Chicago mayoral candidate Amara Enyia has spoken up about Kanye West after the rapper contributed a major sum to her campaign.
Enyia spoke with the crew at The Breakfast Club the day before the election to discuss her plans on how to make the city better, and her connection to Kanye West, who made two separate donations to her campaign last year totaling around $200,000.
“He said he was thinking about coming back to Chicago,” Enyia said. “He wanted to give back to the city. He’s from the South Side, so he’s a native son, and when he was having conversations with folks as he was thinking about moving back that my name kept coming up.”
About meeting Kanye West, possibly through Chance the Rapper, she said, “I’ve been doing a lot of organizing work for years in the city, so he said he wanted to meet and talk about what we could do in Chicago. We met for the first time, and there was no talk about endorsement or support. It was all just talking about—he had this limitless vision about what could happen. It was actually really refreshing.”
On Kanye’s views about Trump, she said, “I asked him about the whole Trump thing because there was some controversy over, you know, what was going on with Donald Trump. But he told me he doesn’t support Trump’s views. He said I don’t support his views, but I believe that your platform, and your message, and who you are is what Chicago needs.”
And she said a lot more.
