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.”

People need to boycott this Bastard and humble him. He is a disgrace to the good work his mom did when she was here.
You a mf coward, fam. YOU ARE THE DISGRACE! What kind of grown man would want to organize a boycott to prevent another grown man from getting money because he dislikes that mans political views? That’s the most coward shit I’ve heard in my life.
deleted my comment because you know am right hahaha
Kanye is WOKE. It’s a breathe of fresh air to see a brother go against the lamestream media and liberal establishment as a free thinker. The most revolutionary thing that a Black man can do in this age is to abandon a democratic party that abandoned him ages ago. He’s just given many other non liberal Blacks hope and made them not feel as ostracized by their community.
You fake ass russian troll farm idiot
It’s fine to choose your own party or the party you feel represents your values most and think for yourself. I choose not to affiliate with any party, that’s my choice. If being “WOKE” is being okay with someone who subjugates and ostracizes all minorities I’d rather be brain dead.
Now all of a sudden people are mad but all other days of the year y’all be dickriding Kanye
Fuck Yall
The college dropout really demonstrating his lack of education… smh
kanye is the biggest kook ever. the guy will literally do or say anything for attention and publicity when hes about to release a new project or clothing line
welcome to the world of marketing…
Interesting people in that pic. kanye is sorrounding himself with snakes. I woulden’t trust Lyor Cohen.
2005 Kanye West: Bush does not care about black people! 2018 Kanye West: I support one of the most racist administrations that America has ever seen! Look at my hat yall! I gave him a pass on wearing the confederate flag cause it was an attention grab and a flag doesn’t hurt people. But the Trump administration is a direct attack on minorities, the poor, women, and the list goes on. I get the counter culture gimmick but this goes beyond that. The Kanye stans and “free thinkers” will be drinking up all of the Cult #45 kool-aid smh…. I really wanted to listen to that new Nas album too…oh well.
The trump administration is a direct attack on minorities? racist administation? can you elaborate? I hear all these people saying Trump is racist, I just don’t see the connection.
If Kanye was an author, would you burn his books?
Damn i wish EAZY-E was still alive. Rap fell the fuck off after E died. People real simple nowadays.
Wrong!! Rap fell off once Tupac Died. Easy-E wasn’t the be all end all and secondly Tupac wrote all his shit can’t say the same for
Easy- E he is a Great in Hip Hop, Not a Legend in My opinion. As N.W.A he’s legend but solo no way.
Sounds like he’s rambling alot…
Oh shit some of y’all slave thinking mofo’s going to be mad after reading this lol
Maaaan…is that the only picture Kanye has with Trump? He makes it seem they’re all buddy buddy but I don’t think Trump has had Kanye around him much……makes Kanye look like he’s reaching for that attention and Trump is willing to give him the minimum to make himself look better with black folks
Fuck that dumbfuck mayate! Fuck your wall
blah blah blah blah $$$$ blah blah blah blah blah $$$$$ blah blah blah blah $$$$
Kanye West doesn’t care about black people.
Just like Meek Mill….these celebrities damn sure defend their own tooth and nail don’t they? THis little short fucker is actually trying to shift the argument from the fact Kanye looks like a punk bitch all up Trump ass….blacks being democrats have nothing to do with Kanye’s actions and he knows it BUT you see it’s not a “We all Black, We all One” thing….it’s a “We Rich, We stick together” thing. Just cause they black don mean they share your struggles, your problems, your views. Fuck’em
Be careful Ye, the far left can make it look like a drug overdose. They do not tolerate dissenting celebrities.
Buying those Yeezy’s basically means ur supporting a trump supporter… Remember that when they drop.. BOYCOTT him and his MUSIC. BoyCOTT waffle house too.. Starbucks hmmm they are making strides in the right direct.. So dont go back until its Christmas, just so they know.
Fuck the internet and the stench of cadaver it creates in the collective consciousness. Politics is music is culture is politics, but his political sympathies, his life (and his shitty music btw) is air. It’s really not about trump vs- hillary, politically correct liberals vs. xenophobic rednecks, and DEFINITELY not about the “free” west vs. China/Syria/Venezuela/Cuba/Russia (though especially the latter is a profitable stand to take in this media climate, even trump eventually got persuaded by his advisors to gradually shift into red scare-mode in spite of his business interests with gazprom or whoever, relations which requires a minimum level of diplomatic and rhetorical decency). It’s about the fuckin money, always the fuckin money, and the safeguarding of the continual expansion of the exploitation base; not to keep the wealth but to increase the rate by which it increases, which means producing, marketing and selling stuff or services to regular consumers & gain a steady profit aint enough, government contracts, speculation and 1st and foremost, military conflicts, follows naturally. Keeping people either scared of Putin or occupied by exhibiting their lives on the internet, or wallowing in excitement over or hatred of this or that degenerate celebrity. Tax money get ciphoned right into the fuel tank of the cancerous private sector, bank/industry/war monstertruck, when Obama did it he minded to divert the attention to something else, the liberal gender/race/charity/fairyland, when Trump does it he do it for the sake of american jobs (i.e. capitalists, who is expected to invest and hire more people as thank you but they don’t, that’s not how the market works and he knows it), same thing except his rhetorics is aimed at white trash and blue-collar majority who feels robbed of their future, and rightfully so, but it won’t help voting for a guy who proudly represents the ruling class who’ve fucked us, pissed all over us and the planet and made us pay for the pleasure of their company. Ten times as shameless since the soviet union fell, the counterweight imploded and the free market became the global law. Right now the 1% is winning all over the board. The bad guys are neither north koreans or mysterious kgb-assassin-spies-trolls-hackers-tea-poison-alchemists paid by Putin. That reality is limited to NCIS: LA. The bad guys are among us. Question the perspective they force on you, and the parameters by which you take stand. Kanye West is nothing. The best way to do damage to him, if a mammon-worshipping self-loving muzak-generating deflator, defacer and commodifier of hiphop culture admits to being republican surprises and offends you, is to turn your back on the whole fake discourse. Now I contribute to it myself by commenting this but wtf, the magnitude of buzz around what pointless idiots like him posts on twitter is ridiculous, had to get it out.
He’s trolling to build up hype for his new album & other projects
