Kanye West is no stranger to controversy. After Hurricane Katrina, Kayne went on live TV to tell the world that President Bush didn’t care about black people. At the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, he ruined Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech by jumping on stage and telling the world that Beyoncé should have won. Now, Kanye is stirring up the most controversy yet by telling the world he likes President Trump. Here is the tweet to prove it: 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...

Following a tweet storm during which he vocalized support for Donald Trump, celebrities have started unfollowing Kanye West on Twitter. Not exactly shocking. Pop Crave reports that Justin Bieber, BTS, The Weeknd, Rihanna, Ariana Grande, Harry Styles, Katy Perry, Nicki Minaj, and Kendrick Lamar are among the musicians who have unfollowed the rapper in the wake of his comments, which YIKES. A quick perusal also indicates that John Legend isn't following Kanye, nor is Chrissy Teigen, Khloé Kardashian, or Kylie Jenner (though it's possible this has nothing to do with his recent tweets). While a few celebs have supported Kanye...

Celebrated pop singer Macy Gray appeared to respond to Kanye West’s recent embrace of President Donald Trump on Thursday by wearing her own ‘Make Kanye Great Again’ cap. The Grammy Award-winning singer posted the caption-less photo to her Instagram account — the post was met with overwhelming praise.

Kanye West‘s recent tweets praising Donald Trump have caused controversy online, with many of the rapper’s music peers speaking out about their thoughts on the matter. On Twitter over the past few days, Kanye has said that he “loves” Trump, called the US President his “brother”, shared a photo of himself wearing a ‘Make America Great Again’ hat and hit out at Barack Obama. Trump himself has responded by thanking West and saying that his recent Twitter activity had been “very cool”.

The single biggest threat to the future of the Dem party would be if African-Americans abandoned their overwhelming support for Dem candidates. It’s bad enough, from the Dem perspective, that under President Trump black unemployment has hit record lows. Now comes a major black celebrity openly embracing Trump. He must be destroyed!And so it was that on CNN this morning, Chris Cuomo did his best to undermine Kanye West and his support for the President. Cuomo first depicted West’s endorsement as a publicity stunt by a celebrity “desperate for attention.” Cuomo then took things an ugly step further, suggesting that...

Kanye West has been keeping his Twitter fingers very busy in the past few weeks, and today is no exception. Just in the past few hours, Kanye has publicly confirmed that he parted ways with his manager Scooter Braun, declaring he “can’t be managed” and is “nobody’s client”, announced new music with Travis Scott, Lil Uzi Vert, and ASAP Rocky, and showed a cryptic interest in a 2024 presidential run. Kanye’s tweets have proved to be wildly popular, but there’s one person out of the thousands of repliers and retweeters who he will probably have to pay more attention to:...

Kanye West canceled 21 tour dates in 2016 after suffering a “nervous breakdown,” but there are new fears for his health after he abruptly fired manager Scooter Braun and a “friend” claimed West had been addicted to opioids. On Monday, Hot 97 host Ebro Darden told listeners that he had spoken with West this weekend, and West allegedly told him, “Nobody really showed love for me when I was addicted to opioids and in the hospital.” If West had actually canceled the tour due to drug use, it could have legal ramifications. The rapper filed a 2017 $10 million lawsuit...

Kanye West doubled down on his affection for President Trump in a tweet posted Wednesday afternoon, saying “he is my brother.” “You don’t have to agree with trump but the mob can’t make me not love him,” the rapper said. “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.” Over the weekend, Kanye tweeted that he liked the way right-leaning YouTuber Candace Owens thinks — prompting the left to lose its collective mind. He also tweeted out...

Kanye West was having a great weekend, until he wasn’t. One moment, the rapper-producer-entrepreneur was dispensing pearls of pseudo-philosophy on Twitter to the retweets of adoring observers. The next, many of those same admirers had turned to denouncing him instead. Oh, and he had become an alt-right darling. Whatever West is going through at the moment, the response to his Twitter spree reveals more about the people who have fled from him — and those who’ve flocked to him, too. West’s fortunes reversed when he expressed his admiration on Saturday for red-pill YouTuber Candace Owens, an African American Donald Trump...

Thank you Kanye, very cool!

