Maybe he accidentally tweeted his WiFi password. Or maybe he just announced he's running for the White House in six years. On Saturday afternoon, Kanye West enigmatically tweeted “2024,” which just happens to be a presidential election year. West, who is a Trump supporter, floated the idea of a campaign during a radio interview last week. And his pal John Legend said this week that he doesn't think it’s a publicity stunt. “I think he’s serious,” Legend told a podcast. “He sees some aspects of himself in Trump and sees that Trump winning makes it feel like he could do it too,” Legend said. So maybe Kanye is running for president! But hopefully he just tweeted his WiFi password.
