Reunited! Rap mogul Jay-Z (L) and Coldplay frontman Chris Martin (R) took their bromance to celeb-favorite strip mall omakase, Sushi Park, in West Hollywood on Tuesday night

There’s been 1.2M confirmed COVID-19 cases leading to 24K deaths in the city, but LA County is currently in the least-restrictive yellow tier.

Back in 2017, the 23-time Grammy winner called Chris a ‘genius’ and a ‘modern day Shakespeare’ while discussing their friendship.

‘We are good friends – but what I got to say has nothing to do with our friendship,’ Jay told Metro’s Guilty Pleasures.

‘I have been in the industry long enough to know when I’m in the presence of a genius and Chris Martin is just that. In years to come, Britain will look back at him as a modern day Shakespeare.

‘We are good friends’: The Brooklyn-born 51-year-old (L) and the 44-year-old Englishman (R) – who’ve been friends as far back as 2003 – looked thick as thieves chatting on the second floor balcony

Better safe than sorry: Jay-Z (born Shawn Carter) was holding some kind of art piece covered in bubble wrap, and both men wore face masks despite the CDC’s new guidelines to only do so indoors or in crowds

‘He is an incredible recording artist, an incredible songwriter, but where he really comes alive is performing live. If you get the chance to see Coldplay live, do it – you ain’t gonna regret it.’

The high-rolling hip-hop star enlisted Martin to provide guest vocals on his 2006 track Beach Chair and his 2010 track Most Kingz.

Jay-Z famously invited the seven-time Grammy winner and his then-wife Gwyneth Paltrow to his intimate 2008 wedding to Beyoncé Knowles.

The 48-year-old Oscar winner considers Jay and Bey a part of her ‘mishpocheh’ (a Yiddish word for ‘your gang, your family’) and their two children call them ‘Uncle Jay’ and ‘Auntie B.’