“Kanye West On Red-Pill Rampage,” read the first half of ZeroHedge’s Monday headline on Kanye’s recent twitterstorm endorsing Candace Owens and referencing Scott Adams. The Left is melting down over this pop culture icon becoming, as the kids say, woke. I used to think Kanye West was a blithering idiot, or as President Obama called him, “a jackass.” However, over the years I have realized his musical genius, pop culture relevance, and openness to new ideas and concepts. Despite his decision to marry Kim Kardashian, he is showing his intellectual side in sparking a dialogue on free thinking and being...

A seismic shift in the cultural and political American landscape this weekend emanated from an unlikely epicenter: superstar rapper Kanye West, who tweeted a controversial endorsement of black conservative commentator Candace Owens. Nothing triggers leftist anger quite like blacks thinking for themselves, and not like they do. So the left erupted with predictable fury toward both West and Owens.  Kanye, whose ubiquitous wife Kim Kardashian was a prominent supporter of presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, has drawn leftist fire before. First, he incurred online scorn from the left and right in 2015 for announcing his serious intention to run for President...

Video at source. Great interview on Fox. "The Left wants their slaves back."

In recent days the hordes of social media activists and agitators have been busier than ever intimidating, excoriating and stomping out diversity of thought wherever it appears. This weekend, the Guardian newspaper published an interview with country music star Shania Twain. She discussed her career, troubled childhood, marriage and other typical areas of conversation and then ventured into politics and, of course, Donald Trump. “I would have voted for him because, even though he was offensive, he seemed honest. Do you want straight or polite? Not that you shouldn’t be able to have both. If I were voting, I just...

Kanye West was tweeting on Saturday morning. He’s tweeted a lot recently. West returned to Twitter last week, announced he was writing a philosophy book, and also, that we were all already reading that book, because the book was just his tweets. But one Saturday morning tweet was a bit different, because West was endorsing thoughts from a mind that was not his own: Those who are familiar with Candace Owens may already know why this tweet led to the pro-Trump Internet losing its collective mind. If you’re not, let me explain: Owens, who used to use the social media...

So much for the rumored intersectionality and tolerance of the left. It turns out they can be racist and sexist when someone disagrees with them. Actor and noted liberal Tom Arnold went on the offensive on Sunday after rapper Kanye West tweeted his support for conservative commentator Candace Owens from Turning Point USA. He stated that “I love the way Candace Owens thinks,” causing controversy among the liberal Hollywood and Black Lives Matter circles. Perez Hilton, Shaun White, and Tom Arnold all went after both West and Owens, but it was Arnold who attacked Owens the most. After a series...

Hip-hop megastar and fashion mogul Kanye West took to Twitter on Saturday and declared his “love” for conservative YouTube star turned grassroots activist Candace Owens. “I love the way Candace Owens thinks,” West wrote in a rare message to his 11 million-plus Twitter followers.

Kanye West is showing support for black conservative YouTube personality Candace Owens. KANYE WEST ✔ @kanyewest I love the way Candace Owens thinks 10:15 AM - Apr 21, 2018 "I love the way Candace Owens thinks," read Ye's tweet from Saturday morning. Owens has been compared to Tomi Lahren for sharing controversial views on racism. This includes claiming "white guilt" should stop, calling Black Lives Matter protestors "whiny toddlers," and saying the "color of a person's skin should not determine what issues they are allowed to care about." Owens has since responded to West's tweet by asking for a meeting...

"It's not fair!" may be the most pitiful lament in the English language, but Donald Trump seems intent upon adopting it as his battle cry heading into this summer's Republican convention. The GOP's poorly designed nominating process includes more than its share of problems, but is it really unfair to Trump? ..... < snip > ..... open primaries invite abuse from voters whose goals may not involve selecting the party's strongest representative. Those with deep ties to the party deserve greater input than those with tenuous or nonexistent connections. Yet Democrats and Republicans alike have chosen to pretend otherwise. ........

John Legend is "disappointed" with Kanye West for meeting with Donald Trump. The 'Love Me Now' hitmaker thinks it was a "publicity stunt" for the rapper - who is also his close pal - to meet the President elect. He told Clique: "I don't think it's impossible to talk to [Donald Trump] about issues, but I won't be used as a publicity stunt. I think Kanye was a publicity stunt. "I think Trump has been corrosive, his message has been corrosive to the country. I think the things he's promised to do have been very concerning for a lot of...
