After the meeting, West also tweeted that he felt it "important to have a direct line of communication with our future president if we truly want change."

West, 39, was booed at a concert for declaring his support for Trump in November, although he said he had not voted in the presidential election.

West's representatives did not return requests for comment.

Celebrity website TMZ, quoting an unidentified source, said West had deleted the tweets because he was unhappy about Trump's actions since taking office.
