Kanye West's love for Donald Trump has confused many people, including most Democrats and a large percentage of his fanbase. Despite the public's disdain for the president, Kanye's been vocal about how much he appreciates Trump. However, Chief Keef is among the many people who are utterly confused about the relationship between the 'Ye and the 45th president of the U.S.A.

In a recent interview with The Daily Mirror, Chief Keef revealed that he appreciates Kanye West as a musician and showing him love in the past, but he can't seem to find how or why 'Ye and Donald Trump are friends.

"He has said nice things about me in recent interviews, the man is a true legend," he said before revealing his thoughts on Kanye West's political stance. "I am not a fan of Trump, I don’t understand that connection, but Kanye does what he wants."

Keef's statement about 'Ye doing what he pleases isn't shocking. In fact, it seems like a common sentiment among most people who've interacted with Kanye over the years. Despite this, Chief Keef is hoping that he'll be able to get together with Kanye West again soon.

"We’ve not spoken recently but maybe we soon will. I’d like to work with him," he said.

Kanye West is currently working on his project, Yandhi which is due out later next month. He's already revealed that XXXTENTACION and Tekashi 6ix9ine are set to feature on the project, as well as Nicki Minaj, Ty Dolla $ign, Kid Cudi, and Young Thug, who threatened to never speak to Kanye again if he didn't make the album.
