Kanye West had earlier attempted to run for US Presidency in 2020, for which he launched a campaign under the ‘Birthday Party’ banner. Unfortunately for the ‘Gold Digger’ rapper, the campaign didn’t result in a win. As per a report by Billboard Magazine, Kanye had registered his party late. He made a single major appearance throughout his campaign, accompanied by just two video advertisements at the last moment. Ultimately, he only got on the ballot in 12 states out of 50, with a mere turnout of 70,000 votes.

Kanye West controversies

Rapper Kanye West has come under fire for recent anti-Semitic remarks he made. Adidas is the most recent company to sever ties with West, who last year changed his name to Ye. Adidas said it doesn't tolerate anti-Semitism or any other form of hate speech in a statement to Newsweek. According to Forbes, the transaction was worth $1.5 billion. Other companies have also cancelled their contracts with the rapper due to his erratic actions and remarks.

Meanwhile, West has also been banned from Twitter and Instagram over controversial posts. He had faced a similar action in March too when he referred to Daily Show host Trevor Noah with a racial slur on Instagram. The post was deleted by the platform and the rapper was handed over a 24-hour ban.

Meanwhile, Trump recently announced that he would seek the Republican Party nomination to contest in the 2024 elections after losing to current President Joe Biden in 2020.
