The crazy train just keeps a-rolling … let’s see how far we it can go before it derails.
This afternoon, Kanye West tweeted out what appeared to be a texting conversation between himself and “JL”:

Dang.
that answer was amazing for real

more like John Legend-arily pwned

But more importantly than that, JL? JL who?
West offered up a clue in his next tweet:
I tweeted the John text to show that there are people around me that disagree with me and voice their opinion. I respect everyone's opinion but I stand my ground.

John, huh?

Plenty of people had their suspicions about JL’s identity. The consensus was that it was John Legend:
John Legend attempts to dissuade Kanye from loving Trump, but Ye will not be deterred. https://t.co/LRPrCLxAqb

Their suspicions were confirmed when West tweeted this:
John Legend new single on line now ?
— ye (@kanyewest) April 26, 2018
Welp.

For what it’s worth, here’s what Legend’s wife Chrissy Teigen had to say about it:
This is fun, isn’t it? Legend hasn’t tweeted about it yet, though he did appear to address the Kanye-versy yesterday in a series of tweets. Here are a few of them:
The defining trait of Trump's campaign and political profile was his embrace of white supremacy. He made it clear every time he spoke. Some serious cognitive dissonance to ignore that for the other x% you might find appealing. I guess I agree with >1% of anyone's thoughts though

I love that great, brilliant artists have the power to imagine a better future. But artists can't be blind to the truth.

Well, now thanks to Kanye West, we know a little more about what Legend thinks now.
