Yikes! Kanye West Booed After Pro-Trump Rant on ‘SNL’

Wrong crowd! Kanye West came under fire after delivering a speech in support of President Donald Trump during his Saturday, September 29, appearance on Saturday Night Live.

Kanye West’s 13 Most Intriguing Quotes of All Time

The 41-year-old rapper wore a red Make America Great Again hat as he sang praises of the commander in chief, 72, during the closing credits of the show’s season 44 premiere.

“They bullied me backstage. They said, ‘Don’t go out there with that hat on.’ They bullied me and then they said I’m in the sunken place!” he said. “I think the universe has balance. 90 percent of news are liberal. 90 percent of TV, L.A., New York, writers, rappers, musicians, so it’s easy to make it seem like it’s so, so, so one-sided.”

Celebrities’ Political Affiliations

“The blacks want always Democrats, you know, it’s like the plan they did, to take the fathers out of the home and promote welfare. Does anybody know about that? That’s a Democratic plan,” West continued. He then sang, “I wanna cry right now. Black man in America, supposed to keep what you’re feeling inside right now.”

The Yeezy designer then expressed his support for Trump. “There’s so many times when I talk to, like, a white person about this and they say, ‘How could you like Trump? He’s racist.’ Well, if I was concerned about racism, I would’ve moved out of America a long time ago,” he quipped. While some audience members applauded, they were quickly overshadowed by booing.

Celebs Fight Back on Social Media

West hasn’t shied away from discussing his admiration for the president in the past. Back in April, the Grammy winner made headlines for tweeting about his close bond with the hotel magnate.

“You don’t have to agree with Trump but the mob can’t make me not love him,” he wrote at the time. “We are both dragon energy. He is my bother. I love everyone. I don’t agree with everything anyone does. That’s what makes us individuals. And we have the right to independent thought.”

Trump retweeted the “Heartless” singer’s remarks. “Thank you Kanye,” he wrote. “Very cool!”

Red Carpet Date! Sophia Bush and Grant Hughes Attend WHCA Dinner

Finding The One! Sophia Bush has kept her romance with Grant Hughes relatively private since the pair were first spotted together in Malibu in May 2020. However, the FocusMotion Health founder has shared a few photos of the couple. Ever since landing the role of Brooke Davis on One Tree Hill in 2003, Bush’s personal life has made headlines. That is something that the actress and activist has intentionally changed, she explained in June 2021. “It’s hard to have nothing that’s yours. And when you are a person who lives in the public eye, everybody wants to pick over everything and that can be really tricky,” the False Positive actress told Entertainment Tonight at the time. “I also grew up in the early aughts when girls were raked over the coals for any choices that they made. And I just was like, ‘I don’t think I like this.’ I didn’t like having my private life lied about. There were times where someone would send through an article and be like, ‘Well, supposedly you’re dating t...
