On Saturday Night Live Kanye West performed a variety of different songs, including a song with Lil Pump; however, the performance was not the talk of the night.

The real controversy sparked when Kanye West went on a Donald Trump rant while sporting a MAGA hat. The response by the crowd was a mix of cheers and booing.

West later went on to say he was tired of being bullied for wearing his hat, and it was like his superman cape.

In the past Kanye West has been very vocal about his support for the current president, Donald Trump.

Many of Kanye’s peers have shared their disagreement to his comments. The President has made several racial and gender-based comments in the past which have not been perceived well in the public eye for most minorities.

After the SNL performance, many other celebrities took to social media to share their concerns with the things Kanye said on the show.
