The unspoken reason people are so upset about Kanye West and Chance the Rapper’s latest political tweets

TwitterFacebook

We need to talk about Kanye Omari West. 

In anticipation of any new project of his, Kanye does what he does best — he hops online to ruffle up feathers and cause headlines to scream nothing but his name for weeks (remember the Taylor Swift/Kim Kardashian phone leaks before The Life of Pablo rolled out?).

While he claims that all he does is out of “love” and “free-thinking,” many fans have chosen to pivot away from the rapper — but it’s not because of what party he aligns himself with. Things have switched for a more sinister reason.  Read more…
