Kanye for President? Twitter goes wild
Kanye West, no stranger to headline-grabbing antics at MTV's annual Video Music Awards (VMAs), has upped the ante. And Twitter loves it.
Using his acceptance speech on Sunday for a Video Vanguard Award, the rapper-cum-designer announced plans to run for the 2020 U.S. Presidential election. This was just minutes after he admitted to getting high before coming on stage.
Social media had a field day immediately following the revelation, with Twitter users poking fun at everything from West's famously rambling award acceptance speeches to the idea of reality TV star Kim Kardashian as First Lady.
We bring you a few of the highlights.
