Kanye West appears to have turned his back on Trump and everyone’s making the same joke
It’s been quite a year for Kanye West whose love and admiration for Donald Trump appears to have known no bounds, culminating in his bizarre visit to the White House earlier this month.

But now the rapper, who prefers to be known as Ye, appears to have turned his back on Trump after this latest missive on Twitter.
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 !!!

It prompted no end of replies, speculation and mostly piss-taking, and it could be the most entertaining thing he’s done in years.

#Yexit? NOPE! No #Blexit for you from Trump because you’re losing money. You insulted African-Americans openly. You believed every word & embraced nationalists, neoNazis & racists. Stop simpering & deal with your shame like a man. Draw some courage from that #MAGA Hat you love! https://t.co/bHEi3Ohy5t
