Kim Kardashian West was “embarrassed” by Kanye West’s recent outburst.
The 41-year-old rapper landed himself in hot water over the weekend when he went on a rant about President Donald Trump – whom he has supported since he won the 2016 presidential election – during his appearance on ‘Saturday Night Live’ but, although his wife was shocked by his behaviour, she’s reportedly promised she’ll stick by him “no matter what” because he’s entitled to his opinion.
A source told People.com: “Having all this backlash against Kanye is embarrassing for her and her family, but she will never say that. She supports Kanye through and through and truly thinks her husband is entitled to his own opinion.”
Lana Del Rey thinks Kanye West needs an “intervention.” The ‘Young and Beautiful’ hitmaker may have performed at the 41-year-old rapper’s pre-wedding ceremony when he married Kim Kardashian West in France four years ago, but that didn’t stop her from lashing out at him after he suggested that America should abolish the constitutional amendment that outlaws slavery.
Taking to her Instagram account, she fumed: “Trump becoming our president was a loss for the country but your support for him is a loss for the culture. I can only assume you relate to his personality on some level. Delusions of grandeur, extreme issues with narcissism — none of which would be a talking point if we weren’t speaking about the man leading our country. If you think it’s alright to support someone who believes it’s OK to grab a woman by the p**** just because he’s famous, then you need an intervention as much as he does, something so many narcissists will never get because there just isn’t enough help for the issue. ”
Her comments came as a direct response to a post from Kanye who posed in a red ‘Make America Great Again’ baseball cap alongside the controversial message.
this represents good and America becoming whole again. We will no longer outsource to other countries. We build factories here in America and create jobs. We will provide jobs for all who are free from prisons as we abolish the 13th amendment. Message sent with love pic.twitter.com/a15WqI8zgu

After facing backlash for his tweet, the star clarified his position on the issue.
the 13th Amendment is slavery in disguise meaning it never ended We are the solution that heals

Earlier this year, Kanye caused controversy when he claimed in an interview that 400 years of slavery “sounds like a choice”. The rap star – who has kids North, five, Saint, two, and eight-month-old Chicago with Kim – said: “When you hear about slavery for 400 years: for 400 years, that sounds like choice. You was there for 400 years. And it’s all of y’all?”
Trump has taken to Twitter to respond to Kanye’s controversial stance.
Like many, I don’t watch Saturday Night Live (even though I past hosted it) – no longer funny, no talent or charm. It is just a political ad for the Dems. Word is that Kanye West, who put on a MAGA hat after the show (despite being told “no”), was great. He’s leading the charge!
