Publicist Worried Kanye West's Support Of Trump Will Damage His Carefully Crafted Public Image
LOS ANGELESExpressing concern over the fallout from several controversial tweets praising the president, Kanye Wests publicist was reportedly worried Thursday that the rappers support of Donald Trump would damage his carefully crafted public image as a manic, self-absorbed lunatic.
Christ, weve worked so hard to maintain this image of Kanye as an incredibly vain, impulsive madman, and now hes gone and ruined it all, said stressed-out publicist Tracy Nguyen Romulus, explaining that she was in the middle of a massive damage control campaign to counter the effects that Wests statements had on fans who had always seen the hip-hop star as paranoid, egotistical, and delusional.
Im concerned that when people think of Kanye now, theyll associate him with these tweets, and not as being a batshit narcissist who will say absolutely anything for attention. Not to mention Kanye went and linked himself to our deeply unpopular president, destroying the illusion that hes really just a deranged egomaniac absolutely obsessed with fame and power, and someone who already voiced support for Trump in the past. I dont know what were going to do.
The publicist was also worried that a number of Kanyes tweets about thought police and his inability to be managed would confuse and even alienate a public who knew the rapper to be straightforward, clear, and modest.
