Rapper Kanye West spoke about his future political aspirations and his plan to run for office once again during a recent interview on “Good Morning America.”
The rapper made headlines when he ran for president in 2020 and said he isn’t done with Politics yet in an interview that ranged from talking about his personal life, to business plans and eventually the political.
The rapper said, “Yes. Absolutely,” when asked if he was planning to potentially run for office in the future.
West’s voice on political issues didn’t start with the 2020 presidential run, however. He previously criticized former President George W. Bush on national television and later supported former President Donald Trump.
Billboard reported that 2005 was likely West’s first time to make public political statements when he had harsh words for Bush in the wake of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans: “George Bush doesn’t care about Black people,” West said bluntly.
Bush later mentioned West’s comments in an interview, calling it “one of the most disgusting moments in my presidency.”
In 2015 after marrying Kim Kardashian, Kanye’s relatively new wife used her social media influence to endorse former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton for the presidency and Kanye found himself in the background of a snap used to promote the candidate.
