Kanye West

There was some confusion yesterday after Kanye West strolled into Trump Towers in New York City to meet with POTUS Donald J Trump.

After posing for a few pictures with the president, the rapper refused to answer any questions about his visit.

The rapper, who has previously made his ambitions for presidency in 2020 clear, later tweeted: 

Yeezy, who didn't vote in this year's election, seems to have moved his ambitions back four years after his meeting with the POTUS. 

He also took to Twitter to reveal the details of their discussion. 

"I wanted to meet with Trump today to discuss multicultural issues," tweeted the rapper. 

"These issues included bullying, supporting teachers, modernising curriculums, and violence in Chicago." 

"I feel it is important to have a direct line of communication with our future President if we truly want change."

No official details of their meeting have been released.

Kanye was recently released from hospital after suffering from a break down caused by exhaustion, and is currently in outpatient treatment.

Kanye West hasn't been spotted for over two weeks since his hospitalisation for exhaustion.

The rapper, who has been recovering with the help of wife Kim Kardashian, visited the Rick Owens: Furniture exhibition at the MOCA Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood on Thursday.

Italian artist Giovanni Leonardo Bassan shared a photo of Kanye's outing on Instagram, and reveled the rapper's new look.

Following in wife Kim and sister-in-law Kylie Jenner's footsteps, the Life of Pablo musician opted for a new bleach blonde hairstyle. 

The artist's public outing comes 17 days after he entered UCLA’s Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital for a week-long treatment, where he spent Thanksgiving. 

"He is receiving outpatient care somewhere else with a medical team," a source told People.

"Kim still seems concerned, but is supportive. They don't know for how long Kanye will need outpatient care."

The rapper has cancelled the remaining dates of his Life of Pablo tour to focus on improving his health.

While his family have rallied around him following his hospitalisation this week, much speculation has been made as to the impact the Kardashians have had on Kanye West's health.

Reflecting on the supposed pitfalls which have befallen men who have married into the family, some social media outlets have suggested that Kanye's decline in health was inevitable after becoming part of the Kardashian family.

And apparently rapper, Akon, is actually with them on this one.

"I actually thought about that, because at first it was a big joke to everybody," he said, according to TMZ.

"But in Africa there have always been sayings that sometimes you can’t deny what you see, but often times the eye may deceive you too." he said.

Acknowledging that the theory that the family are cursed sounds bizarre to many, Akon continued:  "It’s hard to comment on something like that as much as the evidence may show you that that’s possible, you don’t wanna discredit it as it may just be bad luck."

While the Right Now singer was understandably reluctant to say too much on the subject, he did add: " I wouldn't deny it but I wouldn't promote it either. When you think about it, the evidence all points to it."

Kanye abruptly cancelled his tour before being hospitalised at the beginning of the week.

Earlier this week, Kanye West was hospitalised for exhaustion and sleep deprivation after he began “acting erratically” while visiting his trainer’s home.

While numerous celebrities have come forward in support of the rapper, few have surmised the situation as effectively as Lady Gaga.

In a series of tweets released from her official Twitter account yesterday, the Paparazzi singer praised the controversial star for his “bravery and courage” and asked the public to refrain from mocking the father of two over his mental health concerns.

“It’s not funny to joke about anyone’s possible or not possible mental illness,” she began.  “This is a sensitive time for many.  Let’s be kind and loving.”

“While I don’t agree with everything he does I hope the public shows compassion and [love] for @kanyewest and each other.  One love.  One race.”

The 30-year-old concluded her statement by writing: “@kanyewest I support and love u brother, I see in you bravery and courage to stop this tour and take care of YOU.  You are a GREAT artist (sic).”

 

 

Yesterday, John Legend admitted that he was with Kanye’s wife, Kim Kardashian, shortly before the Famous creator was hospitalised.

“I was concerned by what I saw,” he said.  “So hopefully he’s getting some rest and some time to figure things out.”

Shortly after news broke that Kanye West had been hospitalised yesterday, long-term friend John Legend was quizzed about the rapper's state of mind and wellbeing in recent weeks.

While reluctant to speak out of turn, the All of Me singer did acknowledge that Kanye had endured considerable stress since his wife Kim was the victim of an armed robbery in Paris.

"I think he's been through a lot lately with what happened to Kim," John told ET host Nischelle Turner. "I think he needs to rest."

"I think his fans will be patient and let him rest. He'll come back stronger, hopefully," he added.

