LOL.

He lost something like 9 million followers on Twitter today, I think it was.

It'll be interesting to see how many he gets back later when he comes up with some other controversial thing to say.

More likely that not Kayne has new music coming. Kris Jener is very smart. She is a media and marketing expert. Stay tune for Keeping up with the Kardashians.

Trump and his Trump clan claim to not care about celebrity or Hollywood validation. But as soon as one celebrity speaks anything postive, they jump on it. They are hunger and thirsty.

I don't think the issue with Kayne is him jumping on the GOP bandwagon, it is the co sign of a lying, racist, homophobic, sexist and weak leader with no credibility. Yet everyone knows Kayne has erractic mental issues. That explains the Trump bandwagon. Good for John Legend and Angela Rye for speaking their truth on the matter but no slamming Kayne.

It’s all about the silent majority coming out of their cognitive dissonance.
someone like Kim or Kanye?

how odd to see folks praising Kim and Kanye.

these folks don't even vote..lol.

It doesn't matter who is president when you are worth $200 million dollars.

I'm surprised you didn't know that. So many Trump supporters were angry with anyone who supported Clinton, you'd think you'd have known that Kim K was a Clinton supporter. I would imagine she had something to do with her husband donating to the Clinton campaign, actually.
these people are hilarious.

I bet last year before Kanye melted down these folks couldn't stand this couple.. all a sudden they are good people who may "get it"

Tell that to the left who is clearly outraged that an influential minority supports Trump.

Not true.

Twitter confirmed to The FADER that he hadn't actually lost them. "We can confirm that Kanye's follower count is currently at approximately 27M followers," a spokesperson for Twitter wrote in an email. "Any fluctuation that people might be seeing is an inconsistency and should be resolved soon."

While Kanye West is free to say whatever he wants to, he's been known in the past to do crazy things as publicity stunts. Like running up on Stage for Taylor Swift's award moment and the whole "George Bush doesn't care about black people" statement.

Whether Kanye West truly supports Trump or just said what he said for attention and publicity, it is certainly working.

I'd still like to see the hypocrites on the left stop spazzing out about this. Don't attack him for his political views. Why must private citizens be attacked for their personal beliefs? Even though they tweet them out for the masses to see.

That's the point. The fact that a minority can garner attention simply by stating he's a conservative, tells your how messed up this country is.

If the country responded with a collective yawn, it wouldn't be a big deal. But everyone is losing their mind and the left is letting loose the name calling and slams against his sanity.

LO l-- I like how at first you pretend to be all open minded and then have to swing in a dig to the left.

But that's an amazing point.....the fact that both sides are responding to a Black man announcing allegiance to the Republicans tells you just how racist both sides are.

For me -- it isn't about him being black -- it's the hypocritical celebrity syndrome.

When a celebrity speaks out against or for a politician -- if folks agree with their opinion -- it is their right to free speech. If they don't -- then that celebrity has no right to share their views.

I don't take Kanye's rants with integrity -- for or against Trump.

I am guilty of saying he is crazy...and that seems to mock maybe a serious issue with mental illness.

I didn't mean to suggest that. I meant crazy like I think Ted Nugent says crazy things.....that kind of thing. Kanye has always had a tendency to be out there....(I don't mean mentally). (for the record -- Rosie O'Donnell says outrageous things and hates Trump -- I don't respect her views or take what she says as having integrity).

I feel bad now because some think the way he was ranting he is maybe on the brink of having another breakdown. I didn't think so. i thought he was coming out of it and just getting out there -- doing what he does - -saying and doing outrageous things.

I thought he was just being the old Kaney before his breakdown.

He was in a selfie with Hillary Clinton in 2015 and donated to her 2016 campaign, even though he doesn't vote.

Kanye is a Kanye guy.

He is, however, far more interesting than Nugent or Chachi.

Oh, Kanye definitely is about to try to sell something and I totally agree with you on why Kanye's seemingly blanket support of Trump is troubling so many people.


That text message posting exchange between Kanye and John was funny, though.
