MOSCOW (Sputnik) - US rapper Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, has announced that he will join the race for US president in 2024.
In a video interview with a US tabloid during a visit to one of Ye's ateliers, the cameraman asked him if he was going to run for president, and the rapper replied with a simple "Yes." The video tour amply showcased merch for his Ye24 campaign.
“This is Milo [Yiannopoulos, a US media personality famous for his right-wing opinions] right here, working on the campaign,” Ye said.
