Kanye West’s public rant on NBC’s The TODAY Show last week has left fans divided, but at least two of the biggest names in the Rap World are voicing their support for the self-assessed egomaniac.
The “Golddigger” rapper found himself at the center of controversy — So what else is new? — when former George W. Bush hit the promo track ahead of the release of his latest book Decision Points.
