Kanye West first voiced his support for Trump back in November. He was onstage for only three songs before he launched into a tirade. In the rant, he bashed Beyonce and, at the same time, praised Donald Trump. He cited his “futuristic” method of communication as a plus and bashed Hillary Clinton. He then stormed off stage, leaving fans angry and confused.
Later on, Kanye made his support known yet again. He met with Donald Trump in December at Trump Tower. After their meeting, Trump said, “We’ve been friends for a long time” and that they “discussed life.” Kanye later posted on Twitter that they were talking about “multicultural issues” like bullying and violence.
Clearly Kanye has been a voice of support for Donald Trump. So why did Trump burn him by not inviting him to the inauguration?

The B-Street Band pulled out of performing at the inauguration this week. Gwen Stefani, Celine Dion and Garth Brooks also supposedly declined to play. Kanye, on the other hand, wasn’t even invited.
