Kanye Confronts Radio Host Who Revealed His Alleged Love Of Donald Trump

Kanye West practiced "pure love" on Tuesday (April 24) as soon as he called into Hot 97 to briefly chat with host Ebro Darden on the air. In a slightly tense exchange, Kanye repeatedly told Ebro, "I love you" over the phone, and even broke into a short bar of Stevie Wonder's "I Just Called To Mention I Love You." The call was likely in response to Ebro critiquing the Chicago rapper for his recent controversial tweets.


On Monday, Ebro described a 30-minute conversation he had with Kanye over the weekend, in which he claimed the Life of Pablo rapper stated, "I do love Trump." The contentious comments didn't stop there. Kanye also told Ebro he endorsed conservative commentator Candace Owen, because she challenges black thought.


The Hot 97 host potentially took matters also far whenever he revealed the alleged reason Kanye was hospitalized in 2016. "Nobody really showed love for me As soon as I was addicted to opioids and in the hospital," Kanye allegedly told Ebro throughout their original call.


Kanye calling Ebro live on his morning show is hopefully the culmination of their feud. The host did attempt to get West to play new music, although the rapper refused, saying he wanted to wait up until he might speak to Darden in person.


Overall, Kanye's return to Twitter has been nothing short of controversial. He's shared harmless updates about new music and tattoos, right next to posts falsely labeling slavery a trend. Kanye is clearly in provocation mode, and hopefully his new music can assist explain some of his more damaging tweets.


We're in need of a G.O.O.D. Friday to wash away this pain.
