Despite the fact
that the rapper was unable to vote in the Presidential Election in
November of 2016, he publicly announced in his Saint Pablo tour a few
weeks after that he would have voted for the current President only.
The crowd disapproved of Kanye’s support for the former businessman
by booing him. Soon after that, because of being under high pressure
and due to the exhaustion from countless performances, the Stronger
hitmaker had to cancel his tour.
In a recent
appearance on Jimmy Kimmel’s show, the artist confessed that
following his hospitalization he faced issues regarding a fall in his
self-esteem. Lack of confidence prevented him from showing support
for Donald Trump, until earlier this year when the spell broke.
Kanye further
explained that whenever he voiced out his support for the President
to the people around him, he was told that he would suffer ghastly
consequences in not only his professional, but personal life as well.
Fear of being cast out of the black community and due to low
confidence, the rapper remained silent in his support for the U.S.
Leader.
After fully recovering from the trauma of his hospitalization a year
and a half later, Kanye gathered the courage to declare in public
that he fully supported Donald Trump by wearing a ‘Make America
Great Again’ hat. Following the hitmaker’s stunt, a lot of
controversies rose.
He also added
that his tweets regarding his support for Donald Trump were not to
stir up politics, but were to help Kanye overcome his fear. The
rapper went on to state that he was just being himself and was not
afraid to face the consequences to come.
Kim Kardashian,
Kanye’s wife met with the U.S. President only a few days ago to ask
him for a favor. She requested the leader to pardon the woman serving
the first life sentence for a non-violent drug offence. The meeting
was a success and as a result, Alice Marie Johnson’s sentence was
reduced not long after.
Kanye appeared to
be at ease with his wife meeting with the President when questioned
about it on Jimmy Kimmel’s show. His interview also brought about
the end of his previous social media dispute with Kimmel.
