However, this is not the first time that Kanye indicated his wish of running for the White House. In November 2019, at a promotional event of his collaboration with GAP, the American singer made a similar statement saying that he would run for the US President in 2024.
Kanye West had said, “When I run for President in 2024," (interrupted by audience's laughter) "What y'all laughing at? We would create so many jobs! I'm not going to run, I'm going to walk. When you see headlines saying Kanye's crazy — one in three African Americans are in jail and all the celebrities are in jail also because they can't say nothing, they got no opinion, they're so scared!"
