Kanye West’s first official “campaign rally” took place at the Exquis Event Center in Charleston, South Carolina on Sunday (July 19). With all eyes on him, the presidential hopeful — who shaved “2020” into his head before the event — crashed and burned in yet another wild rant that included Harriet Tubman and a tearful confession.
During his rambling speech, his emotions swung between happy and sad to downright angry as he spoke against abortion and the morning-after pill, saying, “No Plan B. There is Plan A.”
He then admitted he tried to convince his now-wife Kim Kardashian to abort their first child North West using the Plan B pill. He started to cry as he screamed, “I almost killed my daughter!” Between tears, he said if it had not been for a “vision of God,” he would have allowed North to be “murdered.”
The Hip Hop billionaire also claimed his mother saved his life when his father wanted to abort him: “There would have been no Kanye West because my dad was too busy,” he said.
Elsewhere during the rally, Ye attempted to pontificate about Harriet Tubman and sputtered out an inaccurate historical “fact” about the famous abolitionist.
“Harriet Tubman never actually freed the slaves, she just had the slaves go work for other white people,” he said. Someone in the audience can be heard saying, “C’mon man” as faint chatter ricochets across the audience.
Tubman, who was born into slavery in 1822, ultimately helped free at least 70 enslaved people using a web of antislavery activists and safe houses known as the Underground Railroad throughout the course of 13 different missions.
As Kanye continued, several members of the audience loudly questioned him while others screamed “we love you Kanye” and just wanted to give him a hug, seeing this more as a cry for help. He replied, “I don’t give a fuck if I win the presidency or not. I care about homeless people in front of the Gucci store.”
Is Kanye West Trying To Steal Votes For Donald Trump With 2020 Presidential Bid?
Later, Ye threatened to end his relationship with adidas and Gap unless they put him on the board. He urged his followers to stop watching porn, and promised, if elected, marijuana “would be legal and free.”
Kanye announced his intention to run for president in the 2020 election on the Fourth of July, although he hadn’t filled out any of the official paperwork. In the last couple of weeks, he’s filed his statement of candidacy with the Federal Election Committee, added himself to Mount Rushmore and evidently has his campaign trail underway.
Watch the full hour-long spectacle below.
Lmaooooo this nigga has lost his mind!
Happened a while ago.
In school we’re taught that slavery ended after the civil war.
But I’m reality Black people in America went from slaves, to indentured servants, to share croppers. Jim Crow laws kept black people trapped, and even our modern day prison system in a way is slavery. We’re still fighting slavery today.
Kanye is far from an eloquent speaker, but he’s kinda right. To show a 10 sec clip is not fair and really some foxnews type shit.
Prison isn’t slavery, in any form. Stop with that BS. Fox news is no different from other mainstream media. Stop being a sheep.
What a terrible name you have chosen. You are so misinformed and you should watch the 13 on Netflix before you poach another ounce of black entertainment…
Haha. You watch one documentary and you think you know it all. People end up in prison because they commit crimes. It happens all around the world. That isn’t slavery. Sane people don’t want these lowlife criminals on our streets.
Making large profits off of non violent offenders with time in double digits is more than just keeping people in prison for protection. Most are drug offenders. Getting paid less than a dollar per hour is insane
That stuff and the whole prison-industrial-complex and mass incarceration was CREATED by JOE Biden with the 1994 crime bill Joe Biden WROTE and that Hillary championed and that Bill Clinton signed.
“poach another ounce of black entertainment…” Jesus… You’re a dumb fk, bro.
