Comedian DL Hughley and former NBA champion Matt Barnes aren’t here for Kanye West‘s White House visit. The duo have hit up social media to share their take on Ye gearing up for his President Donald Trump meeting.

On Wednesday, both Hughley and Barnes hit up Instagram with a trolling Yeezy meme.

This week, rap veteran Talib Kweli weighed-in on why he believes Kanye supports Trump.

Yesterday, Adidas CEO Kasper Rorsted reacted to news about his brand ambassador Kanye West supposedly meeting up with Trump in 48 hours.

“You know when you work with a creator like Kanye West, you don’t get mainstream. We’ve been extremely happy with our relationship with Kanye West. I’m meeting him Wednesday night for dinner. He’s been a fantastic ambassador for the company and he still will be. I don’t even know if he’s going to Trump but I’m having dinner with him Wednesday night and I’ve been very happy with our relationship. … We have a wide range of new models coming out next year and we think what we bring to the market next year with Kanye West is going to be really hot in the industry.” (CNBC)

A few hours prior, reports emerged about Kanye planning on meeting with Trump at the White House this Thursday.

Mr. West, who has faced a backlash over his vocal support of the president, will meet first with Mr. Kushner and then have lunch with the president, the two people said. Mr. Kushner, who serves as a senior adviser to Mr. Trump, has been focused on overhauling the criminal justice system, and one person briefed on the meeting said that Mr. West wanted to discuss the availability of job opportunities for former convicts. He also hopes to discuss with Mr. Trump how to increase the number of manufacturing jobs in the Chicago area, where Mr. West grew up and recently said he planned to return, according to the person briefed on the meeting.

  1. Trump does not “like” Kanye. Don’t get it twisted. Trump tolerates Kanye. Trump looks at Kanye like he looks at any other person of color. If Kanye wants to be Trumps Boy, let him be just that.
