Kanye West: 'I never wanted any association with Blexit ... I’ve been used'

Rapper Kanye West said Tuesday he is not the designer of the "Blexit" shirts encouraging black people to leave the Democratic Party, rejecting reports that he was the man behind the idea.

In a pair of tweets, West said Turning Point USA communications director Candace Owens was wrong to mention his name when she announced the new product line.

"I introduced Candace to the person who made the logo and they didn’t want their name on it so she used mine. I never wanted any association with Blexit. I have nothing to do with it," West said.

"My eyes are now wide open and now realize I’ve been used to spread messages I don’t believe in. I am distancing myself from politics and completely focusing on being creative !!!" he added.

4:15 PM PT -- Kanye contacted us to make it clear he did not mention Donald Trump in his tweets, and he's getting out of politics altogether.

As for being "used" ... he says he was specifically referencing Blexit, and that's it.

Kanye also went on to say that while he does enjoy fish sticks , he is definitely not a gay fish. And Kim is not a Hobbit.

Wifey probably threatened to cut him off if he didn't say he was done with politics and was "used".

"I support creating jobs and opportunities for people who need them the most, I support prison reform, I support common-sense gun laws that will make our world safer," he tweeted. "I support those who risk their lives to serve and protect us and I support holding people who misuse their power accountable. I believe in love and compassion for people seeking asylum and parents who are fighting to protect their children from violence and war."


Yes, please....all those who thought this flake was fantastic during his Oval Office visit, you’ll be thrilled when he starts calling for amnesty when the caravan arrives.

I think many of us predicted that he'd change his tune - again - or even recant his conversion to conservativism, to some degree. If only we would stop paying so much attention to what celebrities say, whether left or right.

I'm not surprised he's done with politics. It can't be fun to be a famous black Republican.

Maybe he didn’t specifically mention him in the tweets, but many of the things he said are hardly conservative ideas.


"I support creating jobs and opportunities for people who need them the most, I support prison reform, I support common-sense gun laws that will make our world safer," he tweeted. "I support those who risk their lives to serve and protect us and I support holding people who misuse their power accountable.  I believe in love and compassion for people seeking asylum and parents who are fighting to protect their children from violence and war."


Who should be the one who decides who needs a job the most, other than the hiring party?  Prison reform and the commutation of sentences by Obama was a bad idea under his watch.  It was code for ‘social justice’ and still is.  Any time someone vaguely says ‘common sense gun laws,’ watch out.  Infringement looms.  Love and compassion for asylum seekers means amnesty for the caravan members.

It almost seems like he's just some dumb ass celebrity that doesn't know enough about politics to be worth examination.

I figured he became a Trump fan because he wanted something.  He and his wife already had a prisoner released -- I believe through their influence with Trump or maybe Ivanka.  West and his wife may have wanted something else and were turned down.  Now he's mad.

This does not even come close to how badly black Americans have been used by Democrats for the last 54 years.
