in the video below. "This is the beginning and the first steps and the first brick-by-brick to build back the strong walls."
