Donald was clearly a fan of Kanye’s message, re-tweeting him and adding, ‘Thank you Kanye, very cool!’

“I am thrilled to see someone like [West] have the courage”, he said on WMAL radio in Washington, “because it takes a lot of courage to go against the grain and have people say terrible things about you”.
Kanye explained why he made the decision to post their text thread to show that there was a contentious but respectful discourse between the two of them. He will also be producing projects for Pusha T, Teyana Taylor and Nas.
