Well, Kanye West is back it again. The GOOD Music founder and “fashion designer” is trending for a series of very controversial posts he put up on his Twitter page.
On Wednesday, April 25, Mr West declared his love and support for U.S. President Donald Trump in a series of tweets. Let’s take a look at the sequence of events.
You don’t have to agree with trump but the mob can’t make me not love him. 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.

Mr conceited had to “clarify” certain things after his wife called him.
my wife just called me and she wanted me to make this clear to everyone. I don’t agree with everything Trump does. I don’t agree 100% with anyone but myself.

Looks like “Make America Great Again” could also be one of his mantras. He got a signed cap.

You know “twitter fingers” could not also resist the temptation of not replying. He had to show him some love.

Biting more than he can chew? Mr West then called out ex-president Barack Obama for doing nothing for his home city of Chicago when he was in power.
Obama was in office for eight years and nothing in Chicago changed.

Take a look at a few reactions afterwards. Black Twitter also had a field day with some hilarious posts too.
a lot of people don’t know this but while Obama was in office he started the “my brothers keeper” program which was a mentorship program for at risk youth in urban areas like Chicago. my sister worked for it and it was the presidents pet project. Donald ended it his first day https://t.co/AdyIyT92zn

one of my favorite rappers is prepping their Pulitzer Prize speech. the other is relaxing after dominating the Coachella stage. the other is… well, I don’t know what Ghostface is doing. what is for sure is none of them are using their platforms to normalize modern fascism.

Y’all Lord & Savior, @kanyewest is now taking a meeting w/Peter Thiel, the man who say date rape was “regrettable seduction”, funded trump’s campaign, said multiculturalism stifles intellectual life, & said the South African apartheid system was a “sound economic system”. https://t.co/C5nbf9StaS

Keep in mind that Kanye West recently returned from a long Twitter hiatus after suffering a mental breakdown. Within this short period, he has announced release dates of some albums from his camp as well as update his over 27 million followers on other projects he is involved in and working on.
In between time, he has also shared his rather strange views on sensitive issues. Just a few days ago, he expressed support for black conservative activist, Candace Owens who slammed Black Lives Matter and African American protesters for being “whiners” and projecting the “victim mentality” instead of “victor mentality”.
Could his recent Twitter rants and questionable opinions be yet another carefully orchestrated publicity stunt to promote his projects or he is just speaking his mind?
