Kanye West Admits He Didn't Vote

Hip-hop star Kanye West said he did not vote in the presidential election, but if he had, he would have voted for Donald Trump.

He made the comment during a concert at the SAP Center in San Jose, California, according to CNN, and many in the crowd booed.

A Twitter user posted video of the crowd's reaction:

Another Twitter user said it's no surprised West would support the president-elect, a former reality TV star.

This isn't surprising. Kanye loves sensationalism and wants influence- two things that Trump possesses. https://t.co/yXvWneH9mi

During MTV's Video Music Awards in 2015, West announced he was running for president in 2020.

According to the he New York Daily News, during a BBC interview, West said he didn't "have views on politics, I just have a view on humanity, on people, on (the) truth. If there is anything I can do with my time to somehow make a difference while I'm still alive, I'm all for it."
