A lot of heads were shaking yesterday when pictures of Kanye West meeting with Donald Trump at the Trump Tower in NYC surfaced. After being hit with backlash from his Trump-supporting comments West dug an even deeper hole amongst fans and peers by meeting with Trump.
West tried to clean up the meeting by saying it was for “change” and to discuss “multicultural issues” like bullying, violence in Chicago, supporting teachers, etc.
John Legend, one of Ye’s good friends and G.O.O.D. Music signees sat down with French media company Clique to discuss the meeting. Legend wasn’t buying the reasoning behind the meeting and viewed it as more of a publicity stunt for Trump.
Legend has been very vocal in his disapproval of Trump since the early primaries and was “very disappointed” Ye met with the President-elect.
“I think the things he’s promised to do have been very concerning for a lot of people, and for Kanye to support that message is very disappointing,” Legend told Clique.