“documentary”
Foxnews type shit lol ya because fox news is bullshit right… like the only.news cast that speaks up for the wickedness going on instead of hyping it up clown. And slavery FOR EVERYONE is still very much real we are all modern day slaves we all pay taxes are fed shit for food really poisoning us in the long run wake your little punk ass up and do not believe the bullshit they taught in the school system that’s also.controlled by the same rich joos that enslave us all
That Kardashian Ass is like Voodoo…sucks the life out of men…Kills Big Robert Kardashian, Turns Bruce Jenner into Kaitlyn, Turned Reggie Bush into wait…what happened to him… exactly??, Kris Humphreys career died, Lamar Odum turned out on crack,French Montana got even Wacker as a rapper (didn’t think that was possible), Tyga went bankrupt, Tristen Thompson career pretty much dead anyways…that ass is like COVID-19 to entertainers and athletes…Avoid that shit at all cost. Ye…it’s already too late for him to be saved, he’s in way too deep. He needs to get serious mental health first before he completely crashes and burns. Of he crashes this time, he may not be able to bounce back off those silicone cheeks of Kim’s.
All these dudes were suspect to begin with. Not one official dude on the list before they hooked up with them. Also, Bruce’s first wife divorced him because of the crossdressing. Nothing to do with Kris. It was one of those open industry secrets like Will and Jada’s marriage.
Killed me with that French Montana line
Kanye’s campaign is definately going to steal some limelight and a small share of the vote from Joe Biden’s campaign if it gains traction. Such a situation can only work out favourably for the Trump administration and the Republican Party’s momentum. It may seem a little premature to say so but let’s wait and see.
Nope. Polling shows its hurting Trump. Nice try though.
Nic stay at what you sensitive bitch?? He said it might…
The campaign’s only just begun. Let’s wait and see.
This is gay
Didn’t most polls last time have Hillary leading?….and we saw how that worked out.
Yes cos its trump supporters who will be voting for Kanye right. Gimme a break its only going to hurt Biden in the end.
TRACTION?? What idiot would actually vote for Kanye. Only campaign he’s hurting his own. He really needs meds and counseling.
You all say the same thing oh he needs meds why because he speaks the truth? Because he has emotions unlike anyone else and shows them? Go vote for Biden hes racist you obviously would enjoy that you’ll get even more attention and have even more racism brought into the world
This is so obviously mental illness the fact none of you see it is fuckin crazy. Good lord.
Are you moron? EVERYONE has been calling him mentally ill. Where are you getting this whole, no one sees it other than you? LMAO.
33:00 min mark and on is just.. ya hahah lost so hard
BUT YO, GUESS WHOSE THE BLACK TRUMP?
Nah he good
BUT YO, GUESS WHO’S THE BLACK TRUMP
Crazy this is the guy who made The College Dropout.
Here’s the big question at hand, after Harriet freed the slaves, did they open their own companies or did they go back to work for white people?
Check out the Tulsa Massacre of 1921 to see what unfortunately happened to those that tried to have a black owned community.
But now that’s a totally different story.
Bitch you sound dumb as fuck. Did they open their own companies?? I’m sure the opportunity to open up company’s was just ready and waiting for em after they were you know wrongfully forced into slavery because they were a born a different skin color. Maybe it would have been easier if they were free the whole fucking time like white people you dumb fuck.
I think that was actually Kanyes point. He never says Tubman was a bad person. His point is working for a different white man isn’t the same as true slavery. Thats also why he said 400 years when slavery in the U.S. didn’t last that long. Think about the song New Slaves
I think that was actually Kanye’s point. He never says Tubman is a bad person. His point is working for another white man isn’t the same as true freedom. That’s also why he said 400 years of slavery when it didnt last that long in the U.S. Think about the song New Slaves
I wish his daddy DID abort this clown. The world would have been spared a lot of nonsense.
You need Jesus in your life
He could be right. MLK gets heralded as a saint but he was a pos to women and didn’t support gay rights. Tear down his statues? You don’t believe what you’re taught in schools unless it’s about a person of color who did good. Hypocrisy is rife.
Lmfao bitch shut up
what does “pos” mean?
Kanye West definitely makes abortions seem like a good idea…
Can someone drop a shipping container on this ashy elbow
I think America might be better off with Donald Trump lol. I don’t know how a country manage to have these people as opposite candidates lmao.
The man wants to cancel Obamacare in the middle of a pandemic. You think hes better than biden?
Yeah, let’s switch the unstable crazy loose cannon president to another one with mood swings and obvious mental problems, sounds like a great idea!
