American rapper Kanye West, has announced he is running for US president….and he has already won the backing of billionaire Elon Musk.

West, who has been slammed by the left over his vocal support for US President Donald Trump, has said he’s launching his own presidential bid….albeit a little late in the day. While it is not yet clear if he has filed any official paperwork to get on the ballot, the deadline to add independent candidates has not yet passed

In a tweet to his millions of followers on Saturday evening, West said: “We must now realize the promise of America by trusting God, unifying our vision and building our future. I am running for president of the United States! #2020VISION“
