Donald Trump discussed Kanye West during an interview with Adin Ross on Monday afternoon, labeling the controversial rapper a "really nice guy" but admitting he's a "complicated" person. 

The topic of West arose while Ross asked for his input on several celebrities. "He’s very complicated," Trump said. 

"He’s a really nice guy, but he can get himself into trouble and get some other people, but you know. He’s got a good heart, he does. But he’s complicated."

Trump and West have been on good terms for years. 

West famously met with the former President in 2018, which sparked ample backlash from his fanbase. 

After Ye began attempting to run for the presidency himself, their relationship went through a bit of a rough patch. 

Following the rapper's antisemitic tirade on social media in 2022, Trump wrote on Truth Social that West was a "seriously troubled man."

West wasn't the only rapper Trump spoke about during the interview. 

He also discussed Young Thug and the YSL rapper's ongoing RICO trial. In doing so, he called on District Attorney Fani Willis to treat him fairly. 

Additionally, he accused the Democratic party of staging a coup against Joe Biden to replace him with Kamala Harris.

Ross' stream with Trump comes after he discussed the former President during an interview with YG over the weekend.
