Kanye West Holds Presidential Rally, Talks Abortion, Gun Control and More

Kanye West held his first presidential rally Sunday evening, days after filing an FEC Form 2 Statement of Candidacy under his recently announced Birthday Party. “I don’t give a fuck if I win the presidency or not,” he said at the event, stressing that his aim is to be “of service to God” (via Billboard).

West also tweeted — then deleted — a message Saturday announcing that a new album called Donda will arrive on July 24th. The album — should it come out Friday — is named after West’s mother, who died in 2007 due to complications from plastic surgery. The tracklist included with the tweet featured “Wash Us in the Blood” (featuring Travis Scott), which dropped at the end of June. A representative for West did not immediately respond to Rolling Stone‘s request for comment.

Wearing a bullet-proof vest and sporting “2020” shaved into his hair, West spoke at the rally Sunday without a microphone to a crowd observing little to no social distancing despite the escalating pandemic.
