John Legend has resigned from his friendship with Kanye West over his 2020 White House bid and support of former President Donald Trump.
Legend could not give the friendship a “green light” anymore because “we publicly disagreed on his running for office and supporting Trump.”
The singer-songwriter spoke on CNN’s “The Axe Files” podcast with David Axelrod and said the pair weren’t “friends as much as we used to be.”
West heavily supported Trump while he was in office, wearing “Make America Great Again” hats and visiting him in the Oval Office.
The rapper believed by trusting God he could lead American politics, furthermore announcing his 2020 presidential campaign on Twitter under the Birthday Party, according to the Hill.
West didn’t appreciate the lack of support he received from loved ones while on the campaign trail.
“He was upset that I didn’t support his run for presidency of the United States of America — for understandable reasons,” Legend said.
The brotherhood was straining for him. “I think it became too much for us to sustain our friendship, honestly,” he said.
“Like, he’s been pretty upfront with his opinions, his struggles, all the things that he’s dealing with. And I think what you see with him is pretty much what you get,” Legend said of his old friend.
People seem to forget how much Yeezy loves Trump.
The independent campaign paid for help from advisers to GOP leaders and a managing partner at one of the top conservative political firms in the country.
“This was absolutely amateur hour. And his campaign paid a lot of money for those results,” Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington Communications director Jordan Libowitz told Daily Beast.
He continued, “It’s very clear that the whole point behind Kanye’s campaign was to try to re-elect Donald Trump. Whether that was a goal of Kanye is another issue. But he was clearly seen as a way to steal potential votes from Biden.”
Kanye was working closely with the GOP after a The New York Times article found that at least four people who have been active in Republican politics were linked to West’s attempt to get on the presidential ballot in 2020.
