“I think the thing that Trump was most perturbed about [at the dinner] — me asking him to be my Vice President,” West told Milo Yiannopoulos, a right-leaning political activist.

Ye also revealed that the former president was basically “screaming at him” and telling him that “he was going to lose.”

Several reports of Ye meeting the former president at his [Trump] Florida resort, Mar-a-Lago for dinner earlier this week surfaced on the internet, though Trump is yet to acknowledge if this meeting happened.

Ye on Wednesday asked his Twitter followers if he should ask Trump to be his running mate. Several news portals including The Jerusalem Post have assumed that Ye will ask for a Vice President bid as Trump has already announced his own presidential run earlier this month.

Ye has launched a campaign on Twitter for his presidential run, as the rapper has posted several videos with the caption #YE24.

Ye accompanied his Twitter posting spree with a screenshot, which reveals that he also invited Nick Fuentes, an alt-right white supremacist to the dinner. Fuentes was spotted along with Ye at the Miami airport. Though according to Politico and Daily Beast, Fuentes was absent from the dinner feast with Trump.

Ye has openly supported Trump, even visiting the White House during his term, with a MAGA hat.

Ye’s presidential run in 2022 was not a successful one, he was able to get ballot in states like Michigan, Florida, and Pennsylvania, he was able to get only 60,000 votes out of the 160 Million, according to BBC.

Ye has emerged as a controversial figure, owing to his anti-semitic statements in the past and his endorsement of the White Lives Matter slogan.
