Kanye West Says He’s Removing His Tattoos & Grills If He Becomes President
In November 2022, Kanye West officially announced that he will be running for president in the 2024 election. Recently, he shared that if he is elected, the rapper-turned-businessman plans to remove his tattoos and grill.
Kanye West has made it clear that he will run for president after previously running in 2020. In a new video, Ye says he plans to remove his tattoos and grill if he wins the election.
During the clip, Kanye, wearing an American flag jacket, was asked about his presidential plans. He gave a brief answer:

Kanye has not mentioned any major plans but joked about possibly making former president Donald Trump his vice president.
Kanye West Announces He’s Running For President In 2024
Kanye West made headlines earlier after making an announcement about something he has attempted before. In a video, Kanye announced that he will be running for president in the 2024 elections.
In a YouTube video, Ye is seen walking into a warehouse, followed by someone recording him. In the beginning, he walks with a man named Milo Yiannopoulos, who he refers to as his campaign manager.
When the cameraman asked if he was running, he laughingly responded, “Yes. It’s that simple.”
While in the warehouse, Kanye showed off merchandise that read “YE24” and mentioned that some clothes were from Adidas, Balenciaga, and Gap.
Recently, Kanye was dropped from those companies after he posted comments labeled as anti-semitic on social media and allegedly lost his billionaire status.
When discussing his plans, he highlighted that the average person needs more education, healthcare, and engineering opportunities. The “Donda” rapper also says his message is to look forward to the future.
“We’re getting past the past. We’re focusing on the future,” Kanye said.
Even though Kanye has run for president in the past and openly expressed his love for former President Donald Trump, he has not confirmed his chosen political party.
