Kanye West is on the receiving end of a ton of heavy criticism after coming out in support of Donald Trump. Thursday night, the rapper stopped his concert several times to express his support for Trump and his debate style. He also talked about how his show brought voters from both sides together and that fans who voted for either candidate were safe at his show.
However, the biggest blow came right after he told the audience, "I didn't vote but if I did, I would have voted for Trump" and the audience broke out in "boos" for West. That backlash has only continued Friday as news of West's statements make the rounds around the internet. Of course, the immediate reaction for some was to crack jokes.
Other reactions, like from Black Lives Matter activist DeRay Mckesson, critiqued the rapper's comments.
A number of reactions include people saying they are going to boycott the rapper.
Meanwhile, some wondered how long an actual boycott of Kanye would even last.
