In a statement to the venue, West said, 'I Believe This Event Will Not Only Bring Awareness to Our Cause but Prove to People Everywhere How Much More We Can Accomplish When We Lay Our Pride Aside and Come Together.'

West has past sought to free Hoover, the founder of Chicago's Gangster Disciples street gang who in 1973 received a life sentence in prison following a murder conviction. Hoover was subsequently sentenced to six additional life sentences in 1997 after he was found guilty in connection with ongoing gang involvement.

West collaborated with Hoover's son, Larry Hoover Jr. on the song Jesus Lord earlier this year, in which Hoover Jr. showed his gratitude for West's continued efforts.

In his October 11, 2018 meeting with former President Donald Trump in the Oval Office, West lobbied the president to free Hoover 'because he started doing positive for the community' in Chicago.

'It’s very important for me to get Hoover out because in an alternate universe, I am him and I have to go and get him free,' he said at the time.

This past July, a federal judge denied a motion to grant Hoover, 70, an abridged sentence under the FIRST STEP Act, a law that grants prisoners sentence leniency based on good behavior and training for a job.

West was seen a day before Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson put on a passionate display as their confirmed new romance heats up. The loved-up couple were spotted giggling like lovestruck teenagers as they stepped out for a romantic date night at the fancy Italian restaurant Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica, California, on Sunday night.

However, it looked as though Kim, 41, and Pete, 28, had enjoyed a very amorous evening together as the SNL funnyman sported what appeared to be a hickey on his neck.

The love bite was clearly visible as he lead Kim to his Lamborghini SUV where they both descended into fits of laughter, and they made their way home together. 

Their rumored relationship was confirmed last week when DailyMail.com published exclusive photos of the pair holding hands in Palm Springs, in a bold public display of affection. 

Sources also confirmed to DailyMail.com that the pair are now officially an item.  

Pete had visited Kim in the desert for just 24 hours to celebrate his birthday with the star at her momager Kris Jenner's $12m compound.

But by this weekend the pair were back in each other's company proving that their new relationship is going from strength to strength.

The two arrived together for dinner in his vehicle and were escorted by their body guard into a private room of the restaurant. 

As they were leaving, the couple continued packing on the PDA as they were seen holding hands. 

Pete was the perfect gentleman as he opened the door for Kim, who was dressed to the nines in a tight-fitting leather skirt, matching gloves, black baseball cap and a pair of Balenciaga shades.

The hot new couple then couldn't stop giggling together once inside their car.

Although Pete is used to dating famous women, he seemed flustered at the amount of attention surrounding them both as he pulled a series of faces looking bemused. As for Kim, the Hulu reality star has never looked happier. 

It is the first romantic partner for the reality star since she filed for divorce from estranged husband Kanye West in February this year.

Kanye, 44, who has now legally changed his name to Ye, was briefly linked to model Irina Shayk in June before seemingly going public with Instagram model Vinetria, 22. 

Meanwhile, Pete has previously been romantically involved with a slew of celebrities including Bridgerton star Phoebe Dynevor, Kate Beckinsale, and his former fiancé Ariana Grande. 

Ariana once famously gave Pete a very naughty reputation by commenting on the size of his manhood in a Twitter exchange, which popularized the phrase 'big d**k energy' or 'BDE.'

A source close to Kim exclusively told DailyMail.com recently that Pete is 'very aggressive' with her as he often 'grabs her waist, compliments her butt and touches her hair' when they are together.

'He is extremely sexual and in her face. He is making it crystal clear he likes her,' the confidant said. 

Judging by Pete's hickey on his neck, it would seem that the feeling is mutual. 

That smiles says it all: It appears that love is in the air for the couple, who got close this year appearing on SNL

'He definitely is not being aloof or playing coy, he is just going for it. And she seems to be loving the attention. It's nice to see her happy.'

Rumors of a possible romance were first sparked when the two kissed during an early October SNL skit as she played Princess Jasmine and he portrayed Aladdin, and while initial reports claimed they are just friends, fans believed something more significant was brewing.

Weeks later, she was spotted at Knott's Berry Farm in Buena Park, California for the theme park's annual Halloween event with a group of friends, including Pete, her sister Kourtney and Kourtney's new fiancé, Travis Barker.

