Andy Warhol once said, “In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes.”
He never met Kanye West.
From the time he grabbed the mic away from Taylor Swift at the 2009 VMA Awards, he showed the world he only cares about one person: Kanye West. He’s been, if you could call it, “world-famous” for more than 15 minutes. A sad commentary on the insatiable need-to-know cultural media junkies.
Now he’s running for president and recently met with Jared Kushner and Ivanka in Telluride, CO. Contents of the meeting are at this writing unknown. But West admitted recently in an interview with Forbes Magazine that he is acting as a spoiler to damage the Biden campaign with his effort to get on several ballots in states like Colorado. A recent poll done for Politico has West polling at 2% among black voters, the demographic that he, and the Republicans, are hoping to pull votes away from Biden.
The big question here is not why he is running but why is Forbes even interviewing this man whose wife Kim described him as bipolar. Kardashian is asking for compassion and empathy as her husband, rap mogul Kanye West, and their family deal with his recent behavioral outbursts that have called his mental health into question. In the minds of some people, his condition isn’t any worse than the sociopath and pathological liar who currently occupies the White House.
While West is not making headlines, the mere fact that any headline about him is adding more time to his 15 minutes.
This needs to stop.
The media from TMZ on up to the most respected news providers need to completely IGNORE this man. Bipolar disorder aside, he is irrelevant.
