T. I. said that Kanye invited him to the White House today but he declined.<\/b>
\nThere are a range of opinions of Kanye West\u2019s controversial visit to the White House, but few were as calculated and impassioned as T. I.\u2019s. The Atlanta rapper, who just dropped his tenth album, had been one of Mr. West\u2019s few figures of support in the wake of his MAGA turn.
The two collaborated on \u201c Ye Vs. The People \u201d this April \u2014 and apparently, T. I. is one of the people. Kanye\u2019s chummy meeting with President Trump, which was in part to celebrate a music modernization initiative, was too much for T. I., who unloaded on Kanye on Instagram. He noted that he was \u201ctrying to be patient\u201d with his friend and frequent collaborator\u2019s pro-Trump rhetoric \u201cand made it a point to not jump to any premature conclusions about Ye & his antics,\u201d but watching Kanye hug Trump was some \u201cnext level, futuristic Sambo, Hopping Bob, Stephen off Django ass sh*t\u201d that he couldn\u2019t stand.
He divulged that Kanye invited him to come along to the White House, but T. I. said no to what he believes turned into one of the most \u201cembarrassing acts of desperation & auctioning off of one\u2019s soul to gain power\u201d he\u2019s seen. Kanye has been extolling Trump and saying his MAGA hat makes him feel like a superhero for months, but apparently today\u2019s visual of them together \u2013 a stark contrast from his stoic, post-mental breakdown appearance at the Trump Tower in January 2017 \u2013 was too jarring for many like T. I. Who knows if the lines of communication will remain open between Troubleman and Kanye West, but Kanye can\u2019t say he doesn\u2019t know exactly how T. I. feels about him.<\/p>\n
