President Kanye West? Amid the rapper’s ongoing controversies, he is officially throwing his hat in the ring for the 2024 presidential election.The “Stronger” rapper, 45, launched his campaign via his newly resurrected Twitter account on Thursday, November 24. (New platform owner, Elon Musk, reinstated West’s profile earlier this month after being previously barred for sharing antisemitic messages.) West captioned a series of campaign ads with the hashtag “Ye24.”One of the Chicago native’s ads even mentioned his recent antisemitic controversy, sharing footage from his interview with Tucker Carlson and Dave Chappelle’s critical Saturday Night Live monologue.West — who previously ran for POTUS in 2020 against President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump — has recently been the subject of controversy.

The Yeezy designer first made headlines last month after he wore a “White Lives Matter” shirt to his Paris Fashion Week show.

While the likes of Gigi Hadid, Hailey Bieber (née Baldwin), Diddy and Vogue’s Gabriella Karefa-Johnson have called out his sartorial choices, he’s continued to defend his actions.“I do certain things from a feeling, I just channel the energy,” West said during an October 6 episode of Tucker Carlson Tonight. “It just feels right.

It’s a gut instinct, a connection with God and just brilliance.”The Grammy Award winner continued to double down on his stance, claiming individuals of Jewish faith were falsely to blame for the social media attacks against him.