Pete and Kim reportedly enjoyed a private rooftop dinner at Campania in Staten Island earlier this month, followed by a group outing at club Zero Bond the following night.

The couple were said to have been alone the entire time with private security standing outside.   

Pete — whose exes also include Margaret Qualley and Kaia Gerber — made light of the dating rumors while promoting his new show, The Freak Brothers, on Late Night with Seth Meyers earlier this month.

'I want to address something. I feel like I want to confirm if it's real,' Seth said, referring to his various sightings with Kim.

Cutting in, Pete joked: 'There's a lot of people I walk by, people are like whispering, and, you know, making eyes at me. And, you know, but it is true. I do have a show on Tubi coming out.' 

Kim — who shared four children North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm with Kanye — is now gearing up to film her family's new reality show for Hulu. 

It is currently unclear if Pete will also be making an appearance on the new show.

A look back at Kim Kardashian's love life

As the reality star is linked to SNL funnyman Pete Davidson, DailyMail.com takes a look back at Kim Kardashian's relationship history and her celebrity romances.

Damon Thomas (2000-2004)

At just 19, the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star married producer Damon Thomas, who is ten years her senior. Their short-lived marriage only three years before she filed for divorce, which she later revealed to be quite turbulent as he allegedly subjected her to physical abuse. 

 The KKW Beauty mogul, who admitted to being high on ecstasy when they eloped during a chat with Scott Disick back on her reality show in 2018, claimed in divorce papers he 'punched' her, to which he has denied. 

She also accused him of slamming her against a wall and throwing 'throw her across the room, leaving her bruised and battered.' Additionally, he reportedly made her quit her job, according to their divorce papers, which were filed at Los Angeles Superior Court back in 2003.

Ray J (2003 to 2006) 

Just one year after her divorce, she began a relationship with singer Ray J after working as a stylist for his sister. While the pair's relationship only spanned less than three years, it remains one of her most notable romances as a sex tape of them leaked, which propelled her to stardom.

Despite never initially suing Vivid Entertainment to prevent its release, they came to an agreement and settled for a 'financial arrangement' the company's co-chairman told TMZ, at the time. 

While the former couple have rarely spoken about their relationship, Ray J described Kim as 'the same kind of player' as him and they they 'were both cheaters' on Celebrity Big Brother in 2017.

 Nick Lachey (2006) 

Next, she began seeing Nick Lachey, who stated in 2019 they were never serious. While speaking of their 'one date together' to watch The Da Vinci Code in 2006, the ex-husband of Jessica Simpson said calling her an ex of his would be 'a little bit of a liberal use of the term.'

'She left about halfway through and went to the restroom and then shockingly there were 25 paparazzi when we left the theater,' he said on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen. I 'think there were other things in play on our little rendezvous.'

 Regardless, he said Kim couldn't have been 'a nicer girl' and they had a 'great time.'

Kim Kardashian and Nick Cannon (2006 to 2007)

Despite describing the mother-of-four as 'one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet,' they ended things over a discussion about her sex tape, which he claims Kim denied entirely. 

During an interview on The Howard Stern Show, the ex-husband of Mariah Carey said: 'This was my issue. We talked about this tape…And she told me there was no tape.'

'The fact that she lied and told me that there was no tape?' he said was his deal-breaker. ''I still think she might have even had a part to play with [its release].'

Reggie Bush (2007 to 2010)

Kim and the NFL star were on-and-off from 2007 until 2010, as her fame rose on Keeping Up With the Kardashians. Despite a promising romance, they ultimately parted ways because they weren't able to spend enough time together.

Toward the end of their relationship, he made the decision as Kim began 'pushing for marriage' after seeing younger sister tie the knot with then-husband Lamar Odom, according to RadarOnline.com.

At the time, he reportedly told her that he wants a wife 'that is a support system to him' and 'stay at home mom to his children.' Knowing her 'drive and ambition,' Bush knew she was  'just not the right kind of girl for him to marry.'

Miles Austin (June 2010)

Most of their relationship was spent apart due to his schedule with the Dallas Cowboys and hers to filming KUWTK. By September, they mutally went 'their separate ways,' according to People.
