Rapper Kanye West met with Donald Trump in New York on Tuesday, appearing briefly with the Republican president-elect in the Trump Tower lobby.

"Friends, just friends," Trump said, calling West "a good man" he's known for a long time. West declined to answer reporters' questions, saying, "I just want to take a picture right now."

West arrived with a small entourage, but his wife, businesswoman Kim Kardashian, was not with him. West was hospitalized for exhaustion last month after a series of rants and the cancellation of the remainder of his US tour.

The 39-year-old rapper made headlines in November when he was booed at his San Jose, California, concert for declaring his support for Trump.
