West is undoubtedly a musical legend, as he is the winner of 21 Grammy Awards and has created some of the most critically acclaimed music of all time. West started in the hip-hop industry as a producer of icons like Jay-Z, Beyonce, John Legend, and many others.

The western presidential race
West has made many references to running for the position of President of the United States, primarily on Twitter with # Kanye2020.
West’s tweets have recently caught the attention of another polarizing public figure, Elon Musk. The businessman’s eccentric quote tweeted the eccentric musician’s announcement that he will run for president in 2020, with the response “You have my full support!”
Full support may have been a hasty choice of words, as Musk removed the answer a few days after tweeting. West’s candidacy is controversial, both because of West’s past support for Donald Trump and West’s ideas for the country. The rapper-turned-candidate recently shared his thoughts on the presidency and plans for the United States with Forbes, which included a particularly interesting idea about making the United States more like a famous Marvel Comics city.
West’s vision of an American-type Wakanda
In his interview with Forbes, West spoke on a wide variety of topics, including Donald Trump, Joe Biden, and West’s COVID-19 infection. West also discussed his plan to make the United States more like the fictional city of Wakanda from the popular Marvel movies. Black Panther and Avengers: Infinity War. The rapper and alleged presidential candidate said:
“Many Africans don’t like the movie[[[[Black Panther]and representation of themselves in … Wakanda. But I’m going to use the Wakanda frame right now because it’s the best explanation of how our design group will feel in the White House … That’s a positive idea: you have Kanye West, one of the most powerful humans. I’m not saying he more because you have many alien-level superpowers and only collectively can we unleash it. Let’s go back to Wakanda. . . like in the Wakanda movie when the king went to visit that leading scientist to put his shoes on. Only the amount of innovation that can happen, the amount of innovation in medicine, like the big pharmaceutical companies, let’s work, innovate, together. This is not going to be the murder of Nipsey Hussle, they are making a documentary, we have so many soldiers dying for our freedom, our freedom of information, that there is a cure for AIDS, there will be a mixture of great pharmaceuticals and holistic products. “
West touches on a wide variety of themes in this quote, some of which are not so easily linked. This free tirade could be considered West’s political platform, which until now has been poorly defined. West is also not legally running for president, as he has not filed any paperwork with the Federal Election Committee, which is the government body in charge of elections in the United States.
