John Legend is shedding light on his current relationship with Kanye West — or rather, lack thereof.

The 43-year-old singer revealed that politics — namely, West's support for former president Donald Trump, and his own presidential run in 2020 — dramatically altered their friendship.

"We aren't friends as much as we used to be," Legend said during an appearance on The Axe Files podcast with CNN's David Axelrod. "I honestly think because we publicly disagreed on his running for office, his supporting Trump. I think it became too much for us to sustain our friendship."

Legend and West, 45, used to be close, and even worked on several songs over the years, with West producing for Legend as well as them both doing fully featured collaborations including 2005's "Number One" and 2008's "It's Over."

According to Legend, West also was "not happy about" the "All of Me" hitmaker not standing behind him when he announced that he was running for president in the 2020 election.

"He was upset that I didn't support his run for presidency of the United States of America — for understandable reasons," Legend said. "I wasn't alone in that, but, you know, he was not happy about that. And we really haven't been close since then."

Isn't John Legend one of those guys the Democratic party wheels out in pretty much every situation? I can understand why that was a point of contention

We've managed to go a year without hearing about the f***face hellscape that is Chrissy Teigen. Let’s keep that streak going

Him and common, with some sam cooke song blaring in the background

Also John probably needs those political connections to cover up whatever nonsense his wife is up to at a particular moment in time

Yeah he’s a tap dancing fool

Real friends

Nobody wins when the family feuds.

Dude said around that time they were never friends to begin with. He keeps spinning the narrative just for acceptance from the general public. He's a sell out
