But he’s always there. In the Oval Office meeting where West pledged his fealty to Donald Trump, at his infamous “white lives matter” Paris fashion show, at any of his messianic “Sunday Service” worship sessions – there he is, impassive, camera trained on the Chicago-born rapper now legally known as ...
