Kim Kardashian and Kanye West may have posed for a photo opp with Hillary Clinton, but it’s Donald Trump who’s got the ranting rapper’s support.
Following a flight from Paris to Los Angeles on Wednesday, West, 38, was overheard sharing his political opinions with another passenger.
“He’s not going to vote for Trump but he supports him,” a spy told Page Six.
When asked by the passenger if he was backing Hillary, West made it clear he was all for Trump, but a source close to West says the Grammy Award winner supporting Trump is “totally untrue.”
According to the Federal Election Commission, West has already contributed to Clinton’s campaign.
On July 28, 2015, West donated $2,700 to Hillary for America (his mother-in-law, Kris Jenner, contributed the very same amount a few weeks later on Aug. 13). Prior to that, he donated $15,000 to the Democratic National Committee on Oct. 16, 2014 (days earlier, on Oct. 10, 2014, Kardashian also made the same donation to the DNC).
West also performed at a Democratic fundraiser at The Warfield in San Francisco last October.
While the Kardashians have financially backed Hillary, West’s father-in-law, Caitlyn Jenner, blasted the former first lady and the Democratic Party on the Season 2 premiere of “I Am Cait.”
“If we’re unfortunate enough to get Hillary as our next president, we need her on [transgender people’s] side. She won’t be. She could care less about women, she cares about herself,” said Caitlyn, 66.
Dressed in a red hoodie that read “I Feel Like Ye” and jeans, West was returning to Los Angeles after visiting Ikea’s headquarters in Sweden and meeting with Hermés in Paris. On the transcontinental flight, West was seated with contemporary artist Vanessa Beecroft, with whom he collaborated on his Yeezy Season 3 presentation at Madison Square Garden.
“Met with @Hermes_Paris family yesterday… been out here fighting for 13 years and it feels like we’re finally seeing wins…,” he tweeted Tuesday evening.
Upon exiting the aircraft, West spoke freely with his fellow passenger about his ambitions in the fashion industry, echoing a statement he tweeted on Feb. 12: that he wants to become the creative director of Hermés.
Who said it, Trump or Kanye?
