Kanye West set the internet on fire with his stream of tweets in which he called out his wife and her family, and while many people mocked him for his meltdown, his friend Dave Chappelle hopped on a jet to check up on him.

Kanye shared a video of himself with Dave Chappelle and others in Wyoming in which he challenged the comic to tell a joke, on the spot, to lift their spirits. “Uplifting joke?,” Chappelle said in the nearly two-minute clip. “You know I don’t write them.”

Kanye West described Chappelle as a God send and a true friend. Both stars have known each other, even before the rapper appeared on “The Chappelle Show” in 2003.

Like Kanye, Chappelle had to deal with rumours about his mental health after he walked away in 2004 from his hit Comedy Central series — and the $50-million deal that came with it — and disappeared to South Africa.

Now, the comic is doing much better, and he is standing with Kanye West, who apparently is going through a lot.
