Kanye West believes God wants him to run for president of the United States, as he says it’s his “calling” to be the “leader of the free world”.
The 43-year-old All of The Lights hitmaker announced in July that he was throwing his hat into the ring as a candidate for the upcoming US election on 3 November, and has now claimed it’s his “calling” to be the “leader of the free world”, as he says God “called” him to “take this position”.
He said: “I believe that my calling is to be the leader of the free world.
“Even though I’m the pastor for however big my audience is in hip hop, in music or just as an influencer or celebrity, a dad and a husband in my house - there couldn’t be a better time to put a visionary in the captain’s chair.
“And that’s not to say we haven’t had visionaries before. I’m not here to down Trump, to down Biden - I’m just here to express why God has called me to take this position.”
