Kanye West has been Kanye-ing on Twitter these past few days and people aren’t quite sure what to make of it. From eyebrow raising faux-deep pontifications about life to full on foolery like this picture of Kanye wearing a MAGA hat, Ye has Black Twitter a tad concerned.

Donald Trump may like this latest iteration of the Kanye spazz-out, but his fans are not on that wave. People noticed a drop of about 9 million Twitter followers after Ye posted the MAGA hat pic, but Twitter has confirmed that he didn’t actually lose 9 million followers. It was a glitch on their end that has now been resolved.
But still, as he racks up co-signs from right wingers like Alex Jones, the number of people in his core fan base seems to be taking a hit.
Of course the fact that he also recently announced a slew of new projects makes some people think this is a giant publicity stunt. Kanye has never been shy about toying with the media and he married into a family that has built an actual fortune off the smoke and mirrors of social media and savvy PR maneuvers with a loose relationship to morals and ethics.

Maybe this is a publicity stunt, but of a different variety. What if Kanye West is actually doing extended performance art? What if his upcoming album will be called Back from the Sunken Place or F Donald Trump or something like that and filled with Black creative genius?
Dah, well. Probably not, but a girl can dream. In the meantime, Twitter has been having a field day with Ye’s professions of love for his “brother” Donald Trump.
