Kanye West has wiped his Twitter account of all pro-Trump tweets. The Twitter purge, according to a report from TMZ, is because West is no longer a fan. West is reportedly "super unhappy" with Trump's White House performance, which thus far has centered on the widely condemned Muslim ban and the looming presence of former Breitbart chair Steve Bannon. West's most recent tweet was a sly bit of promo for Big Sean's new album I Decided:

West has faced continued backlash for the tweets, in addition to comments he made during the (eventually canceled) Saint Pablo Tour ahead of his perplexing meeting at Trump Tower:

In an interview with Clique in December, G.O.O.D. Music affiliate John Legend expressed his disappointment with West's actions. "I don't think it's impossible to talk to [Trump] about issues, but I won't be used as a publicity stunt," Legend said. "I think Kanye was a publicity stunt." Trump's message, Legend added, is "corrosive" to the nation. "Whatever's in [West's] mind, I disagree with him," Legend said.

For his first major event since the Saint Pablo cancelation and subsequent hospitalization, West will bring the debut of his Yeezy Season 5 collection to New York Fashion Week. The Pier 59 presentation, initially scheduled for Feb. 15 at 5 p.m., has since been bumped up to 3 p.m. following an apparent conflict with Marchesa's show.
