Trump denies rift with Kanye West despite rapper's claims he's been "used to spread messages" he doesn't believe in
President Trump dismissed the idea that there is a rift between him and Kanye West after the latter made an abrupt exit from politics on Tuesday.
After megastar Kanye West made an abrupt exit from politics the day before, President Trump denied that there is any kind of rift between the two. Before leaving for a campaign rally in Florida, the commander-in-chief told reporters: "We get along great. He's a good guy."
West recently met with the president in the Oval Office, where Trump said his appeal towards black voters significantly increased after his support. But on Tuesday, the rapper announced that he is quitting politics after being "used to spread messages I don't believe in." "My eyes are now wide open and now realize I've been used to spread messages I don't believe in. I am distancing myself from politics and completely focusing on being creative !!!," he wrote on Twitter.
