Oh boy.
West also says, "One of the main reasons I wore the red hat as a protest to the segregation of votes in the Black community."
He added he was down with POTUS because "I like Trump hotels and the saxophones in the lobby."
He told Forbes he's running as part of a new party called the Birthday Party, because ... "[W]hen we win, its everybodys birthday."
Ye sat down with Forbes in a verrrry wide-ranging interview, but primarily about his Presidential campaign ... and the would-be candidate declared he's "taking off the red hat." The only specific he offered as to why was that he doesn't like what he heard about 45 hiding in a bunker recently.
He also says he's having Elon Musk help with his campaign and is considering using him for his own space program. He's already got a VP in mind ... a Wyoming preacher.
Politics aside, Kanye says he contracted the coronavirus in February -- but didn't say if he learned that from getting tested -- and sounded like quite the anti-vaxxer. He called any coronavirus vaccine "the mark of the beast."
