Kanye West said former President Donald Trump screamed at him during dinner at Mar-a-Lago.
The rapper said Trump told him Ye would lose in 2024 if he ran for president.
Ye talked about meeting Trump in Florida in a Thursday video dubbed "Mar-a-Lago debrief."
Ye, the rapper formerly known as Kanye West, said former President Donald Trump started "screaming" at him during dinner at the Mar-a-Lago resort and told the rapper he would lose if he were to run in 2024.
"When Trump started basically screaming at me at the table telling me I was going to lose, I mean has that ever worked for anyone in history?" the rapper said in a video he tweeted on Thursday evening.
"I'm like whoa hold on, hold on, hold on. You're talking to Ye," he said in the video. The clip was one of several videos posted by the rapper on Thursday with the slogan "YE24."
Ye dubbed the video a "Mar-a-Lago debrief," during which he gave his side of the story about what happened during a visit to Trump's Florida residence on Tuesday .
"I think that was like, lower on the list of things that caught him off guard," Ye added.
Ye also spoke briefly in the video about his political beliefs. "Since we know, and all the Christians in America that love Trump know that Trump is a conservative, we're going to demand that you hold all policies directly to the Bible," he said.
The rapper also claimed Trump said something seemingly unpleasant about Ye's ex-wife, Kim Kardashian.
"You can tell her I said that," Trump said to Ye, according to the rapper. The video censored the exact words that Ye alleged Trump said about Kardashian.
However, Ye appeared offended by the comment.
"And I was thinking like, that's the mother of my children," the rapper said in his video.
Ye ran for president under the banner of the "Birthday Party" in 2020. He only appeared on the ballot in 12 states , having missed the deadline for the others. He collected around 60,000 votes out of an estimated 160 million, per the BBC.
