NEW YORK: Rapper Kanye West yesterday said he one day would helm the Oval Office, a left-field suggestion made during a lengthy interview that touched on subjects from porn to Donald Trump.
“For the greatest artist in human existence to put a red hat on was God’s practical joke to all liberals. Like, ‘No! Not Kanye!'” said the performer, who has made a very public turn to Christianity in recent months. “Some people drown themselves in drugs, and I drown myself in my addiction: sex,” West said, explaining he discovered pornography at a young age and became addicted to sex after his mother died in 2007.
With “Jesus Is King,” set to drop overnight today, the Chicago-raised mercurial artist is expected to release music with a much stronger message of evangelical salvation than his past gospel-tinged work.
