Kanye West Is Distancing Himself From Politics After “Blexit” Backlash
Aristotle’s worst student, Kanye West, is saying that he’s going to try “distancing” himself from the political world after his recent month-long MAGA tour of dropping by offices to drop insane information, and interrupting the closing of a popular sketch show to rant about the amazingness of Donald Trump, and saying we should get rid of the 13th amendment, and acting insane in the Oval Office, and then being associated with that entire “Blexit” fiasco. Well, apparently those t-shirts were the bridge too far for Kanye’s immense mind, and he is trying to pull a 180 and take it all back.
Kanye sent a series of tweets out yesterday where he tried once more to clarify his political beliefs and to distance himself from BFF Candace Owens’ “Blexit” campaign which tries to get black Americans to stop being Democrats. Kanye is claiming that he was “used to spread messages I don’t believe in” but what he should have tweeted was he was “used to spread messages I don’t have the education or rational intelligence to understand.”
I support creating jobs and opportunities for people who need them the most, I support prison reform, I support common-sense gun laws that will make our world safer.

I support those who risk their lives to serve and protect us and I support holding people who misuse their power accountable.
I believe in love and compassion for people seeking asylum and parents who are fighting to protect their children from violence and war.

I would like to thank my family, loved ones, and community for supporting my ACTUAL beliefs and my vision for a better world.

I introduced Candace to the person who made the logo and they didn’t want their name on it so she used mine. I never wanted any association with Blexit. I have nothing to do with it.

My eyes are now wide open and now realize I’ve been used to spread messages I don’t believe in. I am distancing myself from politics and completely focusing on being creative !!!

Kanye, we all know what your “ACTUAL” beliefs are: you love yourself and attention and can neither get enough of yourself or attention. Very clear. It’s called the Kardashian Party; they’re a small independent party with a shit ton of money and surprising influence.
Political activist Shaun King is never one to let black people issues go without comment, and this morning called out Kanye for the true purpose of his political distancing:
To be clear, Kanye told people yesterday that he still supports Donald Trump, still believes in the MAGA message, and was careful to not say otherwise.

What? After Kanye went on a politically motivated month-long rant during the most fraught political time in modern American history it negatively affected his shoe sales?! I am shocked and bewildered! Those shoes are so well designed you just assume they sell themselves.
I’m sure that Kanye is just trying to save some of his image since Kim Kardashian West hates when their collective image affects her highlighter sales and their bank account. At least, I hope it’s just to save his image. If Kanye has really seen the light and become sentient again that spells bad news for his relationship with Kris Jenner. You know she doesn’t like when her tricks have minds of their own.
