Kanye West combines her love of fashion and politics.

The controversial rapper, 41, has designed a line of shirts and hats for the Campaign "Blexit", which pushes the black voters to leave the democratic party. "Blexit" is the abbreviation for "Black Exit", imitating the slogan of Britain's departure from the European Union.

The merchandise, which proudly bears the slogan "Design by Kanye West," debuted at the Turning Point Black Youth Summit in Washington on Saturday.

"Blexit is a rebirth and I'm lucky to say that this logo, these colors, were created by my dear friend and colleague superhero Kanye West," the group's director of communication Candace Owens announced to the crowd.

"Blexit" movement encourages black community and "freethinkers of the land" to give up "an emotionally abusive relationship" with the Democratic Party, in pursuit of "freedom over tyranny".

Where is already rented Owens, a supporter of President Donald Trump, and she returned the same Saturday.

"(West) has taken one of the most daring steps in the US to open a conversation we should have and I can not tell you how much he wants to be here," she said. . West was not at the top, but Owens said the rap mogul was "here in spirit".

The line of shirts comes in turquoise, coral and purple, and in a variety of styles, and costs between 25 and 28 dollars. The hats, which come only in light blue denim, are adorned with two different slogans: "Blexit" or "We Free". They are $ 25.

Despite West's apparent support for "Blexit," the rapper briefly described Amara Enyia, hopeful to the mayor of Chicago, with Chance the Rapper on the south side of the city last week.

West also donated $ 73,540 to the Enyia Town Hall campaign. The Democrat stands to replace Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel.

The rapper 's latest political decisions come less than a month after his bizarre visit to President Trump at the White House.
