“Made me smile&#8221;: Kanye West Gives Donald Trump His Seal of Approval for Using His Chartbuster at Sneaker Con

Kanye West [https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/kanye-west] and Donald Trump’s
backing for each other has once again reemerged in the spotlight. The
ex-president ventured to Philadelphia to peddle his latest creation, the Trump
Sneakers, at Sneaker Con. Despite his efforts, he faced a chorus of boos.
However, the situation took a turn when Kanye West’s hit from the first volume
of ‘Vultures’, ‘Carnival’, started playing in the background. Touched by this
unexpected gesture, Ye took to his Instagram to share the video of Trump using
his chartbuster.

The ‘Donda’ rapper wrote “This made me smile“, in the caption. The use of Kanye
West’s song at the event, amidst the rapper’s ongoing album controversies,
demonstrated the deep-rooted support they have for each other. Ye has recently
been in a lot of trouble due to accusations of him sampling songs without
authorization. From Donna Summer to Ozzy Osbourne, celebs have taken aim at him,
leading streaming giants like Apple Music and iTunes to pull ‘Vultures’ from
their platforms.

Despite the album’s distribution hurdles, Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign’s
collaborative effort soared on the US albums chart via Hits Double Daily,
notching up 153,000 in sales. The ‘Graduation’ maestro also had a heart-to-heart
with $ign

giving him a much-needed boost during these tough times. However, $ign is not
the only one getting Ye’s rock-solid support and encouragement.

The Grammy-winning rapper also gave a nod of support to Donald Trump in the 2024
US presidential election.


KANYE WEST WANTS DONALD TRUMP TO BE HIS RUNNING MATE

The 2024 presidential election is months away, but the race is already heating
up among the contenders. Amid all the election buzz, Kanye West has come out
swinging for Team Trump. When a reporter asked him on February 13 if he is
backing the former president’s White House comeback bid in November, West did
not hold back, saying “Yeah, of course, it’s Trump all day”.

In a tweet posted in 2022, Kanye West revealed that he had reached out to former
US President Donald Trump to be his “running mate” for the 2024 presidential
elections. Ye also shared his intentions of running for president in 2024. Ever
since his return, West has been calling out those who did not have his back, and
considering his evident support of Trump, there is a chance that the former
president may have lent some words of support to West during his time away.
