We're so confused, and it sounds like he is, too.
Kanye West caused quite the stir on Sunday when he released a "Blexit" clothing line, in an effort to encourage the black community to abandon the Democratic party, but the rapper swears it wasn't his idea. In fact, he now says he's going to stay out of the political arena entirely and focus on his creative projects only.
“I support creating jobs and opportunities for people who need them the most, I support prison reform, I support common-sense gun laws that will make our world safer. I support those who risk their lives to serve and protect us and I support holding people who misuse their power accountable. I believe in love and compassion for people seeking asylum and parents who are fighting to protect their children from violence and war," he tweeted.
'Ye has been heavily influenced by the "Blexit" movement's creator Candace Owens, and he's now blaming the outspoken conservative blogger for slapping his name on the clothing line without his consent.
"I introduced Candace to the person who made the logo and they didn’t want their name on it so she used mine. I never wanted any association with Blexit. I have nothing to do with it,†he continued.
"My eyes are now wide open and now realize I’ve been used to spread messages I don’t believe in. I am distancing myself from politics and completely focusing on being creative !!!" he added.
This behavior is making his wife Kim incredibly "concerned" that he's becoming "unhinged," according to Us Weekly.
Maybe it's time for someone to force him to go back on his medication? Just a thought!
