Lots of people had strong reactions to Kanye West's comments praising President Donald Trump during their White House meeting on Thursday.
And then there's T.I.
The Atlanta rapper, who collaborated with 'Ye on the 2006 track "Swagga Like Us," publicly unfriended West in an NSFW Instagram post.
"At
one time it was a pleasure to work alongside you... now, I’m ashamed to
have ever been associated with you," he wrote. "I’ve reached my limits.
This is my stop, I’m officially DONE!!!!"
T.I.
prefaced his essay by saying, "Now I’ve been extremely patient and made
it a point to not jump to any premature conclusions about Ye’ & his
antics," adding that he'd mishandled similar incidents involving his
brother. "But now this (expletive) is next level, futuristic Sambo,
Hopping Bob, Stephen off Django (expletive)...Ye!!!!"
The
rapper, whose real name is Clifford Harris Jr., revealed he'd turned
down West's invitation to join him at the White House and called the
meeting the "most repulsive, disgraceful, embarrassing act of
desperation & auctioning off of one’s soul to gain power I’ve ever
seen." (Had he gone and West had behaved that "spinelessly," T.I. said
he would have felt "compelled to slap the (expletive) out of you, bro –
for the people!")
After
accusing West of "bootlicking on a whole new level," he declared, "I
refuse to associate myself with something so vile, weak,&
inconsiderate to the effect this has on the greater good of ALL OUR
PEOPLE!!!!"
Next he addressed Kanye fans: "To all
the people who follow Ye musically, socially, or even personally....who
are confused, heartbroken, infuriated.... Let me make this clear... THIS
(expletive) AINT COOL!!!"
The bottom line: "WE ARE NOT ON HIS MIND AS HE MAKES THESE COMMENTS AND DECISIONS. Don’t follow this puppet."
Before
dropping the mic, T.I. declared, "As long as I’ve lived I’ve learned
that it benefits a man nothing at all to gain the world, if to do so, he
must lose his soul. We just saw Mr.West’s soul on auction. If you
listen closely you can hear the tears of our ancestors hit the floor."
