American rapper and billionaire, Kanye West has revealed that he will be contesting in the 2020 presidential elections.
Kanye West announced on Twitter Saturday that he is running for president.
He tweeted: “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 … #2020VISION.”
This doesn’t come as a surprise because Kanye West has always expressed his interest in becoming the president of the country. However, he always stated that he would run in 2024.

During a 2018 interview with Power 92.3’s DJ Pharris, he said: “One of my main things [I’ll address] once I’m president is the medical industry,
“I’m going to make sure that the medical industry flourishes. There’s one thing I learned by hanging around with Jay-Z, and being married to my wife, is you can’t fuck up the paper.. That’s the problem with a lot of the radical leaders in the past.”
Although, few people believe that it is just a publicity stunt for his upcoming album, “God’s Country,” and its first single, “Wash Us in the Blood,” which was released earlier this week.
However, if Kanye West is actually serious about running for President, he will have to do so as an independent.
Following his announcement, Kanye has already received two big endorsements: one from his wife, Kim Kardashian West, and the other from his friend, Tesla CEO Elon Musk.
