  • Kanye West has confirmed that he did have a meeting with Ivanka Trump and husband Jared Kushner.
  • The meeting has further fuelled speculation that the rapper is working with the Trump administration to get Donald Trump reelected.
  • When probed about the rumours to ruin Joe Biden's shot at the presidency, Kanye responded: "I'm not denying it."


Kanye West has confirmed that he did, in fact, meet with Ivanka Trump and husband Jared Kushner, who, of course, is the senior advisor to the president.

The rapper, who announced his bid to run for president in July, took to social media once again to talk about the meeting, which was first revealed in a New York Times report.

"I'm willing to do a live interview with the New York Time about my meeting with Jared where we discussed Dr Claude Anderson's book Powernomics [sic]," he tweeted, referring to the work on black empowerment.

The news comes as The Washington Post reports "Kanye 2020" is seemingly being bolstered by Republican operatives who are working hard to get the fashion mogul on the ballot in several states after his last-minute bid to run for president.

It has fuelled speculation that Kanye is working work the Trump administration to ruin Joe Biden's shot at becoming president.

When asked if he's trying to do just that in an interview with Forbes last week, Kanye said: "I'm not denying it; I just told you."
