Bon Iver frontman Justin Vernon and Kanye West have great chemistry as collaborators, but it appears their political differences have affected their relationship. In an interview with Pitchfork, Vernon revealed Yeezy’s affinity for Donald Trump has changed their dynamic.
“I can’t really kick it with him anymore on a personal level, just the energy,” the Grammy-winning artist said. “But I’ve got mad love for him, and we’re still friends.”
According to Vernon, he’s more politically aligned with progressive presidential candidates such as Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders. He’s even planning ahead for October 2020, aiming to schedule a Bon Iver tour in the battle state of Wisconsin in an effort to support whoever secures the Democratic nomination.
Vernon began collaborating with Kanye on 2010’s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. The two continued working together over the years, including Vernon contributing vocals to multiple tracks on 2013’s Yeezus.
Most recently, Vernon was part of the creative team behind Kanye’s 2018 albums Ye and Kids See Ghosts.

To be honest dawg I ain’t feelin ya energy. Real friends.
This site constantly posts anti Trump shit. Zzzzzzzzz
Shut the fuck up
You mad? We come here to listen to hiphop… Or so I thought. It seems hiphop fans just want petty gossip in 2019, including yourself, who gets offended when confronted with truth.
LOL triggered are we
Can’t be close with someone because they have a different opinion. That’s liberals for you.
Funny how you don’t see the irony in your statement.
Sean hannity made that up on fox t.v. Alt-right, far right or conservative ……code for racist. Donald trump can’t stop progress. This country was started by people of color. In the future, white people will be the minorities.
Most conservatives don’t have minority friends. They have so called “work” friends that are minorities.
I personally didn’t vote Trump but I respect other people’s choices to support who THEY want to support. That’s what a democracy is. This bullshit of bashing people who have a different opinion than you and having to be SUPER SUPER over the top politically correct all the time is just snowflake fascism. This is type of shit that is driving left leaning voters into the hands of those far right lunatics.
Lol you said you respect them, then called them lunatics. No. You don’t respect people. Your full of hatred as well. Have fun the next 10 years, because 20204 is ours as well as 2020.
He said “far right lunatics”. Reading comprehension is not your strong suit. Good luck in 20204!
Giving up on 2020 so soon? 2024 is the year for DESANTIS!
Hey you fucking imbecile. I said FAR RIGHT lunatics. What I respect is everybody’s freedom to make a choice on who they vote for and what political party they support…..even if I don’t agree with them. You sound like a complete retard btw. Do you even know how to read properly?
Far right is anyone who supports 2007 Obama Era policy in 2019 lol.
Kanye sucks now.
Yeezus Ye and Kids See Ghosts was trash
KSG was Fire.
