Perhaps time does heal all wounds. According to E! News, Kanye West is set to perform and close the MTV Video Music Awards this Sunday.

Last year, after the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards, West vowed to never perform at the awards after being relegated to a small stage and shut out despite five nominations.

Now, West has appeared to have forgiven and forgotten and will join Britney Spears in the 25th anniversary edition of the VMAs. West’s decision to perform may be less about moving on and more about self-promotion as the rapper’s new single “Love Lockdown” is expected to be released on Monday.

Producers have confirmed Spears is opening the show but they are keeping mum about whether or not the pop star will perform.

Other singers set to perform or appear are Christina Aguilera, Jonas Brothers, Rihanna, T.I., Pink, Kid Rock, the Ting Tings, Lupe Fiasco, Lil Wayne and Katy Perry.
