Talib Kweli pleads to Kanye West: “Come back home”

Nov 21, 2016

Talib Kweli is taking the high road on Kanye West’s latest rants and just wants West to “come back home.”

West is no stranger to controversy over some of his more colorful rants, but his most recent ones, in which he said that he would have voted for Donald Trump if he had voted and in which he called out Jay Z and Beyonce in particular, have folks up in arms and abandoning each other left and right.

Kweli specifically addressed West’s support of Trump in a series of tweets, saying, “feelings don’t matter fam. Facts matter. Real ni**as still got love for you. But our ppl dying out here. Never Trump. the same way you want Jay to reach out to you, u should reach out to real ni**as. Cuz someone ain’t keeping it real w u fam. the ppl gonna ride w you til the wheels fall off for what you’ve given us. But only if u ride w the ppl. Come back home. Love.we love u. u r everything u say u are. A genius, an icon. U added greatness to my life. But lifting Trump up kills us. Come home.”
