Ye said in an interview that aired on Friday that his relationship with Obama waned after he deviated from what he was supposed to say.
During a talk with Tucker Carlson, Ye, formerly known as Yeezus, talked about his long history with Obama, who was a United States Senator from Illinois before he was elected president in 2008.
The rapper said he was the favorite artist of the president. Obama met with my mother and me to ask for the support of his campaign.
Everyone was in favor of the idea of a black president. We were always fun to be around. It's similar. We don't know how many people are there. Is Obama level? Are you at the level? Are you talking about the level of Virgil? We cut through all the lines of racism with just black.
As Black men who were known around the globe and at the top of the political world and music world, respectively, they were at a high level.
He said that they would have to be friends and get along. You're like a race car driver. We were the best race car drivers of all time.
As soon as I wasn't saying what I was supposed to say as a rapper, our connection faded.
He didn't hesitate to say what he would do if the men talked in the future.
He will talk to the former president if he sees him. I assure you that he sees me.
On Saturday, the rapper tore into the founder of Facebook, accusing him of disabling his account and making anti-Jewish comments.