Ok… where did the slaves go after they were freed though? If anyone says they worked for white people then nobody can say shit about that section of his speech. Maybe they were working for money, but they definitely worked for white people. His whole abortion thing is iffy but a lot of people feel that way. If you had mental health issues, and you were a musical genius, and you realize how amazing your daughter is in your life, you may also go on an anti-abortion rant.
His music ain’t as good as it used to be. Comparing slavery to legal employment is also — ridiculous.
He did it all the way back on yeezus. New slaves isn’t about people not being paid. it’s about being underpaid in privately owned prisons and being slaves to capitalism and debt. I think his point was they still ended up being ruled over by white people instead of having true freedom. I don’t think he meant it as anti Tubman
When you look at how black ppl are treated and how few of them are successful and how the system has been designed to make it harder for them to succeed then you will see that comparing employment to slavery isnt that ridiculous. When you look at black ppl getting locked up at the rate they do and the prisons get free labor you will see it isnt ridiculous. White ppl always had the power. Now it isnt whips and hangings, they do it in board rooms and offices and in the political world. I’m not saying Kanye is right or wrong, or whether I agree or not with the wild shit he says, I’m saying I get where he is coming from and it isn’t that crazy. So yes, she freed slaves. But also, she handed them to the people who would continue to take advantage of black people. That was his point, it isnt some insane statement
A narcissist loves attention good or bad. And that whole separation of church and state thing, yeah fuck all that because Kanye, right?
We the Black Delegation would like to trade Kanye West for…..
Lol more then half these comments are about Trump. Remember way back in the 90s when rappers were constantly name dropping Trump? I do. This was after the Central Park Five incident that everyone keeps mentioning, too. He even had a cameo on Method Man’s Tical 2 album. No one cared all that much, in fact most rappers seemed to admire him. What happened? Oh I know! The Dems and the MSM told them that wasn’t cool anymore.
Same in the 2000s. They didn’t hate Trump until after 2010. Same Trump. Same mysogony, same bullish behavior, yet they still loved him. It was when Trump accused Obama of being born in Kenya around 2011 that switched the general opinion on Trump.
If you are out here trying to act surprised about a rapper saying or doing something retarded, i’d like to cordially invite you to planet Earth. That’s how we got to this “Kanye” moment in the first place.
Basically when some black people say “all live matters” they get the hit from the black community and they’re labelled “sell outs” and “oncle tom’s” but when kanye supports trump and drops some bomb ass ignorant statement like “harriet got the slaves work for white people” nobody says shit and yall keep calling him the goat… well fuck yall hypocrites motherfuckers… yall can choke on a big fat dick with your double standards shit !
Kanye needs help not critique what’s wrong with you? There is no double standard because Kanye has never been and will never be an uncle Tom. He cares about the black comminity but black people only see what liberal “woke, white people want them to see.
He is an uncle tom. He supports a president who clearly doesnt give a flyin fuck about minorities in this country and doesnt stand a clear position about white supremacists movement. The fuck you talkin about when you say “he needs help not critique” ??? He’s a grown ass 43 years old adult havin a platform where he can reach people all across the globe… of course he should be criticize when he does some dumb shit like that ! And please do not repeat like a fuckin robot this “white liberal people are brainwashin the masses” argument again ! It’s overused and outdated ! We’re talkin about someone who said “black people chose slavery” ! Was that also white liberal people who brainwash the masses ??? FOH !
On some real shit (no pun intended)…I know this doesn’t have anything to do with the topic but you mentioned “Uncle Tom”. You might want to read up on who “Uncle Tom” actually was. You will realize that not like the narrative that was created by those who didn’t like him. But you’ll find out what he actually accomplished for African American slaves. The common narrative of “Uncle Tom” needs to change. His real name is Josiah Henson.
