Kanye West kicked off the second leg of his Saint Pablo tour at San Jose, California tonight and surprised concertgoers by talking politics and the recent election where Donald Trump came out victorious.
‘Ye, who often speaks his mind without filter, stopped his set in between to talk about Donald Trump’s win over Hillary Clinton. The rapper told fans that he didn’t vote this year, but if he had voted, Donald Trump would have been his choice. You can watch a video clip of the announcement below.
UPDATE: Here’s the full video of his rant/speech.
He also drew comparison between how rappers are influencers in this generation but someone like Trump without any political experience won the Presidential election. In addition to that, he expressed his seriousness in running for the President’s office in 2020. Let’s see if he sticks to his plan.
"Don't believe what you see when you see it on the internet, it might have been tampered with."

"Rappers are philosophers of our now, celebrities are the influencers of our now, just look at the president, he wasn't in politics & won"

Kanye just said he thinks he'll have the experience in 2020 to run for office, I'm dead serious, Kanye just said he's preparing for 2020.

Someone threw something at Kanye that hit him, he's now threatening to cancel the show. "Am I not allowed to have an opinion?"
