Is Kanye finally ready to say goodbye to his problematic political endeavors and move on? Definitely sounds too good to be true, but is something I am sure many of us have been wanting since he announced he was a Donald Trump supporter.
The rapper, who just earlier this month attended a lunch with Donald Trump, announced Tuesday morning that he will be distancing himself from politics. In a series of tweets on Twitter, West explained that he had nothing to do with the constructing of the brand logo “blexit”, which encourages African Americans to leave the Democratic party.
The movement, which was originated by Candace Owens, was rumored to be a project created by the music mogul but Kanye has made it very clear that is not the case. West explained that “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.”
According to The Guardian, Owens originally claimed that West created both the logo and the colors for the new brand, but soon after she insisted the brand was hers. She informed followers that “BLEXIT is a project that is mine entirely. I am blessed that Ye [West] introduced me to a designer who despite having totally different beliefs than me, helped me craft some beautiful letters that I used on the BLEXIT caps.” She further explained that “#BLEXIT is about the beautiful stories of so many black people who have awakened themselves to the possibilities of our future, as Americans. The press is trying to use Kanye’s name to create drama and further divisiveness which is WRONG.”
Over the past year West has continued to be on the forefront of criticism due to his political views and support of Trump. Maybe the break will allow the star to come to his senses and quit his bizarre behavior which has led to his critique and disapproval.
