After his illuminating speech at the VMAs on Sunday, which concluded with the statement "I have decided, in 2020, to run for president," Kanye West is already banking some big celeb endorsements. One early supporter: Rihanna.
"I mean people are voting for [Donald] Trump," Rihanna told Entertainment Tonight on Monday. "Who wouldn't vote for Kanye?!" Which, true. But she also says she was totally into the speech, which, huh? "I'm really, really elated with his speech," she told the outlet. "His speech was incredible." Okay.
But RiRi isn't the only performer getting on the Kanye bandwagon: Apparently Miley Cyrus was so impressed by Yeezy's commentary that she's already flip-flopped on her 2020 vote. At least according to Kanye's biggest competitor: "Miley Cyrus said, 'Oh, I was going to vote for Trump but now I'm voting for [Kanye],'" Mr. Trump himself told Rolling Stone, "So it sounded like she was all made up for me and he took her away."
The presidential hopeful told the mag he doesn't quite get the comparisons some people have made between him and West, but yeah, he's a fan, so he hopes there's a face-off in the future: "He's actually a different kind of person than people think. He's a nice guy," Trump told Rolling Stone. "I hope to run against him someday."
So, can we start making posters that say "Yay for 'Ye '20 " yet? ("Yes to Yeezy '20"? Thoughts? Ideas? I'm open.) Also, casting the first official vote for Rihanna to make a "Kanye's Presidential Umbrella (Ella ella eh eh eh)" remix now. (Jay Z, are you available?)
