Given businessman and reality TV personality Donald Trump’s rise to the White House, political pundits are going to have to take Kanye West a lot more seriously than they’d like to now.
Just over a year from when Yeezy first announced his intention to run for the presidency, the rapper has restated his plan to be America’s second black president in an interview with BBC Radio 1’s Annie Mac.
Speaking on what would motivate him to run for the highest office in the land, Yeezy tried to sound deeply apolitical — and ended up sounding just like a career politician.
“When I talk about the idea of being president, I’m not saying I have any political views. I don’t have views on politics, I just have a view on humanity, on people, on the truth.”
Still, it certainly sounds like his heart is in the right place, which is more than can be said for plenty of the people who currently hold office in this country.
“If there is anything that I can do with my time and my day, to somehow make a difference while I’m alive I’m going to try to do it.”
The full interview drops on Monday.
No, Kanye West would be the first black president. Barak Obama is not black, he is biracial.
once kanye fucks everything up “stfu he’s not even black he married a white woman and wears cardigans we haven’t had a black president VOTE SCARFACE”
Still don’t know why this happens in America, basically erasing the side that raised him. But it speaks to how easily America works on perception, and it’s the biggest issue we have today…
That’ll be rad if he runs for president 2020.
Fuck Kanye I hope Donald trump is are president for a second term
See uneducated dumb asses voted for trump. How the Hell do you not know the difference between our and are. There should be a test to vote so idiots like you don’t get a chance to Fuck up the country.
Fuck off scumbag deal with it trump is the new president their is nothing u can do about it
i hope trump builds a wall around atlanta
So, you want a wall to keep the ATLiens out?
Kanye is only doing this to kiss obama ass
An airplane was about to crash. There were 4 passengers on board, but only 3 parachutes. The 1st passenger said “I am LeBron James, the best NBA basketball player. The Cavs and my millions of fans need me, and I can’t afford to die.” So he took the 1st pack and left the plane. The 2nd passenger, Donald Trump, said, “I am the newly-elected US President, and I am the smartest President in American history, so my people don’t want me to die.” He took the 2nd pack and jumped out of the plane. The 3rd passenger, the Pope, said to the 4th passenger, a 10 year old schoolboy, “My son, I am old and don’t have many years left, you have more years ahead so I will sacrifice my life and let you have the last parachute.” The little boy said, “That’s okay, Your Holiness, there’s a parachute left for you. America ‘s smartest President took my schoolbag.”
I love your copy paste technique, very original
This chimp couldn’t handle one day in President it’s all hype cuz he can’t make music anymore .. please build a wall around Atlanta President Trump !
just when you think it can not get any worst than trump
Uneducated people voted for Hillary and will vote for Kanye.
If any rapper is gonna run for President, I think it should be Chuck D. I’d take him more serious than Kanye.
Please don’t Kanye, I would really love to see some legitimate, relatively elidgble, non narcissististic, presidential elects.
Will Smith is still my choice after 96 independence day
Dunkey is that you?
He would be the first Black president. Obama is half white/black. The only thing black about him is his wife. He was raised by his rich white mother and went to all expensive private schools. People need to stop actin’ like he grew up in South Chicago, duckin’ bullets as he walked to school.
So you have to grow up in the ghetto and fear for your life everyday in order to be black?
James is right. People act like they can identify with Obama because his skin pigment is dark. Obama don’t know shit about urban life and Chicago has gotten fuckin worse since he took office. Obama aint black, Drake aint black, Tiger Woods aint black…..they are all mixed so people need to stop claiming ownership. All humans are one fuckin color….
So you’re idea of a “black guy” is someone who grew up in the ghetto “duckin’ bullets” as he walked to school.
I prefer waka flockas military policies over kanyes
America, it has come to the point where even the presidency has become a popularity contest.
That being said, Yeezy for president and Breezy for VP!
