Kanye West appeared on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” on Thursday (Aug. 9), where he addressed his support for Donald Trump, but there was one question that seemingly left him speechless.
“You so famously and so powerfully said George Bush doesn’t care about black people. It makes me wonder, what makes you think that Donald Trump does or any people at all?” asked Kimmel.
West sat silently pondering an answer before Kimmel cut to commercial.
But Kanye later addressed his silence on Twitter. “I’m reading that I was stumped by a question,” he said. “Let me clarify the click bait. I wasn’t stumped. I wasn’t given a chance to answer the question.”
He explained that he needed more time to answer. “The question was so important I took time to think. And then I was hit with the let’s go to commercial break. That interview showed strong personalities with different opinions having a civil conversation.”
Following his tweets, many critics including G-Eazy took to Twitter to demand an answer. “We’re all still waiting on your answer, the floor is yours,” tweeted the “No Limit” rapper.
G-Eazy has been outspoken about Trump prior to him taking office, and appeared on the remix to YG’s anti-Trump anthem “FDT (F**k Donald Trump),” where he blasted the now President of the United States.
“This man’s not peaceful / Racism is evil,” he raps on “FDT, Pt. 2.” “This man hates Muslims / That’s a billion fuckin’ people / If truth be told, Donald is a terrorist / Reasons why the world’s got a problem with Americans.”
