Kanye West Met With Cavs Owner Dan Gilbert

DETROIT — Controversial rap superstar Kanye West met with Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert this week in Detroit. West Tweeted videos of the dialogue and then sent out a barrage of Tweets about plastic accumulation in the Great Lakes.

West appeared to be meeting with Gilbert at the StockX building in downtown Detroit. The rapper had previously announced he was heading to the Michigan city to meet with the billionaire that was "healing" Detroit.

In a moment appropriate for the somewhat absurd meeting, people can be seen explaining StockX to West using a gigantic (human-sized) iPhone. In a second video, West's camera captures wall after wall of vehicle sketches.

After then, apparently, eating a plate of bugs (we're not making that up), West Tweeted out a series of thoughts on plastic entering the Great Lakes. He even shared a screenshot that said "22 million pounds of plastic enter the Great Lakes every year..."

West made a controversial appearance on Saturday Night Live over the weekend, that saw the rapper go on a political rant about his support for Donald Trump.
