Kanye West ‘will be President of the United States’ according to Kanye West (Picture: FilmMagic)

Kanye West is set to drop new album Jesus Is King any second now, after he ‘fixes mixes’ on a few of the songs, that is.

But while we all wait for that, the 42-year-old has taken some time to throw his hat in the ring for President, again.

During an interview with Zane Lowe the Gold Digger rapper – who has come under fire in the past for his support of Donald Trump – teased running for the White House job in 2024.

‘There will be a time when I will be President of the United States,’ he told the host.


‘And I will remember…any founder that didn’t have the capacity to understand culturally what we’re doing.’

The dad-of-four also opened up about his friendship with Trump, as well as the backlash he received for sporting a Make America Great Again cap.

But he’s not fussed about the drama, because he’s ‘the greatest human artist of all time’.

‘Give me some other examples where someone is saying what isn’t culturally what you’re supposed to say…,’ he continued.

‘Give me an example where someone is saying what you’re not supposed to say. You don’t want to say it, do you liberal?

‘And now—I am unquestionably, undoubtedly, the greatest human artist of all time. It’s not even a question at this point. It’s just a fact.

‘For the greatest artist in human existence to put a red hat on was God’s practical joke to all liberals. Like, “Nooo, not Kanye!”’

We’re not sure putting a red hat on was quite the reason for the backlash, hun, but anyway…

Ye might want to hold off on those ‘Kanye For President’ t-shirts, as he still has an entire album to finish and release.

After the All Falls Down rapper promised us all he would be dropping Jesus Is King at midnight on 25 October, fans were left disappointed when said album failed to materialise.

Taking to Twitter, he explained the reason for the hold-up, telling his 29.2million followers: ‘To my fans Thank you for being loyal & patient.

‘We are specifically fixing mixes on “Everything We Need” “Follow God” & “Water”. We not going to sleep until this album is out!’

Fans were understandably a little less than impressed, as he’d previously pushed back the release date from September.

Let’s hope Yeezy’s Presidential run is actually on time…
