Kanye West has just withdrawn all his pro-Trump tweets which he tweeted in support of the new president right before his inauguration.
Yesterday, discerning fans discovered that the rap guru has deleted the tweets he made of the president after their controversial meeting in December.
Recall that ‘Ye met with Trump at Trump Tower in December, and following clapback from friends like John Legend, he explained that they he only wanted to discuss ‘multicultural issues’ with the then president-elect.
“I wanted to meet with Trump today to discuss multicultural issues,” West had tweeted on December 13, adding, “These issues included bullying, supporting teachers, modernizing curriculums, and violence in Chicago.”
“I feel it is important to have a direct line of communication with our future President if we truly want change,” he concluded.
Kanye West was however not moved by the intense criticisms from many of his fans. In fact, he returned the next day to tweet a copy of the TIME Magazine’s “Person of the Year” Trump autographed for him. “To Kanye You are a great friend Thanks,” Trump wrote on the cover of the magazine, followed by his signature.
He also deleted the pictures taken with the new president.
So, what changed? TMZ says it is because of the Muslim ban. Many fans think the rapper finally realised how dumb it is to support a bigot.
While the rapper is yet to make an official statement on this, another rapper – Drake – did not bother to skater around the topic; the Canadian star flipped the bird at the president.
“Every day I wake up and see all this bullsh– going in the world, people trying to tear us apart, people trying to make us turn against each other,” he said. “My proudest moment — take a look around at this room, you’ll people from all races and all places.”
Drake continued his rousing speech by targeting Trump. “If you think one man can tear this world apart, you’re out of your motherf—ing mind. It’s on us to keep this sh– together. F— that man.”
