MAGA Kanye drops new track, makes up with John Legend after pro-Trump Twitter flurry
In more MAGA Kanye news, the embattled rapper dropped a new track that includes an exchange between him and Atlanta hip hop legend T.I. going back and forth about Ye’s support of President Trump and his “Make America Great Again” agenda.
The release debuted on Power 106.FM, according to Complex.com.
It was the second song released by West on Friday. Earlier in the day, he dropped “Lift Yourself,” which samples “Liberty” by Amnesty. That song, Kanye implied in a tweet before sharing it, was meant to troll radio host Ebro Darden, who revealed on his show that West told him, “I love Donald Trump.”
“I’m going to drop a song with a verse that will bring Ebro the closure he’s been seeking,” Kanye tweeted.

Meanwhile, the rapper took to Twitter Friday to insist that he and activist/songwriter John Legend are still friends, even after a raucous text conversation they shared after West’s Twitter spree supporting President Trump.
West shared a selfie of himself and Legend at the baby shower for Legend’s wife, Chrissy Teigen, late Friday evening, both smiling, with the caption, “We got love. Agree to disagree.” An hour later, West posted a 1-minute video of Legend playing the piano under the caption, “Lead with love.”

The pair of tweets seem to be ushering in a kinder, gentler, more Kumbaya-singing social-media Kanye, who issued tweets on Saturday urging people to contact folks they hate and tell them “I love you.”

“I’ve got a new challenge for everyone today,” he tweeted. “Pick somebody that you had an argument with that you think you hate maybe even someone you haven’t spoken to in years and contact that person and tell them I love you.”
