Kanye West’s constant Twitter presence reached a critical moment on Wednesday (April 25) when he professed his love and support for Donald Trump. The G.O.O.D. Music founder angered many followers with his views (to the delight of right-wingers) and trolled critics by proudly brandishing Trump’s “Make America Great Again” hat on social media.
Twitter has been filled with hot takes and opinions about West’s antics ever since. Some artists close to Yeezy, such as Chance The Rapper and CyHI The Prynce, have tried to defend him. Fellow Chicago natives GLC and Jean Deaux have denounced him, contemporary stars, such as J. Cole and Jaden Smith, have expressed disappointment and legends like Ice-T are completely baffled by West’s actions.
Check out some of Hip Hop’s reactions to pro-Trump ‘Ye below.

Chicago never *needed* Kanye, we jus loved him and were proud of him like any city would be lmao. We were sad when he basically stopped repping us/caring about his roots instead of just rapping about it. Now that nigga wayyy past any type of sympathy. Big Buford
