Recently hospitalised rapper, Kanye West took to Twitter to explain why he visited US President Elect Donald Trump at Trump Towers in New York on Tuesday, December 13, 2016.
He hinted that it might have something to do with his ambition to run for president in 2014 as he said it was important to “have a direct line of communication with the president-elect”.
Kanye West, who said he “just wanted to take a picture” when journalists questioned him after the meeting with Mr. Trump, said, “I wanted to meet with Trump today to discuss multicultural issues. These issues included bullying, supporting teachers, modernizing curriculums, and violence in Chicago.
“I feel it is important to have a direct line of communication with our future President if we truly want change,” he added.
The rapper who had earlier signified his intention to run for the American presidency in 2020 in an apparent meltdown at a concert recently, shared a hashtag #2024, which may mean that he had changed his mind about 2020.
