Kanye West "definitely" is running for president in 2020.
After an appearance at New York Fashion Week to debut the second season of his Yeezy clothing line, West reflected on his future moves, confirming he's still planning on running for president in an interview with Vanity Fair.
West stunned viewers during the 2015 MTV VMAs when he announced his 2020 run after receiving the Video Vanguard Award from Taylor Swift. The applause that erupted moments after his announcement was something unusual for the artist, who has been the butt of jokes since he stole the microphone from Swift six years ago during his infamous VMAs incident.
West added that, as the idea of running for office is starting to set in, he feels he has to grow up and become the son that's the product of his parents: his father, who has two masters degrees, and his mother, who holds a Ph.D.
