Good thing Kanye has insurance and the Life Of Pablo album, i sure they won’t like it but pay the man.

Kanye West Supports Trump Presidency; Tells Black People To Stop Focusing On Racism
The election appears to not have stopped Kanye West to continue to use his celebrity and massive concert crowds to voice what ever opinion he chooses. At a concert stop in California, West expressed that he supports Donald Trump and went on to tell Black people to stop all the attention on color and racism.
West was in San Jose Thursday night and at one point paused his performance to speak about the recent election and the outcome which has brought hundreds of protesters to the streets since the results proclaimed Trump the President Elect. During the Chicago rappers “speech” he admits that he did not vote but said he is putting his faith in Donald Trump.
Kanye started is rant by stating that there were portions of the Republican candidate’s platform that he enjoyed and supported, while acknowledging that supporting the President elect could hurt his tour ticket sales. It was West’s admission that he opted out of voting that received the loudest response from the concert crowd.
“I told you all I didn’t vote right? But if I would have voted, I would have voted for Trump,” West said to a combination of boo’s and muted clapping. West went on to chuck a jab at the DNC Party for conceding and being presumptuous on taking the Black vote assuming that he as a celebrity would support Hillary Clinton’s failed run.
In spite the increasing number of hate crimes against minorities and the LGBT community, West concluded that Black people are too focused on racism and urged the crowd to shift away from that attitude. Is certainly appears that West is working to bring the country together using his massively attentive and sold out shows to share hope and acceptance.

T.I. Ready To Accept Donald Trump As President: quoted saying “We Didn’t Do Enough”
T.I. has come out in full support of the US Constitution and the Electoral College. Going the way of the popular vote, the Atlanta rapper put in his vote for Hillary Clinton instead of the President-elect. He has also come out and admits that he’s ready to accept the results and acknowledge the Republican as our next President.
“We didn’t do enough, in enough time,” Tip tells TMZ, of the efforts to disapprove of and attempt to prevent the Republican candidates success. With acceptance comes education in the election process and next steps T.I. says. Making a statement to young people and those that feel disenfranchised with the 2016 election, Tip is planning a movement to make sure people get out and vote in the 2018 Senate elections. Stressing involvement at the State and local level is where the real work for change begins.
“Now it’s about focusing on, for one, how we have to keep ourselves out of harm’s way and kind of how we unite over the next two years,” the Atlanta rapper continues, “because in the next two years there’s going to be some more voting that needs to be done, it’s some more people that need to be ousted and new blood elected.”
The superstar rapper/actor remains a Clinton supporter and keeps a link to a public petition calling for the Electoral College to make the Democrat president based on winning the popular vote when they cast their ballots December 19th. The petition now has nearly 5 million signatures and the link can be found on Tip’s Instagram bio page.
“We are calling on the Electors to ignore their state’s’ votes and cast their ballots for Secretary Clinton,” reads the petition. “Why? Mr. Trump is unfit to serve. His scapegoating of so many Americans, and his impulsivity, bullying, lying, admitted history of sexual assault, and utter lack of experience make him a danger to the Republic. Secretary Clinton WON THE POPULAR VOTE and should be President.” T.I. is quoted saying.
The petition seems to draw from a common thread that is resident within the Hip Hop community, although as reported, Kanye West has spoken out and appears to be one rapper that’s okay with the Trump Presidency.
