SAN JOSE (CBSLA.com) - Rapper Kanye West apparently wants to "Make America Great Again" - even though he also believes the U.S. is a "racist country".
The 39-year-old West revealed his support for President-elect Donald Trump during a show in San Jose as part of his Saint Pablo tour and was roundly booed by his fans.
"I told y'all I didn't vote, right, but I didn't tell you...but if I would've voted, I would have voted on Trump," said West.
West also praised Trump's campaign strategy as "absolutely genius because it f---ing worked". (WARNING: contains explicit language)

Some fans were seen leaving the venue during the repeated on-stage rants. One Twitter user even reported an unknown object was thrown onstage at West.
Someone threw something at Kanye that hit him, he's now threatening to cancel the show. "Am I not allowed to have an opinion?"
