Kanye West Meets The Donald At Trump Tower! The President-Elect Embraces His 'Friend' And Escorts Him Out After Meeting As Ivanka Looks On

Kanye West swept into the lobby of Trump Tower in a move which suggests he is meeting Donald Trump. The rapper was followed by an entourage which included a videographer but did not say what he was doing there. The 39-year-old, who until recently had been recovering from a nervous breakdown in hospital in Los Angeles, was taken upstairs. It is unclear if he is meeting Trump or another member of the transition team, or part of the Trump business empire. Trump's transition team is currently looking for performers at the inauguration on January 20, and the addition of one of rap's biggest names would clearly be a huge coup.


As Kanye left Trump said: 'Man, you take care of yourself, I'll see you soon.'
It was a reference to the rapper's hospitalization due to a nervous breakdown. 
Trump had also brought his daughter Ivanka down to see off West and she was to the side as they embraced. 

The rapper had swept into Trump Tower with an entourage which included his mother-in-law's 35-year-old boyfriend shortly after 9am for the meeting with the man he recently called a 'genius'.

TMZ reported that the meeting was at Kanye's request and that Trump had agreed to it.

Trump's inaugural committee is hoping to attract some star power to the presidential inauguration in January, but efforts are reportedly coming up short.
A Hollywood source told TheWrap that the inaugural committee was talking to Kid Rock, Ted Nugent, Lee Greenwood and possibly Garth Brooks, who told TMZ that he's open to the idea of performing.
