Grammy-winning rapper Kanye West looks like he’s back on the campaign trail for the 2020 presidency after unloading a few education-related social media posts this week.
Yeezy went back on his Twitter tirade with a reference to his 2020 run Tuesday (February 16).
G.O.O.D. Music producer Malik Yusef recently confirmed Ye’s plans to run for the presidency in 2020.
Asked whether Kanye West still plans on running for president in 2020, Yusef said “the last time I talked to him” he said he would. “He would run as a democrat or possibly as an independent,” Yusef said, adding “I’d run against him.” (CNN)
G.O.O.D. Music affiliate Rhymefest talked to SOHH about Ye’s candidacy plans a few months ago.
“There’s a lot of different facets of politics. If you want to know where I stand as far as Kanye West running for president, then I think it’s a lot more difficult than my brother understands. I would hope that he would be serious and it would be a party of ‘we’ and not a party of ‘me.’ I would hope that it would be for all of the people and not just what he’s upset about at the time.” (SOHH)
Recently, West Coast rap star Game gave his thoughts on 2016 presidential hopeful Donald Trump.
“I never liked him. I’m not white, so I wouldn’t be proud of Trump. He also wouldn’t be the first white president. Obama is the first black president, and that was a historic moment. But I don’t think Donald Trump is going to win. If he wins the presidency, we are f—ed.” (Billboard)
