Fresh star stories with a cool online feel.

After being at odds over the remarks, the two eventually came together — thanks to rapper Nipsey Hussle, London's long-term partner who died in 2019. After Hussle and Rae formed their own friendship, he persuaded her to confront London directly at a birthday party for Diddy (via Complex).

"He was like, 'You should just talk to her. Let me set it up,'" she told Vanity Fair. "It actually sparked an amazing two-hour conversation. We had so much in common. She was like, 'People don't understand, I'm an awkward Black girl.' In the same way that I was upset about the limited portrayal of Black women, she was like, 'People do the same thing to me.' I completely get that."

Issa Rae now calls her comments about London one of her "biggest regrets" (via Vanity Fair).

Now that the two artists have put their issues behind them, maybe one day they will end up collaborating on a project after all.
