Kanye West, 41, is not backing down. This Thursday, the “Lift Yourself” rapper wore a casual all-black outfit and red MAGA hat to visit President Donald Trump, 72, at the White House.
He was joined by Trump’s team as well as members of the media inside the oval office, where he gave a 10-minute speech about gang violence, prison reform, and manufacturing, among other things. He then went totally off topic to tell the presidents that he's not bipolar after all, just sleep deprived. Meanwhile, Ivanka Trump and husband Jared Kushner looked very amused.
The outspoken star addressed the pressures he’s faced from the public and from Hollywood after publicly praising Trump and his controversial views.
Proudly wearing his cap, he hugged Trump, who in turn smiled widely and told his team that the rapper “has been a friend for a long time.”
