RantCrush Top 5: December 13, 2016

Tuesday morning, rapper Kanye West had everyone trying to figure out why he was visiting the Trump Tower in Manhattan. He walked in with his entire entourage around 9 AM, with freshly dyed blond hair. Later, he came back to the lobby accompanied by Donald Trump. In front of the cameras, Trump said, “We’ve been friends for a long time,” while West seemingly ignored the reporters.

Trump: “We’ve been friends for a long time.”

Kanye: “I just want to take a picture right now.”

At a concert in November, West said that if he had voted in the election, he would have voted for Trump. Shortly after, he cancelled all the remaining shows on his tour and checked into a hospital for exhaustion. He has also said that he wants to run for president in 2020. So, what is this duo up to now?

So there’s talk that @kanyewest may perform at @realDonaldTrump ‘s inauguration. May I suggest performing “See you in my nightmares”?
