Kanye West Storms D.C. Apple Store, Gives ‘Keynote Speech’ on Table, Says He’s Leaving for Africa
Hours after Kanye West gave a 10-minute monologue in the Oval Office and had lunch with President Donald Trump, he apparently stormed an Apple Store in the Washington D.C. neighborhood of Georgetown, climbed on top of a table and gave yet another speech… before declaring he’s leaving for Africa.
Jack Jenkins, national reporter for Religion News Service was there when it happened.
According to Jenkins’ account, West busted into a Washington DC Apple Store Thursday afternoon and asked to give a keynote speech before climbing on a table. It is not actually clear if his table climb was approved by Apple Store staff or if he just did it regardless.

Then, according to Jenkins, West announced he made a hat for Trump that says “Make America Great” sans the “again” — and that Trump wore it.
He explained the “again” part hurts black people.

On his way out the door, Jenkins reported that West said that he’s going to Africa.

The Apple Store employees suggested West’s keynote was just him being “extra.”
A CNN reporter spotted Kanye as well.

TMZ obtained photos of Trump in the Make America Great hat, alongside a beaming Kanye, Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner.
On Oct. 1, West — who prefers to be called ‘Ye’ although no one calls him that that — also told TMZ he was going to Africa. He was wearing a MAGA hat, including the “again” for that conversation.
