Kanye West Looked To Homeless Man For Advice On Presidential Campaign

by

Kanye West is currently working on his Presidential campaign for 2024. At the time of writing this, it seems like on a Democrat and Republican level, it will be another battle between Donald Trump and Joe Biden. Moreover, with Trump being indicted on numerous charges, the campaign trail could be filled with antics. As for Ye, he will be running as an independent. However, with Milo Yiannopoulos as his campaign manager, you can probably expect all sorts of debauchery to take place.

Recently, the BBC did a documentary on Kanye West called The Trouble With Kanye. This was meant to be an investigative piece that looks at Kanye and his current inner circle. Mobeen Azhar conducted the research and interviews in this documentary, to great results. Moreover, he and his crew even made their way to California where they frequented the Cornerstone Christian Church. This is a place that Kanye has been to quite a bit over these past few years.

Kanye West Continues To Work On His Presidential Hopes

Eventually, the BBC team met Mark, a man who lives in his car just outside of the church. As it turns out, this man had made a huge impression on Kanye West. So much so that Kanye was willing to make the man his campaign manager. Ultimately, this didn’t end up working out. “They all said I was the most religiously erudite in the room,” Mark said. “Kanye started looking to me for my opinion on every topic that came up. He called me the following Monday, the Monday before Thanksgiving. The first thing he said to me was, ‘I want you to be my Campaign Manager to run for President.’”

Now, Kanye West will be looking to prove himself to the American people. After all of his anti-semitism and bizarre ravings with Alex Jones, we doubt he will get particularly far. Instead, the average voter is simply looking to maintain normalcy in their lives. Let us know what you think of all this, in the comments section down below.

Kanye West Fires Nick Fuentes, Hires Milo Yiannopoulos

by

Many found it quite curious when news broke that Kanye West called off his presidential campaign for 2024. However, recent reports from TMZ indicate that he’s not done; he just needed a team change to keep things going. Moreover, the publication allegedly obtained emails from Milo Yiannopoulos, who is apparently now back in Ye’s camp as his Director of Political Operations. Furthermore, he sent an email to former associate Nick Fuentes, a right-wing pundit and white nationalist. “Your services on Ye’s exploratory team are terminated… and will not be required for any possible future campaign,” the email to Fuentes reportedly read.

Of course, the use of the word “possible” means that this presidential campaign might not work out at the end of the day. After all, this is Kanye West we’re talking about, and his moves could shift within a matter of days. Still, this is quite the big step in distancing himself from a former close collaborator. In fact, it was Fuentes who accompanied the Chicago rapper to Mar-A-Lago to speak with Donald Trump. From what these alleged emails indicate, YE2024 might be back into full gear.

Kanye West Shifts His Potential Campaign Team Around

Another associate of his to receive the boot was Ali Alexander, TMZ‘s report indicates. For those unaware, he recently apologized forcibly for soliciting inappropriate pictures from teenage boys. In addition to this, TMZ apparently spoke to Yiannopoulos, who confirmed the emails. He also added that he’s been talking to Kanye West about his plans in Los Angeles for the past week. Readers may recall that Milo was fired from the team after Ye’s inflammatory Alex Jones interview and antisemitic comments, and Yiannopoulos reportedly blamed Fuentes and Alexander.

Furthermore, the Yeezy mogul’s list of controversies is extensive and likely needs no summary at this point. As such, this campaign could either lean into those dangerous waters or attempt to course-correct, yet Ye’s team waddles more comfortably with the former option. Given his additional heap of legal issues at the moment, it’s not looking good for the “True Love” artist. What will this campaign mean for Kanye, and why did he say he’s not running anymore? Stick around on HNHH for potential answers and for the latest news and updates on Kanye West.

Joe Exotic Is Trying To Run For President

by

Joe Exotic, the subject of the hit Netflix docuseries, The Tiger King, wants to run for president. This is despite the fact he is currently serving a 21-year prison sentence. Sometimes, the truth can be stranger than fiction.

While this sounds like some kind of joke, Joseph Maldonado-Passage promised on his official campaign webpage when it was first put up that this is not some joke. He is completely serious. He also mentioned Carol Baskin, the woman that he tried to have killed. However, that initial post that does not seem to be up anymore. The way that the post was written made it sound like he believed the world was out to get him. That is probably the reason why it is no longer available.

