Kanye West Breaks From Politics and Says ‘I’ve Been Used’

4:15 PM PT — Kanye contacted us to make it clear he did not mention Donald Trump in his tweets, and he’s getting out of politics altogether.

As for being “used” … he says he was specifically referencing Blexit, and that’s it.

Kanye West says he’s been used by people to spread political messages and he’s now done with it.

Kanye just fired off a series of tweets apparently distancing himself from politics. He said, “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.”

Kanye all but says the culprit is ultra-conservative Candace Owens. He said, “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 badociation with Blexit. I have nothing to do with it.”

Owens had said, “Blexit [black exit from Democratic Party] is a renaissance and I’m blessed to say that this logo, these colors, were created by my dear friend and fellow superhero — Kanye West.”

Ye went on to thank his family and community for “supporting my ACTUAL beliefs and my vision for a better world.” He also expressed compbadion for people seeking asylum and parents fighting to protect their children from violence and war.

And, he said he supports common-sense gun laws.
