Kanye, Trump huddle at Trump Tower and discuss 'life'

Kanye West met with President-elect Donald Trump briefly at Trump Tower on Tuesday for what Trump described as a casual chat between old friends.

“Just friends, just friends and he’s a good man,” Trump said as the pair stood before reporters. “We’ve been friends for a long time.”

When asked what they discussed, Trump responded: “We discussed life.”

West ignored questions, including about whether he would perform at the inauguration.

“I just want to take a picture right now,” he said.

The two embraced before West left.

“You take care of yourself, I’ll see you soon,” Trump could be heard saying.

West was recently hospitalized after abruptly canceling his Saint Pablo Tour. In one of his last concerts before calling off the tour, West said he had not voted, but that he would have supported Trump if he had.

West has previously discussed, perhaps jokingly, a run for president of his own in 2020.

“I don’t have views on politics, I just have a view on humanity,” West said when discussing the possibility.
