His first campaign meeting was confused and interrupted by a fit of tears. Rapper Kanye West, who recently announced he was entering the presidential race in November, began to cry as he delivered an anti-abortion speech at a meeting supposed to mark the launch of his bid, Sunday, in Charleston, South Carolina.
Wearing a bulletproof jacket that read "security", Kanye West revealed that he wanted Kim Kardashian, his wife then pregnant with their daughter North, to abort, then spoke about his father. “My father wanted my mother to have an abortion. My mom saved my life. There would have been no Kanye West because my father was too busy, "said the rapper, starting to cry. He then spoke unintelligibly for a minute, then shouted, "I almost killed my daughter! I almost killed my daughter! "
In recent years, Kanye West has been talked about more for his escapades than for his music. In 2016, he was interned for several weeks in a psychiatric hospital, where he was diagnosed with bipolar. He was also controversial in 2018 for his comments on slavery. “We hear about slavery that lasted 400 years. For 400 years? It looks like a choice, ”he said in an interview with TMZ.
