Kanye West emerged from his highly publicized meeting with Donald Trump to more than just a media frenzy — he got a signed copy of Time magazine, too.
The “Life of Pablo” artist tweeted out a photo of his new prized possession, which also had a special message from the President-elect scrawled across the cover of the “Person of the Year” issue — which happened to feature Trump of course.
“To Kanye, you are a great friend,” wrote the Donald. “Great” was underlined for emphasis.
Don’t worry, the note didn’t cover Trump’s face.

The meeting spurred speculation that West might perform at Trump’s inauguration, given that Trump’s team has had trouble booking A-list talent.
The rapper shocked reporters Tuesday morning when he was spotted at entering Trump Tower for a meeting with the soon-to-be president. Trump said the duo simply discussed “life.”
“We’ve been friends for a long time,” Trump said. “We discussed life.”
West ignored reporters’ questions at the time but later tweeted that he met with the president-elect to discuss “multicultural issues.”
“I wanted to meet with Trump today to discuss multicultural issues,” West wrote. “These issues included bullying, supporting teachers, modernizing curriculums, and violence in Chicago. I feel it is important to have a direct line of communication with our future President if we truly want change.”
The rapper has said that he didn’t vote, but would have voted for Trump.
