John Legend says Kanye West is "serious" to run for the presidency

According to his friend John Legend, Kayne West would be "serious" to run for president.

On Friday, Dan Wootton, host of his podcast of the same name, met Legend and the singer revealed that the presidential ambition of his good friend was to be taken seriously.

"He has said it many times," said the legend to Wootton on the podcast. "I think he's serious."

The caption continued: "He never told me anything about which holiday I suppose he would have run as an independent, but he never told me anything on the party that he would run away.But he repeatedly said President. "

The Grammy Award-winning artist went on to say that West's future interest in politics could also be the reason he likes to connect with current President Donald Trump.

"I think it's partly because he likes Trump, because I think he sees certain aspects of himself in Trump and Trump wins, he feels like he can do it too," he said. explained Legend.

Last April, West sparked a lot of controversy in social media when he spoke openly about his admiration and support for Trump on Twitter. Later, the rapper found himself struggling with a series of eddies after sharing a photo of him wearing a MAGA hat. And although many celebrities attacked West on Twitter, Legend decided to personally contact his friend via SMS.

The legend sent the private text to West asking him to "reconsider his alignment" with Trump and was shocked when the rapper and fashion designer shared his text on Twitter with his 28 million followers.

West shared the text on Twitter without comment, and Legend admitted to having been "stunned" by his actions, but decided that he was happy that people knew that he had directly addressed the subject.

"So many people feared that Kanye would say things that he said and that there was no one to advise him differently," said the legend. "Part of me was happy that people saw that I told him the truth and told him how I felt and was proud of everything I told him." I was shocked that He posted it, but I was proud of everything I said and I am one hundred percent.

Following their disagreement, both showed that despite their differences, their friendship was still intact. Two days after West shared his friend's text message on Twitter, he went back to social media to share a photo of both.

West tweeted, "We had love, agree to disagree."

And although Legend and his wife, Chrissy Teigen, are known to denounce the Trump administration, West and his wife, Kim Kardashian, seem to accept it.

Kardashian also made headlines for his trips to the White House to work with the president to pardon those serving long prison sentences for drug offenses.

On June 6, Kardashian's plea for Alice Marie Johnson, a great-grandmother who was serving a life sentence for a non-violent death sentence, resulted in Trump's commutation of Johnson's sentence and his release.

The reality star returned to the White House on Wednesday and told fans that after Johnson's release, she had been inspired to help out more.

"It started with Mrs. Alice, but looking at her and seeing the faces and learning the stories of the men and women I met in the jails, I knew I could not stay at one." "It's time for real systemic change."
