Rapper Kanye West said he one day would helm the Oval Office, a left-field suggestion made during a lengthy interview that touched on subjects from his music to US President Donald Trump.
Hours before the long-anticipated, much-delayed release of his purported gospel album, the 42-year-old artist told Zane Lowe of Apple Music’s Beats 1 show that his support for the current US president had been a way to razz Democrats.
West also said he would one day be commander-in-chief: “There will be a time when I will be the president of the US, and I will remember… any founder that didn’t have the capacity to understand culturally what we were doing.”
It was unclear to whom the artist was referring.
West said he asked his collaborators on his ninth studio album ‘Jesus Is King’ to abstain from premarital sex, also saying he suffered from an addiction of watching adult content that he has since kicked.
