After Kanye West posted an extended series of tweets on Wednesday that turned to the rapper vocally supporting President Trump, a number of prominent musicians either criticized or unfollowed West on Twitter.
Drake, Rihanna, and The Weeknd were among the many artists who, according to the Twitter analytics app Does Follow, unfollowed the rapper after West called Trump his "brother" in a tweet and tweeted a picture of himself wearing a red "Make America Great Again" hat.
Chance the Rapper, a frequent collaborator of West's, also drew criticism from left-leaning fans for being one of the few artists to defend West amid the controversy, and for tweeting, "Black people don’t have to be democrats."
Here are some of the artists who unfollowed West after or on the day of his tweets supporting Trump:
