Kanye West booed at a San Jose concert after revealing he is a Donald Trump supporter

US Rapper Kanye West was booed and whistled at a concert in San Jose, California on Thursday after he came out as a supporter of US President-elect Donald Trump. 

West told the crowd that he didn't vote in the presidential elections "but that if he did, he would have voted for Trump."

I wanted to say that before the election, but they told me, ''whatever you do, don't say that aloud, he said.

Not only did I not vote, but there were a lot of things I actually liked about Trump's campaign. His approach was f****** genius - because it worked, Kanye said. 

I hate the fact that because I'm a celebrity, everybody told me not to say that I loved the debates, West said.

I loved his approach, West added.

Kanye also went on to say that his support for Trump doesn't mean he doesn't believe in equality.

That don't mean I don't think that black lives matter. That don't mean that I don't believe in women's rights. That don't mean that I don't believe in gay marriage. That don't mean that I don't believe in these things,' he said. 

Kanye's drew jeers and boos from the crowd and according to the San Jose Mercury, some concert goers threw shoes and other articles of clothing up at the stage.
