Controversial American rapper, Kanye West took on Twitter on 4th of July (independence day) to announce his presidential bid in the coming election. The father of four had initially dished on his intension to run, in August 2015 and turns out he really meant it.
Kanye who had his first campaign rally over the weekend in South Carolina, got pretty emotional and even broke into tears at some point while delivering his, now viral speech.
The rapper married Kim Kardashian West back in May, 2014 and they have since welcomed four children together. During his speech, Kanye revealed how he and Kim had thoughts of aborting their first child daughter, North. He went ahead stating that he thought his wife, Kim would divorce him.
I almost killed my daughter. I almost killed my daughter!

He also stated that his father wanted to abort him and that his mother saved his life. Other remarks he made at the campaigning bid were, “Harriet Tubman never actually freed the slaves, she just had the slaves go work for other white people.” Among other strong comments. His speech went viral and Twitter went a blaze with mixed reactions and many questioning about the rapper’s mental health.
Harriet Tubman never actually freed the slaves, she just had the slaves go work for other white people.

Kim is reported to have been “upset” by Kanye’s words from the infamous campaign. There have been reports that his family is worried about him (Kanye) because he has been unstable and does not listen to anyone. They have asked him to get help, severally.
The rapper was reported the newest billionaire by Forbes a couple of months ago with a networth of $1.3 billion. I guess being ‘on top of the world’ can sometimes take a toll on one’s mental health. We don’t know what to make of his recent public rant but, we wish Kimye peace and stability.
