Kanye West announced his plans to run for election as US president in 2020 earlier this year, and told Vanity Fair that he had received lots of support since he made his ambitions clear.
Speaking at a fundraising event, the current US president Barack Obama offered some words of advice, including being cool dealing with strange characters who behave like they are on a reality TV show.
He said: “First of all, you’ve got to spend a lot of time dealing with some strange characters who behave like they’re on a reality TV show. “So you’ve got to be cool with that.”
Obama had clearly done his homework on Kanye as he referenced the rapper’s fifth studio album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, for his next tip.
He added: “This is the second tip, saying that you have a beautiful, dark, twisted fantasy. That’s what’s known as ‘off message’ in politics, you can’t something like that.”
‘And number three: do you really think that this country is gonna elect a black guy from the south side of Chicago with a funny name to be president of the United States? That is crazy. That’s cray.’
Kanye West who was scheduled to meet the President the same day responded by gifting the President 2 pairs of Yeezy sneakers which Kim K shared on her IG page.
