。 Saturday Night Live 。. He brought his MAGA hat along. 。 It was originally supposed to be Ariana Grande, but she cancelled. So instead we got West, performing three songs (not 。 SNL。's usual two): A debut of "We Got Love," featuring Teyana Taylor, along with "Ghost Town" (from West's June 2018 album, Ye 。) and "I Love It," featuring Lil Pump. 。 Those who attended the show's live taping were also treated -- maybe not the right word to use here, but just go with it -- to another Kanye West trademark: An impassioned rant. 。 Tweet may have been deleted 。 "They bullied me backstage.

For viewers at home, that's where the show ended. But West didn't relinquish the stage. Instead he sounded off on the same talking points he's been spouting since he entered the "I support Donald Trump and fuck you for telling me not to" phase of his career. 。 He called for his haters to "try love" if they want to "move the world forward."
