“I already told you that didn’t vote in this election. <...> But if I had to vote, I would vote for trump,” said Kanye West on November 17 during a concert in San Jose (California). The rapper praised the rhetoric of the elected President of the United States, called his campaign “absolutely brilliant”, and African-Americans chided because “they talk too much about their race.”
“We live in a racist world is a fact. We live in a racist country, period. And no candidate will be able to change it”.
“But that doesn’t mean I don’t believe Black Lives Mattes. This does not mean that I do not believe in women’s rights. This does not mean that I don’t believe in gay marriage,” added Kanye, but it was too late: the audience was accompanied by the speech of the artist is dissatisfied, shouting, social networks began to fill posts with the title “Kanye supported trump.”
interestingly, the last few years Kanye has supported rival trump, Hillary Clinton and the Democratic party, and not just in words but financially. According to documents from the Federal election Commission, USA, in September 2012, Kanye made two donations to the Obama team in October 2014, he transferred $ 15 million to the national Committee of the US Democratic party, and in July 2015 — $ 2.7 thousand on the campaign Clinton (“Hillary for America”). In his speech, he also noted that Hillary would be a good “consultant”, but major change needed is “evil,” as trump (by the way, in this judgment it coincided with the position left Slavoj philosopher Zizek).

Kanye scolded beyoncé for what she did not want to speak at the MTV VMA, if a nomination “Video of the year” will not win the video for “Formation” (he eventually won), and her husband Jay-Z was asked “not to send killers”, and just call him.
the next day, West has canceled his concert in Los Angeles, and then is interrupted a world tour without explanation. “The remaining dates of the tour Saint Pablo cancelled.
