Kanye West seemed to be out of the presidential polls as per his election strategist Steve Kramer, who recently revealed that the rapper is out presidential bid in 2020, as the singer was only got 2 percent of the vote share when compared to his opponents Donald Trump and Joe Biden. Kanye neither supported his claim nor denied it. However, the authenticity of the reports still remains doubtful.

His announcement for the presidential bid was also supported by his friend, Space X founder Elon Musk. Kanye is the best-selling music artist across the globe with 140 million records sold worldwide. He has been the recipient of 21 Grammy Awards for his incredible performance, making him one of the most awarded artists of all time. This also includes the Billboard Artist Achievement Award.
