Today was the day for President Trumps long awaited lunch with rapper, Kanye West.
Trump allowed Kanye to steal the show, saying barely a word during their 25 minute conversation alongside former NFL player, Jim Brown. The conversation was broadcasted live, allowing viewers to share their comments as they watched Kanye rant about a number of controversial issues.
During the conversation Kanye talked about topics revolving around the black community, mental health, stop and frisk, gun control, and his future plans to run for president. The rapper stated that stop and frisk was something many people told him to bring up following the claims President Trump made earlier in the week stating, Chicago should strongly consider implementing a stop-and-frisk program. Similar to the one that was enforced in New York City. West explained that implementing this would be detrimental for the relationships in the city of Chicago. In response, Trump stated that he was very open-minded to having a conversation about it.
West also touches on his support of the President and how wearing the MAGA hat makes him feel like superman. This is something that has been baffling for a lot of people considering the Presidents racist tendencies and comments. The rapper expresses that the use of again doesn’t correlate to the times of slavery for him, but instead correlates to today and living in the now. The rapper expressed that “when I said I like Trump to like someone who is a liberal, they’ll say, ‘Oh, but he’s racist.’ You think racism can control me? Oh, that don’t stop me. That’s an invisible wall.”
Since the live broadcast, celebrities have come out to express their views on the conversation, one of which being rapper T.I. T.I. expressed his frustration with his former friend in a long Instagram post, explaining that when Kanye originally asked him to attend this same meeting, naturally T.I. said no.
I don’t know about any of you, but I for one am very tired of the Kanye show and his outlandish attempts to remain relevant.
