West, who has faced backlash over his vocal support of Trump, will meet him and senior advisor and son-in-law, Jared Kushner, at the White House on Thursday. They are expected to discuss manufacturing in West's native Chicago and job opportunities for former convicts.

Wearing a pro-President 'Make America Great Again' baseball cap, West delivered a pro-Trump speech on Saturday Night Live. Despite his speech not being aired, he received applauds from Trump.
