After being forced to deny rumors he'd been booted out of the Super Bowl stadium by Taylor Swift, Kanye West is now said to have met a frosty reception from former pal Leonardo DiCaprio at the game.
Of course, the action on the field of play is meant to the main event at the Super Bowl, though the halftime show and the celebrities in attendance certainly make headlines.
One of the many famous faces in attendance in Las Vegas was West, or Ye as he is known nowadays.

To say that West has been in the headlines in the last year is an understatement, and that certainly didn't slow down at the Super Bowl.
First of all, reports emerged that West had been 'kicked out' of the Super Bowl by Taylor Swift after the pair had been engulfed in a feud for many years.
However, the rapper has since come out and denied reports he was forced to leave the stadium because of the singer.
"This is a completely fabricated rumor. It is not true," a representative for West told TMZ.
While there may be no conflict with Swift, sources close to West have claimed he did not exactly have a warm encounter with DiCaprio.
The pair have been spotted hanging out together over the years, leading to many believing they had a close bond.
In fact, West even performed at DiCaprio’s birthday party bash in the past, though a lot has seemingly changed since then.
And when DiCaprio won an Oscar in 2016 for his role in Revenant, West was evidentially happy.
"Finally!!! Our guy!!! We’re so so happy for Leo!!!" he tweeted at the time.
All does not appear well with the former friends now though after an apparently awkward encounter at the Super Bowl.
DiCaprio and West were apparently both in fast food chain Raising Cane's suite at one stage during the game.
One source told Page Six that DiCaprio and West exchanged nods and nothing else. However, that doesn't even seem to be the case.
"There was no interaction whatsoever," a different source later told the outlet.
UNILAD has reached out to DiCaprio's and West's representatives for comment.
As for DiCaprio, his Super Bowl was certainly a strange one after he was roasted by SpongeBob for his dating history.
