President-elect Donald Trump has met with Kanye West to discuss "multicultural issues", the rapper said.
The pair spoke about "issues including bullying, supporting teachers, modernising curriculums, and violence in Chicago" during a meeting at Trump Tower, West tweeted.
In his first Twitter post for almost two months, he wrote: "I feel it is important to have a direct line of communication with our future president if we truly want change."
West previously announced his own plan to run for president in 2020, but tweeted "#2024" after the meeting with the president-elect.
The 39-year-old posed for photos in the lobby of Trump Tower with Mr Trump after the meeting, and when asked why he was not speaking replied "I just want to take a picture right now".
Mr Trump said the two were "just friends" and that they discussed "life", describing the musician as a "good man".
West recently spent more than a week in hospital for stress and exhaustion after abruptly cancelling his US concert tour.
Last month, the star, who is married to Kim Kardashian West, said he did not vote in the US elections, but if he had done so, he would have cast his ballot for Mr Trump.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.

We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
