Kanye West said he would meet Donald Trump in an in-depth interview with radio host Charlamagne the God yesterday.

"I don't have all the answers that a celebrity's supposed to have," says the musician. "But I can tell you that, when he was running, it's like I felt something.

"The fact that he won, it proves something. It proves that anything is possible in America. Donald Trump can be president of America. I'm not talking about what he's done since he's in office. 

West also said that he would be prepared to meet the US President today. "And I would talk about Chicago," he said in reference to his daughter, who was born last January. 

"First. We could talk about some more things. We could eventually get into a lot of elements. But we'll start there." 

West admitted that he was also impressed by Bernie Sanders' performance in the 2016 US presidential election.  "It's a time for the unconventional," he said. "I'm not a traditional thinker. I'm a non-conformist. So (Trump's victory) relates to the non-conformist part of me."
