Despite the late enrollment, Kanye West is pushing forward with his plans for president, and he wants JAY-Z to be his mate. Prior to his first campaign rally in Charleston, South Carolina, on Sunday, Ye spoke with Z93 Jamz host Kris Kaylin. During the interview, the presidential hopeful shared his policies and revealed his ideal running mate, JAY-Z.
“You know who should be my running mate is Shawn Carter,” said the Yeezy mogul, who looked at the “SC” state abbreviation and took it as a sign that Shawn “JAY-Z” Carter should be his running mate. “I look at the codes; I look at the signs.”
But when asked if he presented the idea to JAY, he responded, “You know I ain’t talk to my brother in about five years or something like that. And the fact that we ain’t talked in so long, that’s how you know we’re real brothers. ‘Cause the fake ones could be mad at you and still pull up, ’cause they getting a check.”
However, the news comes after Kanye had already announced that his pick for the vice-presidential candidate is Michelle Tidball, a Christian preacher from Wyoming. “She would be open to taking another position if we found another running mate,” added Ye.
Meanwhile, Kanye and JAY have been at odds for years now, although the Watch the Throne collaborators did reunite at Diddy’s 50th birthday in December. Then, Kanye West admitted that he felt “hurt” when JAY-Z and Beyonce failed to attend to his and Kim Kardashian’s wedding in 2014 and called out the superstar couple on stage during his “Saint Pablo Tour” in 2016.
Despite their fallout and Kanye’s comments, JAY maintained that he will always have a love for Ye. “That’s my brother,” JAY told David Letterman in a 2018 interview. “We’re beyond friends. Really, like literally, my little brother is Kanye, and like your little brother, things happen sometimes.”
During his campaign rally in South Carolina on Sunday, Ye made some controversial comments about Harriet Tubman. He cited that the Underground Railroad conductor “never actually freed the slaves, she just had them work for other white people.” Again, he burst into tears while speaking out against abortion, saying he and Kim had considered terminating their first pregnancy with North West. “I almost killed my daughter,” he said.
The billionaire rapper’s family is reported concerned for his wellbeing and is believed to be in the middle of a serious bipolar episode.
