This, I never cared for Kanye, especially the late Kanye,
his music got shittier, his stupid marriage to Kim. This guy was going around pretending he was the next messiah, claiming he was the greatest thing alive, holier than thou, self proclaimed God's gift to humanity...Selling rebranded Fruit of the Loom white Ts for $100 +
And now he's using terms like "we're all equal" "I'm just a man" he seems humbled a bit and needless to say going against the grain.
He also seems quite inspired by Trump's aggressive attitude towards presidency, that much seems clear... And as crazy as he may seem, I doubt he totally admires Trump for his ideals and values etc. I think he just likes the guy's attitude and aggressiveness.
As for him ripping off his own audience, I thought this was a very common behaivor for this guy, just two years ago, he canceled a concert in Vancouver and pissed off half of the floor at my work.
