Kanye West says he is giving up politics. We will see.

Kanye West, the rapper who became the hero of some conservatives by forcefully supporting President Trump, tweeted Tuesday that he was "used to spreading messages I do not believe in" and pledged to stay at the policy gap.

Such a statement, made in a series of statements on Twitter, requires an immediate list of warnings. To say that you are going to do something is a little different from doing it, and Mr. West has been impulsive on social networks. Few will be surprised if the wish does not last long.

Nevertheless, if it were a real turning point, its exit from the political arena would have concrete consequences. And his tweets were the closest to the regrets he had cast for his highly criticized political commentary, which disappointed many of his fans and peers and was praised by conservative personalities.

Mr. West's withdrawal from politics would also deny the Conservatives what some of them thought was a major ally in recruiting Black people into the Republican Party. (There was no sign that it happened.)

And that could make losing an air of side to a show that has attracted attention while the country is under the shock of intense partisanship and violence in the shadow of the upcoming mid-term elections. -parcours.

Converting his cultural cachet into political notoriety, Mr. West had visited Mr. Trump in the Oval Office in mid-October and made himself the advocate of his support for the show "Saturday Night Live". A broad press coverage followed each of his political statements, including a call for abolish the 13th amendmentwho banned slavery.

We do not know exactly what messages he was referring to on Tuesday, nor to what extent his regrets extend. Everything seems to have started with a conflict with Candace Owens, a conservative black activist.

Mrs. Owens promoted a movement and a brand known as Blexit, in which she encouraged Blacks to leave the Democratic Party. Mr. West stated that he had introduced him to a designer to create a logo for the brand, but now he was bristling with being linked to it.

"I've never wanted to associate with Blexit," he tweeted Tuesday. "I have nothing to do with that."

He also listed some of his political beliefs, including the need to reform prisons, firearms laws and "love and compassion for those who seek asylum".

For a rapper who, in 2005, criticized the government's response to Hurricane Katrina, categorically declaring that "George Bush is not interested in blacks", his political turn to the right was wreaked by the protests of many friends and fans. On his Twitter account, he documented text message exchanges with people, including John Legend, who challenged him during his public statements. He recorded a song, "Ye vs. the People", in which T.I, in a back and forth with Mr. West, stated that he was "stubborn, selfish, even crazy for you".

Mr. West also seemed to have found a similar spirit to Mr. Trump, with whom he said he shared "the energy of the dragon". He even wore a red cap "Make America Great Again" while he was pronouncing a 10-minute moniloquy in the Oval. On October 11, Office said, "Trump is currently undertaking the journey of his hero."
