Kanye West visits Trump Tower

NEW YORK (FOX 5 NY) - You never know who might show up at Trump Tower New York and on Tuesday the surprise guest was rapper and designer Kanye West.

The two men posed for photos but didn't say much about their discussion, reported the Associated Press.

Trump said the two were "just friends" and called the musician a "good man." The president-elect said they discussed "life." The two did not answer questions about whether West would perform at the Inauguration.

West stood silently next to Trump for photos in the lobby of Trump Tower. Asked why he wasn't speaking, West said, "I just want to take a picture right now."

West arrived at about 9:30 am dressed in black and sporting blonde hair.

He did not speak to reporters on his way to the elevator.

West's wife, reality star Kim Kardashian West, was nowhere in sight.

Last month, West said he didn't vote in the presidential election, but if he had, he would have voted for Trump.

West, 39, was recently released from a Los Angeles hospital where he was reportedly treated for exhaustion.