Having cancelled his tour prior to being admitted to a hospital in LA, Kanye's mental health was discussed at length today, but it was not a topic which John wanted to engage with.

"I'm not gonna speak out of term and speak for him," the singer stressed. "All I can see is what he said to the public — and that is he's tired and needs some rest."

As it happens, John was with Kim shortly before Kanye was admitted to hospital and admitted that the turn of events was a cause for concern.

“We were with Kim actually, you know, right before all of that,” he said on CBS' This Morning earlier today.

“I was concerned by what I saw, so hopefully he’s getting some rest and some time to figure things out”.

Kanye is currently under observation after police responded to a medical welfare phone call yesterday afternoon.

Less than a day after cancelling the remainder of his Saint Pablo tour, Kanye West has been hospitalised with a “medical emergency” in LA.

According to TMZ, the rapper was taken to UCLA Medical Centre for a “psychiatric evaluation” after he began “acting erratically” while visiting his trainer’s home.

A combination of management and law enforcement convinced the 39-year-old to agree to medical assistance.

He was assessed for severe sleep deprivation before being transported to hospital.

The Mirror has reported that Kanye’s wife, Kim Kardashian, has cancelled her first red carpet appearance since her traumatic Paris Fashion Week robbery to be by her husband’s side.

Kris Jenner admitted Kanye was left “exhausted” by his “gruelling tour” while attending The Angel Ball in New York shortly before the news of his hospitalisation broke, Perez Hilton states.

Last week, the Famous hitmaker hit headlines for admitting he supports Donald Trump at his San Jose show and for criticising Beyoncé and Jay Z before walking out of his Sacramento concert.

Earlier this week, Kanye West surprised fans in San Jose by admitting during a 40 minute rant that he supported Donald Trump in the US presidential election.

Unfortunately Ye’s ramblings didn’t end there, as last night the rapper criticised Hollywood’s most untouchable power couple before storming off his own stage in Sacramento, California.

After arriving one and a half hours late and performing just three songs, the Famous creator interrupted his Saint Pablo tour to condemn Beyoncé and Jay Z in another bizarre speech.

“This is a moment in the Matrix, bro,” he began.  “Beyoncé, I was hurt! ‘Cause I heard that you said you wouldn't perform unless you won Video of the Year over me, and over Hotline Bling.”

“In my opinion – now, don't go tryin’ to diss Beyoncé, she is great.  Taylor Swift is great.  We are all great people, we are all equal.  But sometimes, we be playin’ the politics too much and forgettin’ who we are – just to win.  F*ck winning!  F*ck lookin’ cool!”

“I've been sent here to give y’all my truth,” he continued.  “Even at the risk of my own life, even at the risk of my own success, my own career.  I've been sent here to give y’all the truth.”

“Jay Z, call me, bruh!  You still ain’t call me!  Jay Z, call me!  Jay Z, I know you got killers, please don't send them at my head.  Just call me!  Talk to me like a man!”

The father of two then turned on Hillary Clinton and the radio industry before declaring “I’m on my Trump sh*t tonight”.

Don’t worry, it makes no sense to us either!

Kanye West shocked fans when he revealed that he supported Donald Trump in the recent American presidential election.

The Grammy Award winning rapper made the revelation while performing at his Saint Pablo tour in San Jose.

“I told y’all I didn’t vote, right? But if I would have voted, I would have voted Trump" said the controversial star, in a video uploaded by a concert attendee.

One fan live Tweeted Kanye's alleged 40 minute political preaching.

Kanye "is glad Trump inspired racists to reveal themselves." "This is the beginning," said the rapper. 

Kanye also reportedly reiterated his ambitions to run for president in the 2020 elections.

"Rappers are the philosophers of our now, celebrities are the influencers of our now, just look at the president, he wasn't in politics and won," said the star. 

Most Hollywood A-listers, such a George Clooney, Beyonce and Kendall Jenner were resoundingly in support of Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.

Kanye also shared his opinions about the Clinton campaign over several speeches during the concert, and said that he "loved" Trump's debate style.

One concert attendee reportedly threw something at the singer, who then threatened to cancel the show and asked: "Am I not allowed to have an opinion?"

"I'm a human being too, I have feelings, I liked the debates, Im a guy and a rapper, I'm a non political rebel, the debates were entertaining"

The rapper is said to have stopped multiple songs during the concert to continue discussing Trump's "genius." 

