Welp. The honeymoon’s over. Looks like Kanye is breaking up with Trump.
Trouble in paradise? Sure looks like it. On Tuesday rapper Kanye West tweeted out that he was distancing himself from politics because he feels like he’s been used. He said that he’s being “used to spread messages I don’t believe in.”
“I am distancing myself from politics and completely focusing on being creative!!!” he said.
My eyes are now wide open and now realize I’ve been used to spread messages I don’t believe in. I am distancing myself from politics and completely focusing on being creative !!!

I introduced Candace to the person who made the logo and they didn’t want their name on it so she used mine. I never wanted any association with Blexit. I have nothing to do with it.

This week conservative wing-nut activist Candace Owens led a new campaign called “Blexit” that encourages black voters to leave the Democratic party. Owens tried to connect Kanye with the campaign. But he said on Tuesday that he has nothing to do with it.
I support creating jobs and opportunities for people who need them the most, I support prison reform, I support common-sense gun laws that will make our world safer.

I support those who risk their lives to serve and protect us and I support holding people who misuse their power accountable.
I believe in love and compassion for people seeking asylum and parents who are fighting to protect their children from violence and war.

Though he’s gone cold now, back in April Kanye had all kinds of love for Owens. He tweeted then that he loves the way she thinks.
I love the way Candace Owens thinks

Kanye may want to distance himself from politics now but just about a month ago he made an appearance on Saturday Night Live. And he gave a bizarre rant all about his love for Donald Trump and Republican politics. Soon after that he went to the White House and had an unbelievable photo op with Trump in the Oval Office where he professed his love for the president.
Kanye is off his rocker. But Trump loves him. And he may be nuts but he’s right about being used by Trump and Owens. Looks like Donald is going to have to find a new token black man to show off when people call him a racist.
