On Tuesday (October 30th) Kanye West announced he was distancing himself from politics. In a series of tweets, the rapper said that he realized he was being used to “spread messages” he didn’t “believe in.” Kanye fans who want to enjoy his music guilt free let out a sigh of relief.
One person who seemed especially pleased is longtime friend and collaborator Talib Kweli. The veteran rapper posted Kanye’s tweet on his Instagram, with the caption #Welcomeback.
