While speaking at the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards last August, West concluded his 13-minute monologue by saying, "And yes, as you probably could’ve guessed by this moment, I have decided in 2020 to run for president."
In a recent interview with the BBC, the 39-year-old rapper seemed to double down on his bid for the presidency.
"When I talk about the idea of being president, I’m not saying I have any political views," West said. "I just have a view on humanity, on people, on the truth. If there is anything that I can do with my time to somehow make a difference while I'm still alive, I'm all for it."
