Kanye West is already switching up his campaign — saying he wants Jay-Z to get on the ticket with him as his VEEP … despite having already named a running mate.
Ye made the revelation Sunday before his attention-grabbing rally in South Carolina, telling a local blogger how he realized Jay should be his VP. There are, of course, a couple of big hurdles to this pairing becoming reality … and candidate West addressed them.
First off, Michelle Tidball … the Wyoming preacher who is currently his running mate. Kanye says she told him she’d be down to take another position in his cabinet if he found a different running mate.
Secondly — and Ye says it himself in the interview — he hasn’t spoken to Jay in a long while now but in his eyes … that’s a good thing because it proves they’re really “brothers” and bonded for life. Unclear if Jay-Z has responded to the request, but Kanye says he’s put it out there.
Now, as for how KW landed on Hov as someone to tap in the first place … he says he was getting signs. Listen carefully … sounds like it came down to a coincidence about initials.
Whether Jay-Z would seriously accept or not remains to be seen, but after Sunday’s off-the-wall rally — which resulted in tears shed and personal business spilled, not to mention other controversial remarks — we wouldn’t bank on it.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
