Kanye West has rubbed plenty of people the wrong way lately.

But the outspoken rapper has at least one fan in actor Will Smith, who praised the Gold Digger rapper in an interview with Rap Radar on Wednesday.

'He’s willing to take the smashdown in order to push ideas,' said the 49-year-old Fresh Prince Of Bel Air actor.

Speaking of Kanye's willingness to embrace Donald Trump, the Ali actor said:

'That’s what I love about Kanye right now. He’s willing to take the smashdown in order to push ideas.'

'He’s making people think, even in the twisted, backhanded success of Donald Trump.'

Last month Kanye opened up to the New York Times, admitting that he contemplates suicide 'all the time.'

The Famous hitmaker explained: 'I'm just having this epiphany now, 'cause I didn't do it, but I did think it all the way through.

'But if I didn't think it all the way through, then it's actually maybe more of a chance of it happening.'

He also revealed he feared his reality star wife would leave him following his now infamous rant on TMZ Live in which he said slavery over 400 years 'sounds like a choice.'
