Kanye West has asked Donald Trump to be his running mate after confirming his plans to launch a 2024 presidential bid.
The 45-year-old rapper divided the internet when he announced his political plans in a video posted to Twitter on Sunday, following his previous unsuccessful attempt in 2020.
Kanye, legally known as Ye, has since been keeping fans updated on his presidential bid and says he visited the former President at his Mar-A-Lago home in Florida.
Taking to Twitter, Ye wrote: "First time at Mar-a-Lago. Rain and traffic can’t believe I kept President Trump waiting.
"And I had on jeans. Yikes."
He then added: "What you guys think his response was when I asked him to be my running mate in 2024?"
Kanye included a poll with the options 'That's very Ye' and 'That's very Nay'. 'That's very Ye' is currently leading with almost 60% of the votes.
People took to the comments to share their opinions on the matter, with one person tweeting: "He probably said hell no." Another said: "Fam u & him NEED to sit this one out"
Other people were all for the idea, with one fan commenting: "I speak for everyone when I say we support kanye!" Another added: "I got your back!"
Kanye has also enlisted the help of far-right commentator Milo Yiannopoulos for his campaign, with the former Breitbart News editor already working on the plans.
"This is Milo right here, working on the campaign," Ye said in the video, which was posted by the Twitter account PatriotTakes. One of the men in the clip asked if it was an official announcement.
"I guess it is," Milo replied before adding, "Thanks, I accept."
The cameraman then asked Kanye if he would be running to which he replied: "Yes. It's simple 'cause ain’t nobody can tell me, you know, 'You should say this, you shouldn’t say that,' you know?
"It’s just, we’re moving towards the future."
The Gold Digger hitmaker famously ran for president in 2020, but eventually conceded his bid after winning just 50,000 votes.
