I'm Distancing Myself From Politics: 'I’ve Been Used To Spread Messages I Don’t Believe in’- Kanye West

The past several months have been quite the wild ride in the land of Kanye West news. His comments about slavery being a choice, calls to abolish the 13th Amendment and outspoken admiration for President Trump, much to the chagrin of many of his fans, all came to a head with his bizarre, televised Oval Office meeting with the president earlier this month.

Just this weekend, he had been credited with designing the logo for shirts connected to “Blexit,” a call for African Americans to leave the Democratic Party that has been championed by Candace Owens, the spokeswoman for the pro-Trump organization Turning Point USA.

Now, West is apparently cutting off all political ties. In tweets posted Tuesday, he seemingly attempted to retreat from many of the claims, statements, social media snippets and interviews that have characterized his public persona in recent months.
