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.

These people doing exactly what Kanye wants. There is a method to this madness.
Im not a Trump supporter (nor into politics in general) but this gotta stop… People need to focus on the good music (no pun intended) rather than his views…
Kanye please get off your knees!
Kanye is WOKE now. And the mentally enslaved in the Black community (liberals) are showing how closed minded and bigoted they are by demonizing him for not being a stereotypical black guy who gets all his opinions from Democrats. I’m glad Kanye is going against the grain. He’s speaking many of the truths that non liberal Blacks are scared to speak, for fear of being shamed by their community. He’s giving black independents the courage to be themselves.
What you speak is actually in reverse
You don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about. The President is a racist pig who has time after time demonstrated his white supremacist tendencies and his disdain for minorities. Kanye is a dumb confused mayate, end of story
“So you’re telling me that Kanye said something controversial in the weeks before releasing a flurry of albums? I’m no psychologist, but he’s clearly mentally unhinged and requires attention in a psychiatric ward”
God some people are simple.
Kanye is doing everything right, by the way, Trump is the greatest thing to happen to our country in a long time, but the deep state controlled media is doing everything to turn public opinion against him so he can’t take their power away and put it back in the peoples’ hands. The people who don’t see that are the ones who have yet to break through the social engineering.
Heres the thing. Kanye west as his opinions like everyone else. You don’t have to like it . But just because he’s black it doesn’t mean he has to lean a certain direction. We are all individuals and at some point people have to learn to respect that.
If you look to actors, musicians, and sports stars for their opinions, and hinge YOUR opinions on that they think… then you’re dumb. Michael Jackson probably dropped a digit on some kids… but I still love ‘Off the Wall’… Floyd beats women, but he was still a master in the ring… Kanye has different political views than I do… but I’m still gonna listen to whatever he releases.
*what
At least he has his own opinion unlike all these cowardly fucks in Hip Hop who blindly worshipped Obama while he drone bombed innocent children daily for 8 years because his family had vested interests in the drone manufacturers, or how he did zero to enact gun control for 8 years but now is tweeting lies about how he “stands behind the brave children protesting.”
The same cowards who don’t speak out against the bigotry spewed by Lord jamar, Talib Kweli or Q-Tip etc but expect “white” people to stand up and speak out against bigotry towards “black” people the fucking morons.
Hip Hop in 2018 is full of shit, and corny cowards and yes men terrified of saying anything negative about other black people because they’ve been socially conditioned to believe their skin defines them.
All Kanye West is doing is expressing his right to free expression. all I wish is for him to also at the same time use his celebrity status and money to help build communities around LA and Chicago and help put poor people to work! Also he may use Trump to put more funding in poor neighborhoods. I rather for him to be the forefront than someone who does not have a voice. We need more celebrities who are afraid to support Trump if it means for us as the poor to have better opportunities. Somebody has to step up in the Black Community instead of having more meetings in places where the Democratic Party as well as the other Black Elites are sucking up all the resources and not giving a Dam about the rest of us. My question is where is Obama, Oprah, Mayweather, and other Rich celebrities at!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There is no concrete evidence that Trump is a racist. Just because social media and CNN/MSNBC/Hollywood thinks he’s racist doesn’t make it so. Enforcing immigration law, and giving tax breaks to the middle class isn’t racism. Real racism is a democratic party that tells people of color that they’re too incompetent to survive without welfare.
Nothing to see here just a troll at work. Do not respond.
Yes because anyone who has an opposing view to yours must be a troll. FOH child.
You do realize Obama deported the most immigrants of any recent president right..? So your point about Trump getting flak just bc he is “deporting immigrants” isn’t entirely invalid.
Only a closed minded liberal would not be able to see why someone would like the POTUS. He’s caused an economic boom that has benefited American workers. 2.5 million jobs created this year already, due to his policies. Massively successful tax reform. He destroyed ISIS in one year, when Obama couldn’t do it in 4. He’s gotten illegal immigration levels down to historic lows. That’s just a small sample size. But to effeminate minded Democrats he’s no good because he “says mean things”.
Uncle Ruckus is a funny dude honestly.
Kanye didn’t even vote for Trump & most of Hip Hop don’t even vote…
J. Cole was right in his diss song False prophets about Donald ye west. now he unfavorably has lost his freaking mind.
I see no thing here, but trolls and bots… Probably Putin’s… bugs will bug until they bug no more…be patient, stay cool… until it’s time to swat some flies…
Low IQ libtards think everyone is a Russian troll. Sorry, but if you actually left your ideological bubble you’d realize that all Blacks are not Democrats. About 10 percent of Blacks and 30 percent of Hispanics voted for Trump. Which wasan increase from Romney in 2012. The real trolls are the idiots trying to put all people of color in the same box. The “Russians stole the election” is nothing but a Red Scare cold war conspiracy theory used to deflect the historic collapse of the DNC.
Can tell your a white boy trying to defend an asshole, to support this jack ass is spitting in the faces of all who took the beatings hangings in Selma. Kanye house boy for Trump has never respected the fallen fighting for human rights. I’m not black but Native Indigenous, trail of tears! Makato Minn. Mass hanging ring a bell,now standing Rock. Kiss my ass Kanye. You missed the action you never felt the whip new wave bitch,! Respect your elders MF,! You could have what you have without the pain of your forefather’s blood. If you were in the joint with me you’d be my bunk muffin homes, your just entertainment, I’m a pipe fitter welder making fuel flow,! Would rap make it flow bitch. Power to the people mother fucker , fuck Trump!
