Kayne West received less than 70,000 votes in the last US presidential election. Apparently that doesn't stop the rapper from trying again. On Twitter he hints at a candidacy for 2024. Kanye also has clear ideas about the vice president.
Rapper and fashion designer Kanye West has hinted that he wants to run again in the US presidential election in 2024 and that he wants ex-President Donald Trump as his running mate. The artist, who works under the name "Ye", first published an image on Twitter with the word "Ye" and the number "2024". Then he posted a video in which he talks about a possible candidacy.
In the video, West tells of a recent meeting with Trump in the US state of Florida. "I think what upset Trump the most was when I asked him to be my vice president," says the rapper. Trump yelled at him and predicted defeat. "I said wait a minute Trump, you're talking to Ye," West continues. The musician had already competed in the presidential election in 2020, but received fewer than 70,000 votes.
Trump recently announced his re-election for the 2024 presidential election. The ex-president's office has not responded to inquiries about the rapper's comments. West said two days ago that he was visiting Trump at his residence in Mar-a-Lago, Florida.
So far it is unclear whether West is seriously aiming for a candidacy or is just looking for public attention. The musician had recently caused outrage, especially with controversial actions and anti-Semitic statements.
