Not so long ago it seemed President Trump (President-elect, as it were then) had a supporter in the form of Kanye West.
West took plenty of flak for meeting up with Trump at his imaginatively named Trump Tower in New York and later explained via tweet that his intention had been to meet ‘to discuss multicultural issues’.
‘I feel it is important to have a direct line of communication with our future President if we truly want change,’ he’d tweeted, also fuelling speculation that he fancied himself as a future Leader of the Free World by adding ‘#2024’ in a separate tweet.
Now though, it appears Kanye’s Trump-related tweets have been deleted. A quick scan through his Twitter feed reveals they’re nowhere to be seen with reports also surfacing that the rapper is not too impressed by Trump’s early weeks in the Oval Office.
TMZ report that West has has broken ties with the president, with a source telling them that his recent attempts to ban Muslims from entering the country along with other events prompting Kanye to withdraw his support for him.
We can safely assume this won’t be the last we hear about this particularly story. We’ll be keeping an eye on @realDonaldTrump’s Twitter account in the days ahead.
