Kanye West “chosen by God to be the leader of the free world”

Kanye West believes he has been called by God to run for President of the United States. During an almost three-hour interview on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast, the rapper explained why he decided to run for the White House, proclaiming it was “God calling me to take this job. “.

“I believe that my vocation is to be the leader of the free world. Even though I’m the pastor of an audience as large as hip-hop, music, or just as an influencer or celebrity, a father and a husband in my house – there couldn’t be a better time to put a visionary in the captain’s chair. That’s not to say we haven’t had visionaries before. I’m not here to bring down (current President Donald) Trump, to bring down (Democratic challenger Joe) Biden – I’m just here to express why God called me to take this job, ”he said. he explains.

Kanye West also added that his fight with COVID-19 at the start of the pandemic was the reason he waited until July 4 to announce his political ambitions. “Why did I register so late to run for president?” COVID. I had the virus, I was confined to my home, and my cousin texted me to tell me that my candidacy was ready to be announced. I gave up completely because I was shaking, getting chills, taking hot showers and eating soup, ”he said.

Kanye West effectively registered on the electoral roll at the last moment and is only eligible for the poll in 12 states. According to Federal Election Commission reports obtained by New Yorker reporter Ben Jacobs, the hip-hop star spent another $ 3 million of his own money on his campaign in September alone.
