Kanye West deletes Trump meeting tweets

The rapper is said to be unhappy with the US President’s actions, including a ban on travellers from predominantly Muslim nations.

KANYE West appeared to have deleted his tweets about a meeting with Donald Trump last year, with reports suggesting he was unhappy with the US President’s actions since taking office.

West has emerged as one of Mr Trump’s biggest celebrity supporters, andmet the then President-elect at Trump Tower on 13 December.

But his tweets about that meeting, where he had wanted to discuss “bullying, supporting teachers, modernizing curriculums and violence in Chicago”, were missing from his account on Monday.

After the talks, West had also tweeted that he felt it “important to have a direct line of communication with our future president if we truly want change.”

It was not clear why the tweets had been deleted, and West’s representatives did not return requests for comment, the Reuters news agency said.

Celebrity website TMZ, quoting an unidentified source, said West had deleted the tweets because he was unhappy about Mr Trump’s actions since he was sworn in on 20 January.

These include a ban on travellers to the United States from seven predominantly Muslim nations.

Mr Trump also said he will “send in the Feds” to “fix the horrible ‘carnage’ going on” in Chicago, where West was raised, due to high crime rates.

“Kanye’s decision to remove the tweets were all his,” TMZ wrote.

“The ‘Muslim ban’ and other actions were the catalyst for his decision.” news.sky.com
