Kanye for president? See inside the music and fashion disruptor's political ambitions.
Kanye West is used to multitasking, having proved to be a disruptor and innovator in music, fashion and entertainment.
West took to Twitter on Independence Day and declared: “We must now realize the promise of America by trusting God, unifying our vision and building our future. I am running for president of the United States!” Anyone can more or less say anything online and, while West has in the past said he might run for president one day, it could not be learned whether his bid is a serious one. But he comes with an in-built fan base any candidate would envy: West has 29.5 million followers on Twitter, and his wife has 65.5 million .
Then again, prior to 2016 Trump was known more for his casino bankruptcies and for his reality TV turn on “The Apprentice” than any political ambitions. And West has dabbled in politics before, praising Trump and meeting with the president-elect in 2016. The two also had an Oval Office sitdown in 2018. Kardashian West also has met with Trump and lobbied him for criminal justice reform.
