Kanye West has taken to Twitter for the first time in two months to address fans directly about his meeting with Donald Trump.
Saying: "I wanted to meet with Trump today to discuss multicultural issues."
He posted the following...
Kanye has previous stated his intention to run for president, possibly in 2020, but social media users think that the #2024 was a direct reference to him delaying his future candidacy to allow for Trump to have a second term in office.

Kanye West remained quiet about what they discussed in the immediate aftermath, saying: "I just want you to take a picture right now."
Mr Trump then hugged the rapper, saying: "You take care of yourself. I'll see you soon."
According to reports, Kanye asked for the meeting and Trump said: "Why not?"