Joe Exotic’s politics

Exotic’s political history is not that strong. He had tried for a long-shot presidential candidacy in 2016 but obviously failed. Exotic also tried and failed to become governor of Oklahoma. He is probably hoping that his newfound fame from Netflix will meme him up to victory, just like Trump. Joe Exotic identifies as a Libertarian. His platform involves radical changes to the country, such as only having sales taxes and making social security optional. To substitute the loss of taxes, he wants to make an immigration tax like how they do it in Belize. Gun control is only lightly touched on. Exotic thinks that the age limit to buy them should be increased to 21 and gun-related crimes have a bigger punishment than those without guns.

He also wants to put term limits on federal judges, U.S. attorneys senators, and representatives. This is part of the prison and criminal justice reform that he is suggesting. For his prison reform, he wants to expand their living quarters so that it is more 7’x12′ and to make prison food meet nutritional guidelines. His criminal justice reformation is to tear it from the root and rework the entire system. Exotic wants people to go to prison only if there is hard evidence against them. He also wants to change public defendants into private lawyers in rotation. Exotic wants to change it so that they are paid more or less by the government depending on if they win or not.

Kanye West’s 2024 Campaign Has Received Zero Donations: Report

by

Kanye West’s 2024 presidential campaign has yet to receive a single official donor. The news comes from a filing submitted Monday which was obtained by The Daily Beast. The campaign, officially registered as “Kanye 2020,” also reported spending $142,000 in expenses over the last three months of 2022.

While West hasn’t officially filed his candidacy with the FEC, he’s been vocal about planning to run for president in 2024. Back in November, he posted a video on Twitter, revealing that he had asked former President Donald Trump to be his running mate.

“I think the thing that Trump was most perturbed about, me asking him to be my vice president. I think that was like lower on the list of things that caught him off-guard,” Ye said in the video. “When Trump started basically screaming at me at the table telling me I was going to lose — I mean has that ever worked for anyone in history. I’m like hold on, hold on, hold on, Trump, you’re talking to Ye.”

At the time, West was working with Nick Fuentes as well as Milo Yiannopoulos. The filing reports two payments for Yiannopoulos: one for $9,955 and another for $40,000. Ye also paid Fuentes $9,026.46 and $5,693.41 in travel reimbursements. West later reportedly fired Yiannopoulos, who had been working as a campaign manager for the rapper.

The political failing also comes after a string of erratic behavior from Ye, who praised Adolf Hitler and made numerous other antisemitic remarks. If Kanye West continues with his 2024 campaign, it will be the second time he runs for president. His last campaign, in 2020, finished with just 60,000 votes.

Afroman Plans To Run Against Trump & Ye In 2024 Presidential Campaign

by

The 2024 presidential election is shaping up to be a wild ride. Biden will fight for a second term while Trump is apparently trying to lead the Republican party back into the Oval Office. However, it seems like there’s another candidate that everyone should look out for: Afroman.

Per TMZ, the “Because I Got High” rapper announced his presidential run during a Poplar Bluff, MO. During his show at the Black River Coliseum, he told the audience that he’ll be getting into politics with hopes of being the next POTUS.

“Can I make the biggest announcement I ever made in my life?” he asked the audience to roaring applause. “I’m running for president in 20-20-fro! We gonna get legal weed everywhere.”

Afroman’s platform is as obvious as can be. The man who made one of the greatest stoner anthems of all time said that he plans on legalizing cannabis on a federal level for recreational use — an act that Biden’s failed to do since he entered office.

“I AM RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA !! VOTE FRO, TWENTY TWENTY FRO!!” Afroman captioned the post.

In another video on his IG page, he doubled down on his plans to enter the presidential race. “It’s the hungry hustler of the American Dream, Afroman. I’m running for president is 20-20-fro. I’m gonna get recreational cannabis legal in all states. I need your vote.”

It’s easy to dismiss the video as being a joke but members of Afroman’s team told TMZ that he’s series about his campaign. Though it’s apparent that he’s passionate about legalizing cannabis on a larger scale but he hasn’t mentioned his stance on any other issues, whether domestic or international. His team also said that he’ll be running as an independent candidate.

Afroman’s yet to file the appropriate paperwork but his team says he’s in the process of filling it out.
