Kanye: Why Are Ya'll Laughing? I Am Running For POTUS In 2024

Rapper Kanye West claimed that he is running for president in 2024 while speaking at Fast Company’s Innovation Festival in New York on Thursday.

West, who previously pitched the idea of running for president in 2020 but didn’t follow through, said that when he runs “for president in 2024, we are going to definitely–,” but the 42-year-old artist and fashion designer was cut off by laughter in the crowd before he could finish his thought.

“What y’all laughing at?” he snapped back, before suggesting that he is serious.
