Kanye West Says 'He Would Have Voted Trump'; Calls America Racist

On Thursday night, Kanye West arrived late to his show in San Jose, California. When he came to the venue, he initially gave his insights about this year's presidential elections instead of performing a song.

"I told y'all I didn't vote right? But if I were to vote. I would've voted on Trump," he told his audience, who just booed him right away. West continued to on discuss why he would've voted for the already president-elect despite the crowd's objection according to Entertainment Tonight.

Kanye West called out Dave Chappelle's opinion about the elections during Chapelle's hosting gig at Saturday Night Live last week. West said, "Dave Chappelle, it's ok. We can have opinions as celebrities. I know you said we couldn't, but thank you for breaking the ice on a mentality of a generation."

The fans got more outraged when he talked about racism in the whole world. "Specifically to black people, stop focusing on racism. The world is racist, ok? Let's stop being distracted to focus on that as much. It's just a f---ing fact. We are in a racist country. Period...Not one or the other candidate was going to instantly change that," West stated to the crowd.

"I will take position in 2020 and do it myself," he confirms to the audience that he will still continue to run for president after he made the announcement on August 2016 MTV VMAs.His statements caused a stir among his fans and took to Twitter and expressed their dismay. Below are some of the tweets.

According to NBC News, some concertgoers said that West talked for 15 minutes to express his views. The others said that they altogether walked out of the venue. His wife, Kim Kardashian supported Hillary Clinton, together with her mom, Kris Jenner and sister Khloe Kardashian. The only Trump supporter of the famous family is Caitlyn Jenner. Below is a video from CNN reporting on West's remarks during the San Jose concert.
