Published 08/05/2024, 8:23 PM EDT

Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, has long been synonymous with controversy, sparking heated debates and public feuds throughout his career. Despite numerous fallouts, some high-profile figures, including Elon Musk and Donald Trump, have surprisingly defended or aligned themselves with the rapper. Ye, however, remains unbothered by the scrutiny surrounding his personal life. Speaking of which, his former ally, Donald Trump, recently made a notable comment about the ‘Donda’ artist, adding another layer to their complex relationship. 

With Ye's unapologetic attitude, Trump lays a candid remark while also going all praises for the 'Vultures' rapper, bringing back some good old times.

Former President Donald Trump made a dramatic entrance to Adin Ross' Kick stream at Mar-A-Lago. While speaking of a great many things, the presidential candidate commented on his old ally, Ye, in a candid gesture. Trump shared his thoughts on Ye, describing him as a complex individual who often finds himself in tumultuous situations. However, despite his controversial actions, he emphasized that "he's got a good heart," suggesting that Ye's intentions are ultimately kind and genuine.

The event began with Adin Ross arriving in a Trump-themed Cyber-truck featuring images of Trump from a recent assassination attempt at a rally in Pennsylvania. Walking into the room to the tune of 50 Cent's 'Many Men', Donald Trump also spoke of the stock market, and Google censorship while also promising to protect America’s favorite apps like TikTok, following a short dance with the streamer.

It all started the year Ye announced his 2020 presidential bid on the Fourth of July, marking a surprising turn in his already unconventional career. Pictures of Ye hugging the then President in the White House flooded the internet establishing them as a strong duo. The two initially harbored a close friendship, although unlikely, in contrast to Ye's strained relationships with former presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama.

The two formed such a nice bond that Trump once also sought Ye's help to unify the country while serving his term. However, in a July 2020 Forbes interview, Ye revealed a shift in his stance, stating he no longer supported Donald Trump and was "taking the red hat off" with that declaration. Nonetheless, the President has mostly spoken of the controversial rapper in a positive light like today.
