Kanye West ‘quitting’ politics

Kanye West has said that he is "distancing" himself from politics.

On Twitter the rapper claims he's being "used to spread messages I don't believe in", BBC News reports.

West has been a vocal supporter of US President Donald Trump but this decision appears to center around a campaign he was linked to known as Blexit.

Run by Conservative commentator Candace Owens it encourages black Americans to quit the Democratic party.

She claimed the musician had designed clothing for the campaign, something which the rapper has now denied.

The rapper tweeted: "My eyes are now wide open. I am distancing myself from politics and completely focusing on being creative."
