It seems there’s much more to Kanye West’s NYC visit than meetings about his fashion line — and showing off that blond hair. The rapper paid a visit to Trump Tower on Tuesday to get together
 with President-elect Donald Trump.

The “Famous” singer, who has expressed his own presidential ambitions, strode into the midtown Manhattan skyscraper, with an entourage, early in the morning. Kanye, who was without wife Kim Kardashian, walked by reporters on the way to Trump’s personal elevator, uttering only a “hey.”
After the private meeting — which Trump’s children Eric and Ivanka seemed to be on hand for — the rapper and the reality TV star turned politico came down together and posed for photos. Ivanka appeared to be beaming in the background. (Perhaps she’s a big Life of Pablo fan? Or maybe she’s a secret collector of Yeezy footwear.) NEW YORK, NY - DECEMBER 13: (L to R) President-elect Donald Trump and Kanye West stand together in the lobby at Trump Tower, December 13, 2016 in New York City. President-elect Donald Trump and his transition team are in the process of filling cabinet and other high level positions for the new administration.

“Friends, just friends,” Trump told reporters, who couldn’t get enough of the megawatt meeting, about their relationship. He called West, “A good man” and said he has known him for a long time. Kanye, who was hospitalized for exhaustion after melting down at a concert right before
Thanksgiving, wouldn’t comment, saying, “I just want to take a picture right now.” They ended with a hug.
Prior to his hospitalization, Kanye — who famously bragged that President Obama has his phone number — told a crowd of his concertgoers in San Jose, Calif., that he didn’t vote, but if he had, he would have voted for Trump. He was largely booed for his admission, with some throwing items at the stage. (Kim, whom he hasn’t been living with during his recovery, was a Hillary Clinton supporter.) While it’s unclear what “good man” Kanye and Trump really got together to discuss, one possibility is Kanye taking part in the inauguration — though with a watered-down PG performance. But the thing is, you never know quite what to expect with Kanye, and he could easily go off-track — as we’ve seen him do recently. However, Trump is a loose cannon himself, so he might appreciate that.
