Rap superstar Kanye West is set to give a major television interview Thursday with Jimmy Kimmel–and the elephant in the room is his support for President Trump.
West shocked many of his fans in April by vocalizing his support for Trump, even tweeting out a photo of him wearing the signature “Make America Great Again” hat.

President Trump responded to his enthusiastic support:
Thank you Kanye, very cool! https://t.co/vRIC87M21X

Kanye also tweeted:
my wife just called me and she wanted me to make this clear to everyone. I don’t agree with everything Trump does. I don’t agree 100% with anyone but myself.

Free thinkers don’t fear retaliation for your thoughts. The traditional thinkers are only using thoughts and words but they are in a mental prison. You are free. You’ve already won. Feel energized. Move in love not fear. Be afraid of nothing.

You don’t have to agree with trump but the mob can’t make me not love him. We are both dragon energy. He is my brother. I love everyone. I don’t agree with everything anyone does. That’s what makes us individuals. And we have the right to independent thought.

If your friend jumps off the bridge you don’t have to do the same. Ye being Ye is a fight for you to be you. For people In my life the idea of Trump is pretty much a 50 50 split but I don’t tell a Hillary supporter not to support Hillary
I love Hillary too.— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) April 25, 2018
I love when people have their own ideas. You don’t have to be allowed anymore. Just be.
Love who you want to love. That’s free thought. I’m not even political. I’m not a democrat or a republican

And also I’m all the way out the sunken place. And I’m not scared anymore. I’m not scared of the media. I’m not scared of the past and I’m optimistic about the future. This tweet is in love not fear.

with love I am invincible. Truth is subjective but love is the most powerful force in the world and the world needs to express more of it.

The music star’s support for Trump will certainly be a major point of discussion with Kimmel.
