Kanye West shocked the crowd at this MTV Music Video awards when he declared he is going to run for President in 2020.

At the time, everyone assumed it is the usual Kanye trolling of everyone else. However, in a lengthy interview with Vanity Fair, Kanye reiterated the desire.

“Oh definitely” he replied when asked if he was still intent on running in 2020.

“I didn’t approach that because I thought it would be fun. It wasn’t like, ‘Oh, let’s go rent some jet skis in Hawaii’. No, the exact opposite. I sit in clubs and I’m like, ‘Wow, I’ve got five years before I go and run for office’ and I’ve got a lot of research to do, I’ve got a lot of growing up to do.”

He was also asked if he’ll have to give up the creative process if he runs for office.

“This is my theory: I think the world can be helped through design, so it’s very important that I stay around creative, forward thinkers. It’s very important that I continue to design, to be in practice of trying to make the best decisions possible.

“I hate politics. I’m not a politician at all. I care about the truth and I just care about human beings. I just want everyone to win, that’s all I can say, and I think we can”
