One thing about opinions is that they are open to changes, especially if they are on social media. Once upon a time, as Ye formerly known as Kanye West
put his hat in the box to contest for the US Elections after having supported Donald Trump, he gained major backlash from around the entertainment industry and of course his fanbase who owing to the political circumstances at that point in time viewed his support as an attack to his black community. However, times have changed drastically since then, with even Elon Musk knocking on the rapper’s door with an apology.
After an X account initiated the question of whether or not Ye deserves an apology, owner of X and an on and off supporter of Ye was among the first to chime in and claim that “Kanye was right about MAGA
” referring to the Election campaign of the former President of the United States.
Kanye was right about MAGA

Musk’s belated apology comes at a time when he has been actively supporting Donald Trump for the upcoming US elections, a stance much different from his celebrity counterparts. Much like Ye, Elon Musk has held his ground against any backlash as he continues to support Trump, and by the looks of it, anyone who supports him, as well.
Fans who witnessed this acknowledgement of Ye’s genius by Elon Musk, were quick to state their opinions about other times they believed that Ye had been right.
Fan support for Ye grows as Elon Musk apologizes to the rapper
Do you think Kanye West deserves an apology for his political stance during the 2016 elections?
- Absolutely, he was ahead of his time
- No, his views were too controversial
- Maybe, but only for certain issues
- I don’t care about celebrity politics
He genuinely was. He may be wrong about other things but he was absolutely right about that.
