Kanye West isn’t backing down from his support of Donald Trump.
The G.O.O.D. Music founder’s Twitter spree continued on Wednesday (April 25), affirming his love for Trump and addressing a recent report about West cutting ties with his management.
“You don’t have to agree with trump but the mob can’t make me not love him,” he tweeted. “We are both dragon energy. He is my brother. I love everyone. I don’t agree with everything anyone does. That’s what makes us individuals. And we have the right to independent thought.
“If your friend jumps off the bridge you don’t have to do the same. Ye being Ye is a fight for you to be you. For people In my life the idea of Trump is pretty much a 50 50 split but I don’t tell a Hillary supporter not to support Hillary
I love Hillary too.”

He continued, “I love when people have their own ideas. You don’t have to be allowed anymore. Just be. Love who you want to love. That’s free thought. I’m not even political. I’m not a democrat or a republican. And also I’m all the way out the sunken place. And I’m not scared anymore. I’m not scared of the media. I’m not scared of the past and I’m optimistic about the future. This tweet is in love not fear.”
Later in the day, the music superstar tried to clarify his aligning with Trump — thanks to prompting from his wife, Kim Kardashian-West.
“My wife just called me and she wanted me to make this clear to everyone,” he noted. “I don’t agree with everything Trump does. I don’t agree 100% with anyone but myself.”

Early on in West’s latest string of tweets, he took aim at TMZ’s report about him splitting with management. Although he took exception with being called “erratic,” ‘Ye largely confirm much of the reporting.
“I no longer have a manager,” he wrote. “I can’t be managed. I’m nobody’s ‘client.’ yes I got rid of my last lawyer why? Because he wouldn’t come to work full time. I also asked my last manager to come work full time for Yeezy of course the last lawyer and manager said no. So now I hired a CEO and a CFO and i have two full time lawyers as of now.”
He added, “We have 160 positions to fill by the end of the year. Yeezy will hit a billion dollars this year. It is the 2nd fastest growing company in history. It is a unicorn on its way to becoming a decacorn.”
West also boasted about his Yeezy brand.

“I am currently the single highest paid person in footwear,” he said. “That means I make more money on shoes than Michael Jordan. there’s been a lot of fake news so I just wanted to give you the facts. Yeezy will become the biggest apparel company in human history by working with the most genius level talents and creating product at an affordable price. I hired the head of supply chain from the Gap. We will reach the prices I’ve promised.”
After declaring himself “this generation’s Ford Hughes Jobs Disney,” West directed a message to TMZ founder Harvey Levin.
“Harvey Levin of TMZ your hearing from your future president,” he wrote. “Let’s be friends. Please never use the word erratic to describe a person who is economically and psychologically empowered.”
West claimed he’s not afraid of any negative reaction to his tweets. He referred to himself as a free thinker and joked again about the “sunken place” from the hit film Get Out.

“I’m used to the heat of independent thoughts,” he said. “Free thinkers don’t fear retaliation for your thoughts. The traditional thinkers are only using thoughts and words but they are in a mental prison. You are free. You’ve already won. Feel energized. Move in love not fear. Be afraid of nothing.”
