Kanye West has announced that he intends to run for US President in 2024.

The rapper confirmed the move last weekend during an interview on Consequence of Sound where he is quoted as saying: “Yes… It’s simple…. It’s just we’re moving toward the future.” 

He also revealed that alt-right political figure Milo Yiannopoulos “is working on the campaign.” Yiannopoulos, a former Breitbart senior editor, most recently worked as an intern for Republican congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene.

Back in July 2020, the rapper announced the launch of his presidential campaign under the “Birthday Party” banner. He eventually got on the ballot in 12 states and brought in just 70,000 votes total.

Ye has been under the microscope recently due to his antisemitic rants, violent rhetoric against Kim Kardashian’s ex-boyfriend Pete Davidson, and promoting a “White Lives Matter” t-shirt while premiering his Yeezy line at Paris Fashion Week.
