After roughly four months of campaigning, millions of dollars of his own money invested into the race, and accumulating about 60,000 votes in the 12 states where he appeared on the ballot, Kanye West has officially given up his run for president… this time.
Two days after election night, the rapper agreed to speak with me over Zoom. I was at home. He was in his home in Wyoming.
Bea: Thanks for doing this with me, Kanye.
Kanye: [silence]
Bea: Kanye?
Kanye: This is Ye.
Bea: Good. Great.
Kanye: [silence]
Bea: Anyway… I want to start off by saying that I’m sorry you lost the presidential election…
Kanye: [silence]
Bea: I mean not sorry… definitely not sorry. But you know, that’s what you’re supposed to say when someone loses….
Kanye: No… I was snubbed by the people but I was recognized by God.
Bea: Great. Glad to hear this loss didn’t hurt your ego.
Kanye: I will be president in 2024 and the reason why I will make a great president is because I’m sensitive. I’m here to serve. Even as a Gemini, I feel the energy in the room, I read body language, I read this energy, and—
Bea: Awesome. Let’s try to keep answers short.
Kanye: [silence]
Bea: Let’s talk about who you voted f—
Kanye: Two days ago I voted for the first time in my life, and I did it for the person I trust more than anyone. Me. I voted for Ye.
Bea: Sure. Makes sense. But I read that you voted in Wyoming where your name wasn’t on the ballot and write-in candidates are only counted if they win the election…
Kanye: [silence]
Bea: So technically you didn’t vote.
Kanye: I did vote.
Bea: You’re right. But it didn’t count.
Kanye: I’m going to tell you something, I don’t care if I win the presidency or not. I’m not here to win. I care that there are homeless people in front of the Gucci store.
Bea: What Gucci store?
Kanye: All of them. There are homeless everywhere. They are out there.
Bea: Okay… so you want to fight for the homeless?
Kanye: Listen to me, I want to get to a point…. actually, we shall all get to a point where we communicate as simple as Yoda. There are so many words and people get caught up in the words and we’re having fights over words and—
Bea: What does that have to do with anything? I thought we were talking about the homeless…
Kanye: We are.
Bea: So… the homeless need to communicate more simple?
Kanye: No. We all do so there are no more homeless people in the world.
Bea: Gotcha.
[Silence]
Bea: And what about Co—
Kanye: Praise God for you. I’m not answering questions anymore.

I find this interviewer extremely rude. Interupting cow.
So you liked it?
I liked it.
This is why famous people don’t want to interviews, because of assholes who treat them with no respect like this. Why the hell would you interview someone to cut them off and insult them? Then you choose the worst photo of him for the article. Definitely not professional and a red flag for other celebrities.
