Love him or hate him, Kanye West never ceases to make headlines. While his 2020 presidential campaign might’ve been seen by many as a blip on the radar, new whispers suggest that the rapper-turned-presidential candidate is not done with politics. And this time, the stakes might be higher, and the race more earnest.
A Divine Duty?
There’s no denying that Kanye West, fondly referred to as ‘Ye’ by fans, is a man of deep convictions. An insider recently spilled the beans to The U.S. Sun stating that Ye is “100 percent still running for president” come 2024. While official announcements are still pending, the grapevine is buzzing with Ye’s prep for his political journey. His campaign’s pulse? Merchandise dubbed “YE24” signaling his intent to make another run for the office.
But what’s driving Kanye this time? According to sources, Ye’s motivations are rooted in a profound sense of duty. He is reportedly convinced that he’s on a divine mission. “Ye believes he’s the next president because God sent him to be a vessel to bridge freedom, equality, healthy living, and economic growth to all generations. He believes with Christ at the center, focusing on farming, technology, and sustainable living is the only way to save mankind.”
The 2020 Attempt: Learning from the Past
Flashback to 2020 when Kanye declared his intentions to run for the presidency under the banner of “The Birthday Party.” An unconventional choice, he elucidated, saying that when his party would win, it would be akin to “everybody’s birthday”. While his run resulted in a modest 60,000 votes from a dozen states, dwarfed by behemoths like Joe Biden and Donald Trump, it was enough to stir discussions around celebrity involvements in politics.
The Changed Dynamics of 2024: Divorce, New Marriage, and Renewed Hopes
There’s no doubt that Kanye West’s public perception has undergone significant shifts since his 2020 run. For starters, his much-publicized divorce from reality TV mogul, Kim Kardashian, paints a picture of vulnerability, reminding the public that celebrities, despite their stardom, face human challenges too. In the wake of this split, Kanye’s union with Bianca Censori, who he secretly wed earlier this year, brings a new chapter.
Insiders suggest that Kanye perceives his life’s upheavals, including overcoming controversies like anti-Semitic comments, as an emblem of resilience. In his eyes, “his divorce from Kim shows that he is human and vulnerable but his success beyond anti-Semitic uproar is the perfect story of overcoming adversity.” And when it comes to the potential First Lady, he believes Bianca, described as “unorthodox, intelligent, and supportive,” would fit the role seamlessly.
Recent reports shed light on the harmonious relationship between Kanye and Censori, hinting that her influence on his life has been profoundly positive, especially on his creative endeavors.
What Lies Ahead?
As the 2024 U.S. election draws near, political aficionados and casual observers alike await Kanye’s next move. With a history of being both eccentric and unpredictable, predicting his campaign’s trajectory remains a challenge. Whether his presidential aspirations will be realized or fizzle out in the limelight’s intensity is a question only time will answer. However, one thing is certain; Kanye West’s potential run promises to be anything but dull.
