Rapper and producer Kanye West made a surprise visit to the College for Creative Studies in Detroit, Michigan, on Oct. 2.

During his visit, West posted about it, to the approval of many Twitter users, reported Detroit Free Press.

“The fact that Kanye called CCS the best art and design school in the world is so sick,” one person commented.

After touring some designs, West gave a passionate speech to the students. Part of his speech later appeared on Twitter.

In the video, West can be seen standing on a table passionately addressing the students, saying that he thought people should leave entrepreneur and Tesla founder Elon Musk alone. “I don’t give a f*** who’s over at his house, leave that man the f*** alone.”

“Kanye really came to our little art school and told us to leave Elon Musk alone,” the person who tweeted the video wrote. The video has been viewed nearly 500,000 times on Twitter.

West recently ended his appearance on Saturday Night Live with a speech expressing his support for President Donald Trump. He later tweeted a photo of himself donning a ‘Make America Great Again’ hat.
