Kim Kardashian’s sisters unfollow Kanye West on Twitter as a host of stars also ditch rapper over his support for ‘my brother’ Donald Trump
KIM Kardashian's sisters Kourtney, Khloe and Kylie have cut ties with Kanye West on Twitter after the rapper posted messages in support of US President Donald Trump.
The sisters have seemingly been left unimpressed by the rapper's continual stream of tweets over the last two days, following a year-long absence from the platform.
They're not the only high profile names to boycott Kanye online, with Kanye's former collaborators Drake, Nicki Minaj, and Rihanna joining Justin Bieber, Harry Styles and Kendrick Lamar all unfollowing the controversial star.
The online exodus hasn't been missed by eagle-eyed social media users, with one writing on Twitter: "Zayn & Harry both unfollowed Kanye on Twitter. Kings.
Another said :"Rihanna, Drake, Katy, Ariana, Kendrick, Zayn, Nicki etc. all unfollowed Kanye 💀 he really ended himself :(."
While a third added: "Khloe, Kylie and Kourtney all unfollowed Kanye. Kris working hard today."
Kanye proved his bromance with Donald Trump is still going strong yesterday in a series of tweets.
Calling Trump "my brother," he claimed they both have "dragon energy". The President replied saying the rapper was "very cool".
Their most recent display of affection follows years of social media appreciation between Trump and the President.
The loved-up posts were rumoured to have cost the rapper nine million Twitter follows, but the claims have been proved false after Twitter confirmed Kanye still boasts around 27million followers.
Kanye, 40, tweeted: "You don’t have to agree with Trump but the mob can’t make me not love him."
He also shared a picture of a Make America Great Again cap and wrote: "My MAGA hat is signed", followed by a string of fire emojis.
Kanye's wife Kim Kardashian defended her husband by tweeting: "To the media trying to demonise 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."
The rapper also took potshots at Obama during the tweeting flurry, stating that nothing changed in Chicago during his presidency.
Combating backlash from anti-Trump protesters he also shared a picture of a post by Chance The Rapper which read: "Black people don't have to be Democrats."
Kanye continued that he loved free thinkers and showed alt-right supporter Peter Thiel.
The dad-of-three tweeted: "I'm so happy to hear that Peter Thiel would like to take a meeting. I feel very optimistic about the future."
Thiel is a controversial figure in American politics as he backs the alt-right and funded the Hulk Hogan case against Gawker Media for publishing a video of Hogan having sex.
The case saw an injunction placed on the footage being published and saw the media firm go bankrupt before being sold to another company.
A fan noticed Kanye's following seemed to have fallen after the series of Trump-loving tweets and wrote: "Kanye losing 9 million followers because of the Trump tweet."
But Twitter confirmed to "We can confirm that Kanye’s follower count is currently at approximately 27M followers.
"Any fluctuation that people might be seeing is an inconsistency and should be resolved soon."
