Kanye West has made a lot of controversial tweets in the past, but his recent ones highlighting his love and support for President Donald Trump has gotten a lot of people upset.

You don't have to agree with trump but the mob can't make me not love him. We are both dragon energy. He is my brother. I love everyone. I don't agree with everything anyone does. That's what makes us individuals. And we have the right to independent thought.

Far too many people don't have the luxury of closing their eyes and ears. They feel it in their lives and can't act like what they see and know doesn't exist.

Kanye decided to respond to the tweets made by “All of Me” singer John Legend with “love.”

Kanye’s wife, Kim Kardashian, also posted a series of tweets and called out the people who were quick to label Kanye with a mental illness. She said her husband is a “free thinker,” and having him state his opinion does not automatically mean something is wrong with him.

To the media trying to demonize my husband let me just say this... your commentary on Kanye being erratic & his tweets being disturbing is actually scary. So quick to label him as having mental health issues for just being himself when he has always been expressive is not fair
— Kim Kardashian (@KimKardashian) April 25, 2018

Yesterday it was announced that Kanye had parted ways with some business people and media outlets made this about Kanye’s mental health. Rather than just a simple business decision. So I’m glad he tweeted about the state of his company and all of the exciting things happening

He’s a free thinker, is that not allowed in America? Because some of his ideas differ from yours you have to throw in the mental health card? That’s just not fair. He’s actually out of the sunken place when he’s being himself which is very expressive
— Kim Kardashian (@KimKardashian) April 25, 2018

Now when he spoke out about Trump... Most people (including myself) have very different feelings & opinions about this. But this is HIS opinion. I believe in people being able to have their own opinions,even if really different from mine
He never said he agrees with his politics
— Kim Kardashian (@KimKardashian) April 25, 2018

Kanye will never run in the race of popular opinion and we know that and that’s why I love him and respect him and in a few years when someone else says the same exact thing but they aren’t labeled the way he is and you will all praise them! Kanye is years ahead of his time
— Kim Kardashian (@KimKardashian) April 25, 2018

Mental Health is no joke and the media needs to stop spitting that out so casually. Bottom line

Kanye has really been drawing a lot of negative attention on himself lately, and a source told People that the singer is actually a ticking time bomb that his wife is trying to contain. The source explained that Kim is always quick to defend Kanye and “divert people,” but it is only a matter of time before he explodes because of his “eccentric and erratic” behavior.

“She is always loving towards Kanye, always concerned with whatever he’s concerned about, always in his corner,” the source said. “Kim is trying to control him and the situation, but he can’t be controlled. She’s trying her best to support him on social media and show a different side of things, but it’s just not working.”

The source added that Kanye enjoys stirring the pot and causing trouble, and while he genuinely loves his wife, he does not consider her to be on the same league as him.

“He genuinely believes he’s [a] god and a genius and that he can do everything on his own. He has a great love for Kim, but in his mind he doesn’t think Kim is a genius, and he’s telling her he knows what he’s doing,” added the source.
