We are four, five seconds from wildin’ about Kanye deleting his Trump tweets.

The rapper has been relatively quiet on Twitter this year. In his near-silence, he’s deleted all mention of President Donald Trump on his Twitter account, according to TMZ (and his Twitter).

TMZ reports that the West is “super unhappy with the president’s performance” and that, among other things, the Muslim ban “turned him against the president,” though its unclear from where such information is sourced.

West had met with Trump back in December 2016 to discuss “multicultural issues,” and followed the meeting with a series of now-deleted tweets. Those tweets read as follows:

I wanted to meet with Trump today to discuss multicultural issues.

— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) December 13, 2016

These issues included bullying, supporting teachers, modernizing curriculums, and violence in Chicago.

I feel it is important to have a direct line of communication with our future President if we truly want change.

— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) December 13, 2016

We’ve reached out to Kanye West’s representatives about the deleted tweets and will update this post accordingly.
