Kanye West Silent After Months Of Supporting Trump – Buyers Remorse? (TWEETS/VIDEO)

Kanye West is a decisive figure in American culture. Even those who are fans of the hip hop superstar’s music may not necessarily be a big fan of the man himself. More than a few eyebrows raised when West visited then President-elect Donald Trump in New York City.

West’s support of President Trump might have be a surprise to some, but consider the sources. Donald Trump’s ego may be matched only by West’s, as neither man has any hint of a reputation for humility. Mutual admiration may be the key term there.

Concerning the meeting, West tweeted on December 13:

Many of Kanye’s fans and friends were incensed. Yet West seemed unfazed, tweeting Trump’s “Person of the Year” TIME Magazine special, complete with autograph and personal message.

And this weekend, all of these Tweets mysteriously disappeared. How curious.

Did the pressure get to West? He was hospitalized late last year after a bizarre rant at a California concert that included the infamous quote:

“I told y’all I didn’t vote, right? But if I would’ve voted, I would’ve voted for Trump.”

A source close to West tried to smooth over his meeting with and defense of Trump to CNN:

“Finding ways to effect change for that particular issue has been heavy on Kanye’s mind for years and he has been talking about it more often most recently with family and friends. His hope is that he will be able to keep this issue fresh on the mind of the Trump administration and they will make making Chicago safe again a priority.”

The kicker in the whole story is Kanye’s producer credit on a track by Long Island rapper King Myers.

Myers is a new signing to West’s music label and the song is thoroughly anti-Trump, with lyrics supporting immigrants, refugees, and calling for Trump’s impeachment.

The love affair of titanic egos is over, it seems.
