As American rapper and
lover to reality star Kim Kardashian Kanye West received the MTV's highest honour
at the Video Music Awards he said he would run for president in 2020.
But the rapper made the
announcement in a rambling speech at the ceremony in Los Angeles - and after he
admitted smoking something to calm his nerves.
Watched by his pregnant
wife Kim Kardashian, he said: "I still don't understand awards shows, I
don't understand how they get five people who work their entire life, sold
records, sold concert tickets, to stand on a red carpet, to come and for the first
time in their life stand on the chopping block and be considered a loser.
"I don't understand
it, I'm conflicted bro. I just want people to like me more but f*** that bro.
"I will die for the
art, for what I believe in and the art ain't always going to be polite. I bet
they are thinking right now if I smoked something before this and the answer is
yes, I rolled up a little something to take the edge off."
After holding his head in
his hands for an extended period of time, he added: "It's about ideas,
people who believe in truth. And yes, as you probably could have guessed, I
have decided in 2020 to run for president."
Nice to dream
