Ye went to Twitter Wednesday (October 3) to reveal his intention to have Colin and Donald chop it up.
reaching out to Colin Kaepernick. I would like you to speak with the president to tell him your experience directly. Let’s have a dialogue not a diatribe.

A few days ago, West raised eyebrows after donning a Trump-inspired Make America Great Again hat and Colin Kaepernick-bearing sweater.
Recently, Trump ripped sports apparel giant Nike for using Kaepernick in its Just Do It campaign.
Just like the NFL, whose ratings have gone WAY DOWN, Nike is getting absolutely killed with anger and boycotts. I wonder if they had any idea that it would be this way? As far as the NFL is concerned, I just find it hard to watch, and always will, until they stand for the FLAG!

In mid-May, music veteran Lyor Cohen talked about Sean’s G.O.O.D. Music boss Kanye West posting a pic of himself donning a MAGA hat.
“Isn’t that scuba for when you’re in the water and you’re all good?” he said. “We were [in Calabasas] because Kanye wanted to play us some music. I was on the way to the restroom and there was Lucian and Kanye was coming out, and he said, ‘Oh wow, we’re all together. Let’s take a photo.’ I thought he was going to take a photo and send it to Lucian and myself. I had no idea that he was going to put that on social media.” (Pitchfork)