Never shy of ruffling a few feathers, the rapper then said that the Saint Pablo tour was a safe place for people all all political beliefs. 

The singer recently shared a piece of artwork of himself sitting in the Oval Room of the White House, reinforcing his intentions to run for president in the next elections.

With two children already at home, it looks like Kim Kardashian is ready to expand the brood.

In the latest clip from next week’s Keeping Up With the Kardashians, Kim is seen telling her mother that she’s been thinking about having more children.

“So, I’ve come to the conclusion that I just want to explore surrogacy,” Kim told a shocked Kris.

The mum-of-two has been open about her previous pregnancy struggles with her three-year-old daughter, North and 10-month-old son, Saint.

Documenting her troubles on the show, Kim shared her experiences with the accreta, a condition which means the placenta stays attached to the uterus instead of coming apart after birth.

Kim had previously said she would not have any more children but it seems the 36-year-old may have changed her mind as she starts her research into surrogacy.

Many say that the sudden change of mind could be down to husband, Kanye West who has spoken about wanting more children with the reality star.

If we thought the video for Taylor Swift's Bad Blood was a low blow, it's nothing on Katy Perry's latest social media contribution.

While attending a Kanye West concert this week, the Teenage Dream singer decided to record herself enjoying one of Kanye's most controversial tracks – Famous.

And for anyone who has been living under a rock for the best part of a year, this track – and one particular lyric contained within –  almost signalled the end of Taylor Swift's career.

After strenuously denying claims she had given a derogatory lyric about herself the go-ahead, leaked footage courtesy of Kim Kardashian revealed that Taylor had been telling some fairly hefty lies.

Looking pretty happy with herself, Katy pulled faces into the camera as she swayed to Ye's "I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex / Why? I made that bitch famous" line.

And while some social media users have slammed Katy for the move, others have been quick to defend her.

"Omg Katy is so childish" and it wasn't childish when Taylor made a whole song and MV to drag Katy? And she worked so hard to make it #1?" countered one fan.

Your move, Taylor.

You don't mess with Queen Bey.

Whether you're Becky with the good hair or Kanye with the woeful fashion line, we all know that Beyoncé and her family are off-limits.

Unfortunately for the Life of Pablo singer, he never got the memo, and has in turn made a serious enemy of the Drunk In Love singer.

After calling Jay Z out on his lack of concern following Kim Kardashian's assault in Paris, Beyoncé has reminded Ye it's often worth keeping issues like this to yourself.

Reflecting on Jay Z's reaction to his family's upset during a concert in Seatlle this week, Kanye said: "You wanna know how I’m feelin'? Come by the house."

"Bring the kids by the house. Like we’re brothers. Let’s sit down," Kanye raged. "I can’t take this sh*t bro. Our kids have never even played together."

According to a source close to Beyoncé, the singer is not happy, saying: "Beyonce is frustrated and disappointed in Kanye for calling them out like this."

"They’ve been friends with Kanye for a long, long time, if he has issues with them, he can call them up and they can talk about it in private," the insider continued.

"She thinks he should be home taking care of Kim, not putting his energy into this kind of childish negativity. After all the pain and suffering the Paris robbery caused, Bey really doesn’t think the world needs them feuding."

Taylor Swift can rest easy – we can't see Kanye demanding awards in Beyonce's honour after this…

After a wedding ceremony and two kids, you'd be forgiven for thinking Kim Kardashian and Kanye West were in it for the long haul but if recent reports are anything to go by, the marriage may be little more than a 'business arrangement'.

In a decision which isn't going to win him any fans among the Kardashian/West camp, Kim's former bodyguard implied that the relationships she shared with Kanye was a strategic career move.

Speaking exclusively to Now magazine, Mark Behar opened up about his experience working alongside them and revealed that the couple are only staying together for the sake of their children.

"They’re only together now because they’ve had the kids, but I don’t believe their relationship is all about love any more," he told the magazine.

In addition to revealing that they fought over Kanye's interest in other women at last year's VMAs, Mark questioned the Kardashian womens' attitude towards the men in their lives.

"They take them in, tell them to put their lives in their hands, but once they have no more use for them just throw them out. They eat men alive," he insisted.

Suggesting that the Kardashian empire is built on little more than phony storylines and a lust for cash, he added: "Not one bit of their lives is real. It’s just all for filming, to make money and get sponsorship deals."

Your move, Kim.
