American rapper, Kanye West has declared his intention to run for president at the forthcoming US elections.
Triggering a social media storm, West who has been a vocal supporter of President Donald Trump, took to Twitter, to declare his candidacy for the US president.
“We must now realize the promise of America by trusting God, unifying our vision and building our future,” the rapper wrote. “I am running for president of the United States.”
West is a supporter of Trump and has, in the past, referred to him as “his brother.” He has also been known to wear the signature Trump campaign cap, with Make America Great Again written across its front.
“You don’t have to agree with Trump but the mob can’t make me not love him,” he tweeted in 2018.
At the moment, it is unclear whether West has consulted with Trump, but as it is, it seems the billionaire rapper is ready to unseat his friend.
