West has sparked controversy with his comments about the president, in which he referred to Trump as his 'brother' and showed off his signed Make America Great Again baseball cap.
Trump once again praised West after the rapper declared his support for the Republican.
‘Kanye West gets it - when he sees African American unemployment is the lowest in history, you know, people are watching,’ Trump told a crowd of supporters in Washington Township, Michigan on Saturday.
The singer, who is known by the nickname Yeezus, also released a surprise track addressing his recent comments praising Trump.
