Kanye West Confirms He Is Done with Trump: ‘I’m Taking the Red Hat off’

Billionaire rapper Kanye West confirmed he is no longer supporting President Donald Trump’s re-election campaign as he emerges with his own presidential aspirations for the White House.

During an interview with Forbes magazine on Tuesday, West, who has actually never voted in his life, declared that he was officially taking off his red “Make America Great Again” hat as he no longer supports Trump.

“I am taking the red hat off, with this interview,” West said.

West also explained why he previously supported Trump despite the backlash he faced for it.

“One of the main reasons I wore the red hat as a protest to the segregation of votes in the Black community,” West said. “Also, other than the fact that I like Trump hotels and the saxophones in the lobby.”

West admitted that he would have run as a Republican candidate if Trump were not in the race. With Trump’s presence, he also considered running as an independent candidate.

“I would run as a Republican if Trump wasn’t there. I will run as an independent if Trump is there,” Trump said.

However, the famed rapper now claims that he is running his political campaign under the Birthday party, per Elon Musk’s advice. When asked why, he said, “Because when we win, it’s everybody’s birthday.”