Trump condemned white supremacists and white nationalists after Charlottesville but media like CNN never play that clip and instead play that clip where Trump was talking about people who wanted to remove the statue and people who wanted to keep the statue and said there was good people on both sides of that issue and CNN and other media LIE that Trump was talking about white supremacists when Trump had CONDEMNED them earlier in the press briefing and was talking about people who wanted to keep the statue and people who wanted to remove the statue when he talked about there being good people on both sides.
You sound like a liberal bird. Black people can think independently. Most of us are conservative when it comes to certain things. Kanye West may be essentric but he means well for black people. I don’t support everything Trump says but at least he’s against the deep state and I agree with some of his policies. Personally when it comes to politics I’m independent non party and I think that all Blacks should do the same. These parties need to deserve our votes. All lives matter is baseless and a deflection. It doesn’t lead to a political discussion. That’s like saying we all breathe air. The term black lives matter means something because it raised other questions. Such as why our black lives devalued in this country. Why are black 200 years behind whites economically? Why is the wealth gap increasing etc.
You should know that the whole premise of BLM is a LIE.
Cops shoot more unarmed white people than black people despite blacks committing about 50% of the violent crimes in USA.
BLM took a few cases of police brutality done by 0.01% of police and used that to claim 100% of police are bad when 99%+ are actually good.
BLM’s demands to abolish/defund police and the protests and riots and attacks against police have led to police withdrawing and Democrats like New York Mayor De Blasio defunding police by 1000 million and closing the plain clothes police unit and as a result shootings are up 300% in New York in June and July compared to last year.
Kanye West is a fool confused get back on ur medicine ur stupid.U dont know anything about black history u going up against ur own people for a man that oppresses Black people call us biggers white power signs ur children are mixed u dam fool. I watched him on TV instead of handing Hispanic people thier supplies he threw at them many Hispanic people including adults and children have died u think he gives a shit.ur mother was a black woman u stupid crazy ass fool.U trying to help a white dictator get back into office our children are the next generation. Harriet Tubman freed the slaves how dare u make a stupid statement.Ur a slaves trump slaves God and ur mother is watching u.Slave!!!
You are either a media/Democrat brainwashed fool or you work for Democrats and Joe Biden’s campaign.
Why do you even care about what Kanye thinks or says this much? Was it an idiotic statement? Sure. I’m not mad though.
Kanye is Bi Polar Disorder in human form
Kanye us a friend ass man. Why should we baby him. I understand what he’s saying with the Harriet Tubman statement. He’s basically saying that she freed slaves but they had to work for white people instead of generating their own income. Its kind of an insesative statement and Kanye doesn’t read so he’s kinda misinformed. I also don’t agree with the emotionalism. Dude needs to chill with the crying. You’re not a woman Kanye. You can tell us you’re pains without crying. Why don’t you meditate to destress.
Correction “Grown ass man”
Wtf is a “friend ass man”???
Kanye is showing emotion so you know he is real.
The problem in USA is that most people spend their time numbing their feelings either with prescription drugs pushed by drug companies for mental health issues that should be dealt with therapy instead of creating drugged out zombies OR over-eating OR illegal drugs or alcohol or porn or hating on other people based on their skin color or political opinion.
If kanye wins the 2020 us elections I swear with no lies I will run naked at night in my street throughout that same day. I’ve seen crazy things, but if this happens I swear I will believe in santa-claus.
Kanye is doing a practice run in 2020 to get in People’s brains and the goal is 2024 presidential election either as independent, Democrat or Republican.
I swear I will vote for Kanye next election.
Bro, I was responding to another person’s comment, I don’t know why it was placed under your comment.
Wtf are you talking about?
This is sad man. How is nobody helping him? Yea he’s a grown man blah blah, but in the words of beloved, “growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional”
Free weed?? Bruh, he’s got my vote permanent if it’s not only joints or bad quality ish. Bombay or no vote.
Do you remember when Kanye said slavery was a choice and everybody got really mad at Kanye?
Harriet Tubman said the SAME THING:
“I Could Have Freed a Thousand More Slaves If They Knew They Were Slaves” -Harriet Tubman
Is everybody going to start hating on Harriet Tubman like they hated on Kanye?
These are 2 completely different statements.
