In dramatic fashion, artist and clothing designer Kanye West announced that he’ll be distancing himself from politics to focus on his creative ventures.
Signaling what appears to be a departure from his recent political statements, Kanye wrote in a Tuesday tweet, „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,“ he added.
Since Kanye has a tendency to delete past tweets, see the screenshot, below:
The artist bucked Hollywood norms when he came out in support for President Donald Trump. Earlier this month, he continued to stun the world with an Oval Office meeting with the president; wearing a „Make America Great Again“ hat, Kanye hugged the president and told him he loved him.
„There was something about when I put this hat on it made me feel like Superman,“ Kanya said of the „MAGA“ hat, adding, „You made a Superman — that’s my favorite superhero — you made a Superman cape for me.“
Kanye received immense backlash from celebrities and media elites over his support for President Trump, though Kanye always made it clear that he and the president have numerous areas of disagreement concerning policy. Most notably, a CNN panel slammed the successful businessman as uneducated and a „token negro.“
Most recently, Kanye reportedly introduced conservative activist Candace Owens to fashion designers to help her deign the logos for a movement called „Blexit,“ which encourages black Americans to exit the Democrat Party.
The Daily Wire reports:
Tuesday morning on Fox & Friends, Owens emphasized that she created the concept of Blexit „separate of [Kanye].“
