*Fans, critics and concerned progressives, including CNN anchor Alisyn Camerota, are sparking conversation about whether it’s “time to start worrying” about Kanye West after he delivered a pro-Trump rant on “Saturday Night Live,” followed by a tweet in which he called for the 13th Amendment to be abolished, The Hill reports.
“I just am wondering if it’s time to start worrying about Kanye, because he does go on, sometimes, nonsensical rants,” Camerota said on “New Day” on Monday.
“I haven’t heard this whole one, so I don’t know if it’s nonsensical,” she said of West’s comments on SNL. “And look, he has taken a break, I think, for some stress-related issues. So I’m concerned.”

Co-anchor John Berman compared Ye’s rant to actor Robert De Niro saying “f— Trump” at the Tony Awards.
“I look at it as yet another entertainer deciding to get political on company time, as it were,” Berman said.
West, who wore a “Make America Great Again” during his third performance on the 44th season premiere of the sketch comedy series, delivered a pro-Trump message onstage while the show was off the air. Yeezy’s criticism of his support for Trump was booed by the audience.
“There’s so many times I talk to, like, a white person about this and they say, ‘How could you like Trump? He’s racist,’ ” he said. “Well, uh, if I was concerned about racism, I would’ve moved out of America a long time ago.”
Of course, West’s appearance on the show drew praise from Trump.
On Sunday, Kanye fired off a series of tweets in which he criticized the amendment that abolished slavery before clarifying that he actually wants to see it “amended.”
