Kanye West designed a line of shirts supporting a campaign encouraging African Americans to separate from the Democratic Party.

"Blexit" or "Black Exit" jerseys, inspired by the British slogan of leaving the European Union, debuted Saturday at the Black Youth Summit in Washington, DC, hosted by Candace Owens of Turning Point USA; West had previously rented Owens on social media.

"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," Owens told the crowd (via Page Six). "[West] took one of the most daring steps in America to open the conversation we needed. "

The range of shirts designed in the West – available in salmon, orchid and lagoon blue – includes the phrases "Blexit" and "We Free". The product pages also carry "Designed by Kanye West".

Owens also committed to bringing the "Blexit" movement to other US cities in 2019, including rapper Chicago.

Despite West's support for "Blexit," the rapper recently revealed he gave $ 73,000 to the campaign for Chicago mayoral candidate Amara Enyia, a Democrat. West also appeared briefly alongside Chance the Rapper at the Enyia rally this week.

Earlier this month, West and his MAGA hat visited Donald Trump at the White House, where the rapper delivered his now infamous speech.
