Kanye West calls out President Trump in a rap

"Try to keep us quiet, cause riots / look at what the COVID's made / this hate," West raps on a track titled "This Is What the Covid's Made." "How about we change up the meal plan / how about we stop hiding in the bunkers and be a real man?" 

Kanye West's rap lyrics referred to the time when Trump was abruptly moved to the White House's underground bunker in May amid protests over the death of George Floyd. The black lives matter protest took place after a Black man died after police officer Derek Chauvin kneeled on his neck for almost nine minutes in Minneapolis. It happened on May 25, 2020.

This is a new banner self-styled by Kanye West with guidance from Elon Musk and an undisclosed vice-presidential candidate he has already chosen. In the same in the interview, Kanye said that is taking the red hat off. He told Forbes he has lost confidence in the commander in chief, Trump. He further stated that Trump looks like one big mess to him and that he doesn't like that he caught wind that Donald Trump hid in the bunker.
