Trump Calls Kanye West ‘Somebody’ Amid Controversy at Airport
URGENT UPDATE: In a surprising moment at Palm Beach International Airport, former President Donald Trump referred to rapper Kanye West as “somebody” during a live interview, sparking significant attention and debate. This incident occurred while discussing Trump’s controversial dinner with far-right commentator Nick Fuentes, reported just hours ago.
During the interview, Trump recounted a past encounter with Fuentes, which he attributed to West’s invitation at his Mar-a-Lago estate in 2022. However, he hesitated to mention West’s name initially, instead opting for the vague reference, “somebody.” Trump stated, “I didn’t know he was coming, and he was with, as you know, somebody. Kanye. Kanye asked if he could have dinner, and he brought Nick,” as reported by TMZ.
This awkward reference highlights the ongoing complexities surrounding Trump’s relationships with controversial figures. The former President continued, emphasizing the nature of political discourse: “Meeting people, talking to people — like for somebody like Tucker, that’s what they do. You know, people are controversial. Some are; some aren’t. I’m not controversial, so I like it that way.”
Trump’s remarks come in the wake of a heated backlash against Tucker Carlson for his interview with Fuentes in October 2025, which has ignited fierce debates within conservative circles over the implications of such associations. In defending Carlson, Trump stated, “We’ve had some great interviews with Tucker Carlson, but you can’t tell him who to interview.”
He further added that it is up to the public to make their own judgments: “If he wants to interview Nick Fuentes — I don’t know much about him, but if he wants to do it, get the word out, let him. You know, people have to decide.”
The fallout from Carlson’s interview has raised serious questions about the boundaries of political discussion, especially regarding figures linked to extremist views. This latest development not only highlights Trump’s ongoing engagement with controversial personalities but also underscores the evolving landscape of political commentary in America.
As this story develops, observers are closely watching the reactions from both the public and political analysts regarding Trump’s comments and their potential impact on his political future. The dynamic between Trump, West, and Fuentes continues to be a focal point in understanding the broader implications of these associations in today’s political climate.
