Fans booed Kanye West at a concert in San Jose on Thursday when the hip hop star proclaimed his support of President-elect Donald Trump.
"I told you I didn't vote. But what I didn't tell you is that if I had voted, I would have voted on Trump," West told the crowd.
“Everybody told me not to say that I loved the debates, I loved his approach,” he continued.
He even went as far as to call Trump a “genius.”
But his fans, who came to hear the star’s music, were more than a little annoyed that he kept interrupting songs to go on political rants. Here’s a glimpse at some of the many topics he covered during the show.
"This is my platform and I'm going to talk about the paradigm shift that's happening right now."

Oh, and he also talked more about how he plans to run for president in 2020, which he initially announced back in August 2015.
