Kanye West โ who claims to beย running for president โ gave an emotional speech about abortion, during a rather bizarre and unpopular political campaign rally in South Carolina on Sunday.
The Chicago rapper wore a bulletproof vest and had the numbers โ2020โ shaved into his head as heย addressed the crowd, revealing that he and wife Kim Kardashian West considered terminating their first pregnancy โ but didnโt after he had a โvision from God,โ according toย a livestream of the event.
He then began to cry hysterically as he said:
โMy mom saved my life. My dad wanted to abort me.โ
โI almost killed my daughter,โ West, 43, continued in tears, referring to the coupleโs eldest, North West.
โNo more Plan B, Plan A,โ he added.
Speaking to a crowd of a couple hundred ticket-holders at the Exquis Event Center in North Charleston, West later backtracked, saying that he believes abortion should be legal, but that financial incentives would discourage the practice.
This was Westโs first campaign event since he announced his presidential bid in a July 4th tweet. The billionaire sneaker mogul said he wasย starting his own party for 2020, โthe Birthday Party.โ
