Kanye has since set eyes for the oval office. In an interview with Zane Lowe in 2019, the “Ye” lord had said “There will be a time when I will be President of the United States. “And I will remember…any founder that didn’t have the capacity to understand culturally what we’re doing.” he told the host.
Before then, In 2018, Kanye West voiced his support for Donald Trump. At the time, Kanye tweeted: ‘You don’t have to agree with trump but the mob can’t make me not love him. We are both dragon energy.”
“He is my brother. I love everyone. I don’t agree with everything anyone does. ‘That’s what makes us individuals. And we have the right to independent thought.’ to which the president replied: ‘Thank you Kanye, very cool!’
It’s however unclear if Kanye will truly run for President against Donald Trump and Joe Biden or If he’s completed the necessary paperwork as the elections, billed for November, is mere months away.
