Kanye West has been causing quite a scene on Twitter this week. The rapper, who took a break from social media for a while after going through personal issues, has now taken his place back on Twitter to rant all day, every day.
West has gone on some pretty long-winded tweet sprees about how much he loves the president and supports him–which, fans were not happy about. Seeing as Donald Trump is no friend to the culture or black people in America, many fans were outraged to see Kanye West–someone who claims he is here for his people–supporting him.
Free thinkers don't fear retaliation for your thoughts. The traditional thinkers are only using thoughts and words but they are in a mental prison. You are free. You've already won. Feel energized. Move in love not fear. Be afraid of nothing.

You don't have to agree with trump but the mob can't make me not love him. We are both dragon energy. He is my brother. I love everyone. I don't agree with everything anyone does. That's what makes us individuals. And we have the right to independent thought.

If your friend jumps off the bridge you don't have to do the same. Ye being Ye is a fight for you to be you. For people In my life the idea of Trump is pretty much a 50 50 split but I don't tell a Hillary supporter not to support Hillary
I love Hillary too.— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) April 25, 2018
I love when people have their own ideas. You don't have to be allowed anymore. Just be.
Love who you want to love. That's free thought. I'm not even political. I'm not a democrat or a republican

West also went on rants about “free thinking” and “spreading love.”
And also I'm all the way out the sunken place. And I'm not scared anymore. I'm not scared of the media. I'm not scared of the past and I'm optimistic about the future. This tweet is in love not fear.

with love I am invincible. Truth is subjective but love is the most powerful force in the world and the world needs to express more of it.
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) April 25, 2018
I said express love more because we have love but we don't express it. My friend Tmills will always say "I love you" and it used to make me feel weird to hear that. Now I tell everyone I love them. He sparked me to start expressing love more.

He then posted his “Make America Great Again” hat which was clearly signed by…well, you can tell.

And, it seems as though Kanye has a big supporter behind his thought process. You guessed it–Trump gave him a huge shout out.

Due to his ranting and wild political views that have recently come to light–the rapper has lost millions of followers on social media–overnight (about 10 million to be exact).
Ok, per the internet archive, it really does look like Kanye lost straight-up millions of followers today. Sheesh. pic.twitter.com/LYmwmsZcAt

A lot of people online think that the rapper, who they once loved and adored, has officially lost his mind.
Yea, think imma have to delete Kanye music. Today def solidified it. He has lost his entire mind. And it makes me more upset that so many people blindly follow his madness.

Kanye lost his fucking mind…again. He was mad because George Bush didn’t care about black people. Trump doesn’t care about any people.

After many came at Kanye West talking about his mental health and claiming he’s “mentally ill,” his wife, Kim Kardashian West, has taken to Twitter to release a powerful statement, backing her husband.
To the media trying to demonize my husband let me just say this… your commentary on Kanye being erratic & his tweets being disturbing is actually scary. So quick to label him as having mental health issues for just being himself when he has always been expressive is not fair
— Kim Kardashian West (@KimKardashian) April 25, 2018
Yesterday it was announced that Kanye had parted ways with some business people and media outlets made this about Kanye’s mental health. Rather than just a simple business decision. So I’m glad he tweeted about the state of his company and all of the exciting things happening
— Kim Kardashian West (@KimKardashian) April 25, 2018
He’s a free thinker, is that not allowed in America? Because some of his ideas differ from yours you have to throw in the mental health card? That’s just not fair. He’s actually out of the sunken place when he’s being himself which is very expressive
— Kim Kardashian West (@KimKardashian) April 25, 2018
Now when he spoke out about Trump… Most people (including myself) have very different feelings & opinions about this. But this is HIS opinion. I believe in people being able to have their own opinions,even if really different from mine
He never said he agrees with his politics— Kim Kardashian West (@KimKardashian) April 25, 2018
Kanye will never run in the race of popular opinion and we know that and that’s why I love him and respect him and in a few years when someone else says the same exact thing but they aren’t labeled the way he is and you will all praise them! Kanye is years ahead of his time
— Kim Kardashian West (@KimKardashian) April 25, 2018
Mental Health is no joke and the media needs to stop spitting that out so casually. Bottom line

You heard the woman–lay off her damn man!
