The
rapper was scheduled to perform three songs to help launch the new
season of the comedy show on Saturday, 29th
of September 2018 after which he decided to give a speech in favor of
the former businessman despite the fact that he has been criticized
several times earlier this year for posing as a pro-Donald Trump
supporter.
While
giving the speech, Kanye was wearing a Make America Great Again
baseball cap which has become a popular symbol amongst Donald Trump
supporters. Chris Rock, a man as shocked as most of the people
present there by rapper’s outburst, captured the video and later
posted it online. In his speech, Kanye confesses that white people
often come up to him and ask him his reason for supporting a racist
U.S President. In reply to that, he always says that he would have
left America and settled somewhere else if he started supporting
politicians based on their color preference.
Referencing
the popular horror film Get Out by Jordan Peele in which the lead
character is hypnotized and brainwashed, Kanye declared that he does
not care what people think about his support and it does not matter
to him that people do not share his opinion because they are all
entitled to their own. The rapper also shunned people who make memes
to make fun of his friendship with Donald Trump.
While
recording the video, Chris Rock can be heard laughing while members
of the audience scream and boo at Kanye.
An
eye-witness also stated that as soon as the artist started to vent in
favor of Trump, everyone went silent. After concluding his rant,
Kanye thanked the cast for letting him speak his heart out even
though some of them had been against it.
Later
on Twitter, the rapper hinted that he might be back on the show but,
this time he would come back to host, most likely by the end of the
year.
