Kanye West’s White House model to be like Wakanda

In a recent interview with a popular magazine, Kanye West talked about a few of his agenda for his 2020 presidential run.

He stated, “that is a positive idea: you got Kanye West, one of the most powerful humans—I’m not saying the most because you got a lot of alien-level superpowers and it’s only collectively that we can set it free.”
