Kanye West deleted all of his tweets defending his meeting with President Donald Trump sometime between Sunday night and Monday morning.
West, who met with Trump at Trump Tower in December, explained his meeting with the then-President-elect in the series of now-deleted tweets amid intense backlash from fans and friends like John Legend.
“I wanted to meet with Trump today to discuss multicultural issues,” West tweeted on December 13.
“These issues included bullying, supporting teachers, modernizing curriculums, and violence in Chicago,” he added.
“I feel it is important to have a direct line of communication with our future President if we truly want change,” he continued in a third tweet.
As criticism mounted, West appeared unfazed a day later when he tweeted a picture a signed copy of TIME Magazine’s “Person of the Year” issue with Trump on the cover.
“To Kanye You are a great friend Thanks,” the front cover reads, followed by Trump’s signature.
This tweet has also been deleted.
West’s representatives did not immediately respond to a CNN request for comment.
