Legend And West Not Close Friends Anymore
Apparently, Joh Legend and Kanye West aren’t as close as they once were. In 2018, West took a public stance supporting President Donald Trump, to which Legend asked him to reconsider. In response, West tweeted out screenshots of the friends’ private text messages. The difference in their political opinions has lead to ups and downs in their friendship. However, Legend says that their political disagreements are not the cause of them growing apart.
In a recent interview, Legend talks about the current standing between them: “I don’t think we’re less friends because of the Trump thing. I just think we’re doing our own thing. He’s up in Wyoming. I’m here in LA. We’ve both got growing families and I no longer have a formal business relationship with him as an artist, so I think it’s just part of the natural cycle of life.” Furthermore, he says: “Obviously we disagreed on the Trump thing and we still do apparently. But what I’ve always said is, we never talked about politics before. It was never a part of our interaction. Our interaction was almost always about creativity and music. He’s also in a different place musically. He’s doing gospel music. That’s what he’s focused on right now, designing his clothes, so we’re in different places.”
