Rapper Kanye West has officially submitted the required documentation to be on the ballot in Missouri for the November general election.
According to Maura Browning, a spokeswoman for the Missouri secretary of state, a representative for the rapper / producer submitted the necessary paperwork just minutes before the state deadline. West needed 10,000 signatures to get to the ballot in Missouri.
West has also submitted documents to appear on the ballot in November in Oklahoma and Illinois. The deadline in South Carolina was missed last week.
The musician’s intermittent presidential campaign has been fraught with controversy from the start, as many people question his mental state after a series of tweets and inflammatory and embarrassing appearances in recent weeks.

West visited a hospital in Wyoming on Saturday shortly after apologizing to his wife, Kim Kardashian, for his erratic behavior, according to a report.
TMZ reported that a source close to the rapper said he went to the hospital out of anxiety but decided not to stay when he noticed how many people were there. He arranged for an ambulance to go to his ranch, where emergency medical technicians checked his vital signs, including heart rate and blood pressure, before determining that he was not in danger.
The incident took place hours after he issued a public apology to his wife on Twitter.
“I would like to apologize to my wife Kim for publicizing something that was a private matter. I did not cover her as she has covered me.” [sic] Kim, I mean I know I hurt you. Please forgive me. Thank you for always being there for me, “wrote West.

Although West did not specify what “private matter” he was referring to, it is likely related to his admission during a campaign rally in South Carolina last weekend that the couple considered abortion when they were expecting their first child, their daughter. North.
In response to the behavior, Kardashian broke her silence about her previously revealed bipolar disorder, noting that things can be “complicated” when it comes to her husband’s mental health.
“As many of you know, Kanye has bipolar disorder. Anyone who has this or has a loved one in their life who knows, knows how incredibly complicated and painful it is to understand,” begins Kardashian’s statement shared on Instagram.
