Kanye West Says He’ll Vote for Trump in 2020 Election

West described how people in the music industry told him releasing a Gospel album could hinder his fame, as could endorsing President Trump’s agenda. West’s Gospel album was number one on the charts.
“Jesus Is King was number one. I was told my career would end if I wasn’t ‘with her,’” West said, referencing Hillary Clinton’s campaign slogan in 2016. “What kind of campaign is that, anyway? That’s like if Obama’s campaign was ‘I’m with black.’ What’s the point of being a celebrity if you can’t have an opinion?
‘I buy real estate. It’s better now than when Obama was in office. They don’t teach you in school about buying property. They teach you how to become somebody’s property,’ he claimed.
Asked whether he was worried about being an outcast in liberal Hollywood due to his political preferences, West said: ‘Celebrities are scared! Celebrities don’t have the real voice… What’s the point of being a celebrity if you can’t have an opinion?’
The controversial rapper also trashed Hillary Clinton’s 2016 ‘I’m With Her’ slogan, stating: “I was told my career would end if I wasn’t with [Hillary Clinton]. What kind of campaign is that, anyway?”
West continued. “That’s like if Obama’s campaign was ‘I’m with black.’ What’s the point of being a celebrity if you can’t have an opinion? Everybody make their own opinion! You know?”
‘Both my parents were freedom fighters… they didn’t fight for me to be told by white people which white person I can vote on!’
