Kanye West has announced his bid to become the President of United States, asking former President Trump to be his running mate in 2024.
The well-known rapper, now called Ye, made the announcement in a Twitter video posted on Thursday evening.
Ye said that Trump screamed at him during the meeting about a run. “When Trump started basically screaming at me at the table telling me I was going to lose — I mean has that ever worked for anyone in history,” Ye said in the video. “I’m like hold on, hold on, hold on, Trump, you’re talking to Ye.”
Ye dubbed the video a "Mar-a-Lago debrief," during which he gave his side of the story about what happened during a visit to Trump's Florida residence on Tuesday.
The rapper said Trump was "perturbed" by Ye asking the former president to be his running mate in 2024.
"I think that was like, lower on the list of things that caught him off guard," Ye added.
Ye also spoke briefly in the video about his political beliefs. "Since we know, and all the Christians in America that love Trump know that Trump is a conservative, we're going to demand that you hold all policies directly to the Bible," he said.
The rapper also claimed Trump said something seemingly unpleasant about Ye's ex-wife, Kim Kardashian.
