US rapper Kanye West has held a meeting with Donald Trump – with the president-elect saying the pair discussed “life”.<\/p>\n

They posed for pictures after the Trump Tower get-together on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The reason for the meeting was not made clear, and neither answered questions on whether West would perform at Mr Trump’s inauguration next month.<\/p>\n

Mr Trump said the pair were “just friends”, adding that West – who has recently spent time in hospital – was “a good man”.<\/p>\n

Asked why he was not speaking during the photocall, held in the lobby of the tower, West replied: “I just want to take a picture right now.”<\/p>\n

The singer, who was admitted to hospital with exhaustion, has previously revealed he did not vote in the US presidential election – but that if he had, he would have chosen Mr Trump over Hillary Clinton.<\/p>\n

He was booed at a concert in California in November after declaring his support for Mr Trump.<\/p>\n

A spokesman for Mr Trump said the president-elect had “enjoyed catching up” with his “long-time friend” on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

There has been speculation over who might perform at the January inauguration, following reports in the US that Mr Trump is struggling to find A-list stars to play at the event.<\/p>\n

The topic of the inauguration was not addressed during a media briefing held by Mr Trump’s press team, however.<\/p>\n

West arrived at the New York building with a small entourage, but his wife, Kim Kardashian West, did not accompany him.<\/p>\n
