That is more than enough -- but, wait, it gets weirder! In the photo Kanye posted, he's alongside two men, one of whom is flashing a sign some have linked to white power members of the alt-right.

That's Cohen flashing the "OK" sign and this is where things get messy. The "OK" sign still means just that: everything is ok! But it's 2018 and that same hand signal has been appropriated by the alt-right, starting out as a prank by members of 4chan but evolving into "a thing" because it's been used so much.
UPDATE: April 25, 2018, 3:52 p.m. PDT Cohen issued the following statement following the publication of this story:
"I went to listen to bvand ee anye. He is someone I care about. I don't abandon people. With great music comes great pain and stress. The music is incredible!"
If that's not messy enough, there's no way to know if Cohen actually means it or if he's just trolling us since Kanye has set off a deafening buzz by defending Trump and some of his supporters in multiple tweets over the past several days. It's worth noting he's done so on Twitter before, though.

This much we do know, though, thanks to a follow-up tweet: his MAGA hat is signed, maybe from when Kanye visited Trump in Trump Tower post-election.
