John Legend and Kanye West are not friends anymore

Kanye West's support of Donald Trump proved "too much" for his friendship with John Legend. The two musicians used to be close friends but the 'All of Me' hitmaker admitted his pal's public backing for the controversial former president, as well as the 'Stronger' rapper's own run for office means he has stepped away from his pal and they don't have the bond they used to.

Speaking on 'The Axe Files' podcast, John said: “Well, you know, we aren’t friends as much as we used to be because I honestly think because we publicly disagreed on his running for office, his supporting Trump, I think it became too much for us to sustain our friendship, honestly. " Explaining how Kanye was upset not to get his support when he ran for president, John added: “I wasn’t alone in that, but, you know, he was not happy about that.

And we really haven’t been close since then. " But the 43-year-old singer still respects the way his former friend lives his life with honesty.

He said: “I think he’s been very open with who he is and his struggles with mental health. And he’s very real, honestly. So I think there’s not a lot about him that people don’t get. "Like he’s been pretty upfront with his opinions, his struggles, all the things that he’s dealing with.
