Kanye West was conferred with MTV’s lifetime honour, the Video Vanguard Award, at the MTV Video Music Awards, yesterday, August 30; but he ended his acceptance speech in a rather unusual way as he declared plans to run for public office.

The award was presented to him by erstwhile rival, Taylor Swift. The pop singer also credited West with having a strong influence on her career, adding that he’s had a tremendous music career himself.

The rapper’s speech is filled with a lot of surprises, the most notable being his desire to stick with and defend the art to any lengths.
“I will die for the art, and for what I believe in, and the art ain’t always gonna be polite,” he said.
The rapper also admitted to having smoked a bit of substance before getting on stage, even as he paused and motioned inarticulately a few times in the course of his speech.
But nothing came more shocking than his daring announcement on the night when, he closed his eyes for split seconds as, he went:
“And yes, as you probably could have guessed by this moment, I have decided in 2020 to run for president.”
The speech ended, obviously, in a few minutes of hysteria from the audience as West descended from the podium having concluded his announcement.
