Kanye Westannounced he was running for president in 2020 during the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday.
The bold declaration came at the end of an epic acceptance speech for a lifetime achievement award.
Taylor Swift honored the star with a gushing introduction that was a nod to their first encounter, in which the 38-year-old famously rushed the stage when Taylor Swift accepted an award back in 2009, claiming that his friend Beyonce was a more worthy recipient.
To wrap up his speech on Sunday, Kanye simply said: ‘As you probably could’ve guessed by this moment, I have decided, in 2020, to run for president.’
He had, however, announced earlier in the epic speech that he had smoked a joint before heading up on stage.
‘Y’all might be thinking right now, “I wonder did he smoke something before he came out here?” And the answer is yes, I rolled up a little something, I knocked the edge off,’ he said.
