Grammy-winning rapper Kanye West shocked fans at last night’s MTV Video Music Awards by announcing his bid for the presidency.

Yeezy broke the big news to the audience and live viewers of his intent for the White House spot in 2020 during an acceptance speech.

West made the announcement at the end of a 10-minute speech where he discussed visiting the grocery store with his daughter and admitted that he does not understand awards shows. “And yes, as you probably could’ve guessed in this moment, I’ve decided in 2020 to run for president,” West said, before walking off stage.

West’s wife Kim Kardashian-West showed off a picture of herself, Yeezy and Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton earlier this summer on Instagram.

Although endorsing Mrs. Clinton, rap veteran Snoop Dogg recently revealed he would fall back if rumors about her ending marijuana legalization were true.

“I’m not voting for the Republican Party or the Democratic Party,” Snoop told DJ Whoo Kid in an interview. “I’m voting for the Gangsta Party. [Hillary will ban all legalized marijuana when she’s elected?] Don’t say that. That’s not true because I’m endorsing her right now and if that’s the case, she’s going to get un-endorsed. [laughs] You gotta fix that sh*t, Hillary, are you listening? Huh? Is somebody in that motherf*cker listening? Chelsea? The dog? Bill? Focus, n*gga. Don’t let her go crazy.” (“Whoolywood Shuffle”)

Music mogul Damon “Dame” Dash hopped onto his Instagram page earlier this year to co-sign Clinton for president.

Clinton announced her bid for the presidency in 2016 around mid-April.

“I’m running for president,” she said with a smile near the end of a two-minute video released just after 3 p.m. “Everyday Americans need a champion. And I want to be that champion,” Mrs. Clinton said. “So I’m hitting the road to earn your vote — because it’s your time. And I hope you’ll join me on this journey.” (NY Times)
