You can’t stump Kanye West!
So says… Kanye West.
The rapper took to Twitter on Saturday evening to clear up a point of contention that had been brewing for more than 24 hours after he went on Jimmy Kimmel Live! at the end of the week.

During the televised appearance, host Jimmy Kimmel confronted West directly about how the rapper could possibly support Donald Trump — especially if West felt, like he clearly did back in 2005, that other Republican president like George W. Bush don’t “care about black people.”
But when Jimmy asked the question, West didn’t answer — and there was a looooooooooong pause while Kanye tried to think about how it was rational to support The Donald right now.
Yeezy addressed the mini-controversy in a series of tweets yesterday evening, which you can see (below):
On Jimmy Kimmel we had a great time having a dialogue. I’m reading that I was stumped by a question. Let me clarify the click bait. I wasn’t stumped. I wasn’t given a chance to answer the question.

The question was so important I took time to think. And then I was hit with the let’s go to commercial break. That interview showed strong personalities with different opinions having a civil conversation.

I was so happy when I saw Jimmy walk out in the Yeezys. That was an olive branch. He lead with love. I appreciate Jimmy and his team. You guys are Jedi’s. much love.

Oh! Okay…
And Kimmel himself actually even responded, as well (below):
Not every question warrants an immediate answer. Some answers need to be considered and a talk show with time constraints is a difficult place to do that. I know how much Kanye cares and I am so impressed by what he is doing quietly and without fanfare to help those who need it https://t.co/wQBsE5v1v2
