Kris Jenner says Kanye West has "good intentions" following his string of controversial statements.

The 62-year-old reality star has defended her son-in-law - who is married to her daughter Kim Kardashian West,

after he recently divided opinion with his support for controversial US president Donald Trump,

and seemingly claimed that the 400 years of black slavery was a "choice" made by those enslaved.

Kanye's controversial comments began when he reactivated his Twitter account almost a year after he deleted it,

and used the platform to voice his love for his "brother" Donald Trump.

Kanye's tweets have prompted the likes of Rihanna, Harry Styles, Ariana Grande and Katy Perry to unfollow his account.
