The artist, who goes by the name Ye, posted a series of videos on his Twitter account late Thursday, accompanied by the “Ye 24” logo.

In one of them, the 45-year-old rapper talks about a conversation with ex-president Donald Trump, who himself announced his candidacy for the 2024 US elections.

“I asked him to be my vice president,” Ye says, adding that Donald Trump “started yelling at him.” The music and fashion lover has already made an unlikely bid for the 2020 US election, with just 70,000 votes.

The 45th president of the United States confirmed on Friday that he had lunch with the rap star at his Florida residence, but said the meal was “quick” and “uneventful”.

Yeh has been at the center of a series of controversies in recent weeks for wearing a T-shirt that took on the anti-racist slogan “Black Lives Matter” and for posting comments on Instagram and Twitter that were deemed anti-racist. Semitic.
