Kanye West had an “awkward” moment with “dear friend” Deon Cole onstage at his comedy show Friday night.
While the “Grown-ish” actor was wrapping his set at the Hollywood Improv, he asked the rapper — who attended the show with his wife, Bianca Censori, and music exec John Monopoly — to come onstage.
“Go on and give it up for a dear friend. Thank you for coming out, dog. You had a good time tonight?” Cole asked West, who simply nodded.
“Did you laugh? Like, not no fake laugh. … You wouldn’t give me no sympathy laugh?” the comedian asked the dad of four, who only laughed and shook his head.
“You was, like, busting the f–k up? Why your body language ain’t showing bust the f–k up body language? You up there like, ‘Hmm. Yeah,’” Cole quipped.
The “Black-ish” alum, 53, then told West, 48, that he appreciated him coming out to the show.
When the Grammy winner continued to stand there silently, Cole joked they were having a “good, healthy conversation.”
The “Average Joe” star then asked West if he had any forthcoming projects audience members should be “looking out for,” to which the Yeezy founder replied, “New album coming out.”
Cole then joked that he would like to be featured on an interlude on West’s new album, also asking whether he could be sent a care package of clothing.
Cole shared a video of the moment via Instagram, with fans labeling the back and forth “AWKWARD AF.”
“lol man.. awkward meets awkward! It’s sumn in the Chicago pop! Lol,” one social media user wrote,” with another quipping, “Kanye acting like the slow cousin.”
A third netizen commented, “You definitely put him on the spot. He probably has social anxiety or sumn.”
“That was awkward as hell,” wrote a fourth fan.
Two days prior, West and Censori, 30, enjoyed a Christmas Eve date night to see a performance of “The Nutcracker” ballet in Los Angeles.
TMZ reported that the duo, who tied the knot in 2022, kept a low profile throughout the show.
On Sunday, the pair brought West’s son Saint, 10, and daughter Chicago, 7, to Disneyland’s California Adventure.
