A pro-Trump fan, he was visibly silent when the eponymous host asked him a question about why the musician thinks that Trump likes black people.

After a relatively long pause from West, Kimmel called for a commercial break.

Now, West is claiming that remarks on him being silent are just for “click bait”.

According to him, “On Jimmy Kimmel we had a great time having a dialogue. I’m reading that I was stumped by a question. Let me clarify the click bait. I wasn’t stumped. I wasn’t given a chance to answer the question”
