West praised Donald Trump on Wednesday following several days of headlines about his support for the 45th president.
Tweeted West: “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 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.”
He later added: “my wife just called me and she wanted me to make this clear to everyone. I don't agree with everything Trump does. I don't agree 100% with anyone but myself.”
West has since backed up his praise with several additional gestures of support.
