Kanye West hasn’t closed the door on his political ambitions as he has
confirmed his plans to run for US president in 2024 despite his last failed
attempt.
The controversial rapper, who has been embroiled in an
anti-Semitisim row, has long desired to become US president and launched his
candidacy in 2020. He failed to secure enough votes to go up against
the Democrats and Republican parties but he is not giving up,
In a video shared on YouTube on Sunday, Kanye, 45, revealed far-right
commentator Milo Yiannopoulos as his new campaign manager. ‘This is Milo
right here, working on the campaign,’ the rapper said in a video obtained by
X17 Online.
When asked if that was an announcement, Kanye laughed
as Milo confirmed: ‘I guess it is. Thanks, I accept.’ The cameraman then
asked Kanye: ‘So you are running?’ to which he responded after a delay:
‘Yes.’
The Grammy-winning artist then explained: ‘It’s simple ’cause
ain’t nobody can tell me, “you should say this, you shouldn’t say that”, you
know? It’s just we’re moving towards the future.’
In 2020, he ran
as an independent candidate in the US presidential election against Joe
Biden, who won, and Donald Trump, who has also announced his plans to make
another presidential bid in 2024 after losing office.
