John Legend, in an interview published on Sunday by The New Yorker, the All of Me singer, 43, mentioned a recent interview in which he said his friendship with Kanye West news, 45, terminated due to political differences.

"Yeah, what it got described as was, we stopped being friends because he supported [Donald] Trump, which was a mischaracterization of what I said," Legend explained. "That was kind of the Rupert Murdoch version of the story — it was all over the New York Post and Fox News."

He went on to exemplify, "What I was saying was that he was very upset with me that I didn't support him running for President, and that was the real impetus for us having a strain in our friendship."

"I don't know what will happen in the future, but he was very upset with me that I didn't support him and I supported Joe Biden. It's up to him whether he can get past that," he continued.

Legend spilled that however, he doesn't think political views "should be everything in your relationship," he does "believe that certain things you believe in are indicators of your character, and obviously that will affect your friendships."
