Charlamagne Tha God and Kanye West have released their long-awaited interview together. Click here to watch
Ever since Kanye West returned to Twitter on April 13th, it seems like he has turned the internet completely upside down. His tweets range from being about his children, his support of Donald Trump, and refusing to listen to anyone who is going to interrupt his "freethinking."
A few weeks ago The Breakfast Club's very own Charlamagne Tha God was spotted out in California hanging out with the Chicago rapper. While TMZ ran up on the two as they were leaving Kanye's office, Charlamagne and Ye didn't reveal anything about their meeting together. In Angela Yee's Rumor Report, Charlamagne revealed that Kanye did play new music for him but that's not all their meeting was about, saying, "we weren't really building about music, we was just building about life, we grown with kids and wife, we were talking about therapy, just grown man stuff".
After their meeting was revealed, Kanye was quick to hit Twitter talking about Charlamagne and the interview. He said that the two talked about Jay-Z, Virgil Abloh, Barack Obama, Trump and mental health during their sit-down. He also closed out the tweet by calling the radio host "the new Oprah". After the news of the interview dropped on The Breakfast Club, Charlamagne gave Donkey Of The Day for Thursday to himself because he withheld information from the people about what the two discussed.
Since then, Kanye has continued to tweet his feelings away, especially about Donald Trump, even posting a photo of himself wearing the infamous "Make America Great Again Hat". The internet, as well as fellow rappers, did not take to kindly to Mr. West's support of the president, leading to texts from his close friend John Legend. The conversation was posted online by Kanye before the two reunited at Legend's wife Chrissy Tiegan's baby shower. Kanye also was visited by Atlanta rapper T.I as they recorded and dropped a new song over the weekend titled "Ye Vs. The People", in which they discuss their political views and why Kanye supports Trump.
With the tease of the interview existing but with no release date today (May 1st) Kanye surprisingly dropped his full interview with Charlamagne Tha God. Clocking in at a little under two hours long. The radio personality sits down with "The Life of Pablo" rapper to address everything that has been going on with him. One of the biggest moment in the interview is when Kanye West reveals why he connects with Donald Trump saying “It’s an outsider thing,” West said. “When I see an outsider infiltrate, I connect with that".
