Kanye West discovered John Legend and co-produced his 2004 double-Platinum debut album, Get Lifted. However, they are no longer friends and have not worked together in several years. Now, the EGOT winner is setting the record straight on why they fell out.

“What it got described as was, we stopped being friends because he supported [Donald] Trump, which was a mischaracterization,” The Voice coach told the New Yorker. “What I was saying was that he was very upset with me that I didn’t support him running for president and that was the real impetus for us having a strain in our friendship.”

Legend’s first five albums were released
