Kanye West Decides To Distances Himself From Politics

News • 31st October 2018 • By HYPE Staff

Last night Kanye West announced that he’ll be distancing himself from politics now and fans are saying that he played himself. YE took to Twitter to mention how his eyes are now wide open and that he now realizes he’s been used to spread messages he doesn’t believe in. This is quite a statement from him but is a sign of relief for some. YE is busy completing his new Yandhi album that is dropping in the coming weeks and many think this could be a marketing tool. Although some people are still mad at him others seem to be embracing his decision.

My eyes are now wide open and now realize I’ve been used to spread messages I don’t believe in. I am distancing myself from politics and completely focusing on being creative !!!
