If you had the chance to observe the unsavory rant Kanye West proceeded to spout, in spite of his friends unfollowing him, then you may feel like you’re in a nightmare. But I assure you, that was very real.

On a spooky April night, Kanye West did the unthinkable. He publicly advocated his support for Trump. If you were a real fan of his you are probably shocked to see your hero agreeing with this man.

Sadly, on April 25th at 12:38 PM, you were probably casually scrolling down your feed on your lunch break. While you were eating lunch you had the treat of seeing Kanye tweet a picture of his signed MAGA hat. After the general surprise of such a thing the question, “why would he do this?” floated through your mind. He knows a large amount of his fan base does not agree with Trump’s policies yet, he still did it anyway.

In Kanye West’s defense, he is a free thinker. Meaning what? I don’t know. But, he swears up and down that accepting Trump is the best way to go about love in this world. We don’t all happen to agree though since he did happen to lose 9 million followers after he tweeted the picture of the signed MAGA hat.

The most important thing about all of this controversy is how everyone felt differently about these dastardly tweets. Some people felt it was fine, some people disowned Kanye, others felt like it was a ploy to gather attention for his new album and it’s all fake. Either way, we will never know what goes on in the mind of Kanye West.

But, this is how your zodiac sign personally felt after reading these horrid tweets,

1. ARIES (March 21 – April 19)



Aries, Mr. West’s vote of confidence for Trump’s views may have pushed you to block or mute him with a swiftness. His distasteful tweets might have pushed your short temper to its breaking point, making you lose your faith in Kanye at that moment. Of course, you will probably check in again to see if he is of sane mind. Because of your forgiving nature, you allow pretty much everyone, including Kanye, a second chance. But all in all, he betrayed your trust and that is not something you take very lightly.

2. TAURUS (April 20 – May 20)



Taurus, you are one of the people who absolutely refuse to believe Kanye would do such a thing. He had to do it just for attention, right? There’s no way he would betray our trust, right? Well, denial has always been a strong suit of yours. That uncompromising attitude you have makes you a lifelong fan and an amazing supporter. However, trying to accept his change has been a rocky road for you and a very tough pill to swallow. Who knows? He might come back as the hero on top again. But, in the meantime, you keep telling yourself those haters, “Can’t Tell Me Nothing.”

3. GEMINI (May 21 – June 20)



Gemini, you are one of the most accepting zodiac signs out there. I mean, what sign do you think Kanye is? I’ll give you a hint, it rhymes with hemini. You believe in the easier path of acceptance because you can’t bring yourself to decide if you actually like someone or not. The enlightened thinker is the path you would rather take than the one who shoots down someone’s arguments solely off superficial details. You are the embodiment of a free thinker and giving someone a chance instead of writing them off immediately is what you’re best at. But, if your mind is set on Kanye being wrong then it’ll take a well-researched argument to change that.

4. CANCER (June 21 – July 22)



Reading Kanye West’s tweets probably broke your heart, Cancer. If you’ve been following his music since his early years then seeing him switch up like this has left you in a pool of confusion. You are deeply loyal and easily attached to those you care about. Even if they don’t reciprocate that attachment. Seeing these tweets was like losing a best friend to you, no doubt. If the real Kanye comes back you’ll have no problem accepting him again. Because that’s how big your capacity for love is, not everyone is able to forgive others like you can.

5. LEO (July 23 – August 22)



Leo, the sheer and utter shock of finding out a legend like Kanye West stooping so low to gather attention has rattled you to your core. Your passionate and dramatic attitude only made the hurt 10 times worse than usual. Those 5 seconds of hurt won’t last long though since his tweets have nothing to do with you. Since you are a born leader, you learned some lessons from his posts. The most you got out of his tweets is what not to do when you become rich, famous and powerful. Besides, caring about something that does not directly affect you is irrelevant, don’t you think?

6. VIRGO (August 23 – September 22)



You know Kanye’s patterns, you know his songs and how his own words can contradict what he raps about. You’ve already determined he will never fully align with Trump’s policies because that’s just not who he is. To be honest, you’re appalled he would even take a stance like that for everyone on social media to see. But, Virgo, your immaculate critical thinking and analysis skills grant you the insight you need in times like this. Too bad he already made the statement that he can’t be managed so you’ll just have to deal with his sloppy public image.

7. LIBRA (September 23 – October 22)



Kanye’s tweets have nothing to do with you, right? You’re already not a fan of conflict nor are you a fan of making decisions. So, staying away from the mix is your best choice. He makes great music, regardless, and until he voices his hate for people of a certain race or background you won’t be deleting his albums anytime soon. You don’t like injustice but you also have a very open mind and weighing the options (Libra joke) can turn out to be pretty difficult.

8. SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21)



You strongly believe that Kanye’s recent statements are terribly inaccurate. I mean, he’s agreeing with Trump and that is clear-as-day wrong. You love facts and you hate lies so, at this moment, Kanye West is not someone you can easily respect. You’d let him know how you felt if you had his number, that’s for sure. You are so passionate and assertive that you know how to rein in all your friends who get out of line. But would you be able to handle the eccentric Kanye West? That’s a challenge best suited for you, Scorpio.

9. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 21)



Sagittarius, you are passionate, open-minded and you can get into a verbal tussle with almost anyone. So, seeing everyone’s favorite rapper spew off complete nonsense only boils your blood. You could fight with someone on a train about how underfunded the public education system is or why Planned Parenthood is essential. This only means sharing your opinion on a rapper with misguided intentions is going to be effortless and pretty simple. You might have even tweeted a rant in response to his rant. You strive for equality and you want justice for those who treat others unfairly. Honestly, your assertive manner and positive attitude would make you a great, well-intentioned lawyer.

10. CAPRICORN (December 22 – January 19)



Just like the Capricorn, John Legend, you don’t see the point of such outrageous outbursts. Capricorns are the master of self-control and you can tell by John Legend’s concerned texts that they all understand the importance of upholding an image. Witnessing the debacle of Kanye West probably made you cringe to the utmost extent. It wasn’t because he was sharing his views though, it was because he was doing it in the worst way possible. If anything, he could learn a trick or two from a fellow Capricorn.

11. AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 18)



Aquarius, you are the very conflicted by Kanye West’s tweets. You can see the truth in his message and you love the truth. Unfortunately, you hate inequality and Trump is all about inequality. So, deciding whether to block Kanye or just sweep his posts under the rug is weighing on your conscience. You love a good revolution but the loss of a musical icon like Kanye, who calls out the world for how it truly is, would be quite upsetting. What to do? Your desire for intellectual stimulation and your passion for taking down the establishment is creating a mental tug of war in your mind.

12. PISCES (February 19 – March 20)



Your artistic, creative side sees the benefit of Kanye pushing the boundaries of what we’re used to. just like your fellow Pisces, Tyler, The Creator, whose entire early image was built on violently breaking down those same boundaries. However, the more spiritual side of you can make you shy away from backing someone who backs Trump. Good karma exists for you and supporting someone who supports inequality just sounds like a load of bad juju. However, the artist in you sees the genius of his ways and that kind of makes you feel going against your own beliefs. If anything, you’ll keep your love for his music deeply under wraps.
