Kanye West said Saturday he is running for president in the 2020 US election, an apparent challenge to go head-to-head with President Donald Trump."
However, he's recently diverged from the President over the Black Lives Matter movement and protests against police brutality and racial injustice.
West's announcement isn't the first time he's teased the idea of running for US president.
In June, West donated $2 million to support the families of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery and Breonna Taylor, three Black people who were killed in incidents with police and citizens.
So far, it doesn't appear West has any intention of actually running for president.
