Another day, another Kanye rant. The rapper can never keep his foot out of his mouth and this time, he’s gone too far. During a Saint Pablo show in San Jose, California, Kanye stopped performing to tell fans that he didn’t vote in the presidential election, but if he had, he would have voted for Donald Trump. The rapper said, “I said something that was kind of politically correct. I told y’all I didn’t vote, right? What I didn’t tell you… but if I were to have voted, I would have voted on Trump.”

The crowd immediately began to boo the rapper and some even started throwing things. One Twitter user, @RaptorJesuss, documented the whole thing as it was happening. Kanye continued telling fans that Black people need to get over racism because “we’re a racist f—king country — period” and neither candidate would have fixed that.

According to some concertgoers, ‘Ye spent much of the show talking about his political views, causing many to walk out early. Is this the final nail in Kanye’s coffin? Is ‘Ye officially canceled? We’ll see.
