Angry Fans Walk Out Of Kanye West Concert After Hearing His Donald Trump Comments (Video)

Kanye West made a surprising statement during a recent stop on his Saint Pablo tour — he’s a Trump supporter (video below). 

The rapper was performing in California when he decided to go on a political rant about President-elect Donald Trump. West said that he didn’t vote in the election, but if he did he would’ve voted for Trump.

“I said something that was kind of politically correct. I told you all I didn’t vote,” he said, Entertainment Weekly reported. “But I didn’t tell you – I guess I told you – but if I would have voted, I would have voted for Trump.”

West made several political statements throughout the course of his show, even stopping for five minutes to talk politics. 

“What do you believe? That’s your opinion. Express your opinion, bro. Express your opinion. Thank you,” he said to an angry crowd member who threw something at him. “That’s a woman right there saying ‘I love you’ after I just said that there was things that I liked about Trump’s campaign. That’s not supposed to happen, right? No! That’s not supposed to happen, right?”

West went even further, elaborating on what he specifically liked about Trump’s campaign. 

“There’s methods, non-political methods to speaking, that I like, that I feel were very futuristic. That style and method of communication has proven that it can be a politically correct way of communication. And I f— with that,” he said. 

West also called for people to come together regardless of political opinions and the divisive nature of the campaign season. Twitter user RaptorJesuss live-tweeted his statement.

“I’m not asking ya’ll on your opinions on who’s better, but there are people who voted for either side that come together for music,” he told the crowd, Complex reported. 

The controversial rapper also commented on his assertion during last year’s MTV Video Music Awards that he would run for president in 2020.

“I don’t say 2020 out of disrespect to our president at all. I’m not saying that, ‘Aw, man, that just means anybody can win.’ That’s not what I’m saying when I say 2020. I’m just saying I’ve got some ideas about the way we should connect our ideas,” he said. 

“We should use opposite parties – that the Republicans, that the Democrats, that everyone who ran that had an idea that people agreed with should be the collective ideas that are used to run the country. That should mean more. So it’s things that Benjamin Carson believes in that I believe in; I think that Benjamin Carson should still be a consultant. I think that Hillary Clinton should still be a consultant. I think Bill Clinton should still be a consultant. I think Obama should still be a consultant. Instead of, ‘Oh, I don’t f— with your principles so now I’m not going to give you no information that could help you help all of us.’”
