Kanye West Reveals What Oprah Said To Him About Running For POTUS

Kanye West’s episode on the Joe Rogan podcast has officially gone live and as expected, there’s a whole lot of information to unpack. Of course, his run for president was among the many subjects they touched on. Ye explained that he felt it was his “calling” to be the “leader of the free world” before suggesting that he’d even consider running for Governor of California.

Kanye initially announced that he’d be running for president during the 2015 VMAs which he explained he had in mind for two days before the award show. The reception was mixed with some people supporting the move while others didn’t think he was quite serious.

Before initially announcing that he’d be running for president at the 2015 VMAs, the rapper revealed that he actually had a conversation with Oprah. If you recall, there was an outpour of support for Oprah Winfrey for president, especially after Trump was elected. Though he already had in mind that he’d announce his foray into politics at the end of the speech, Kanye found a lot of people not taking him seriously.

“I remember running into Oprah two days after that and she was like, ‘You don’t want to be president,’” Kanye recounted. He explained that he’s someone who’s always accomplished what he set his mind on, using his billionaire status as an example.

Though the rapper does talk about his presidential ambitions in the podcast, he also explained his recent efforts to buy back his masters. The rapper explained that his next goal is to buy Universal, explaining that they’re only $33B company and he’s one of the best product producers of our time.

François Marius and Bérénice creates a tender acoustic pop confession with “Billie Jean”

François Marius’ latest release, “Billie Jean (Acoustic Version),” cuts to the quick and lets raw emotion take over. What you get, ultimately, is a personal pop experience that feels closer to a secret than to either a spoken-word show or a performance. The initial soft strum of an acoustic guitar creates a mood that is soft, sweet, and quietly interesting. It’s a full-throated, backbones-out piece, and every note is screaming its potential. It’s simple but riveting, and it proves that sometimes less is more.

François Marius and Bérénice’s voices sound right together, their voicings intermingle so naturally that they seem accidental or spontaneous, harmonies that emerge from nowhere. The way they speak to one another is very, I mean, they really love each other. That even makes the track seem like a conversation about feelings.

The two artists are clearly close. Romance and Eros are not just ideas, and they inhabit every note that lingers and every minuscule shift in tonality. The harmonies soar effortlessly over the acoustic foundation, a blend of sweetness and strength. It’s a sign of strength and also of a willingness to be hurt.

“Billie Jean (Acoustic Version)” is stripped of any fancy production or theatrical effects, it wins you over with its frankness and forthrightness. Sandy François Marius’s impersonation is fresh and real, endowed with depth and softness thanks to Bérénice’s presence, which definitely makes everything more perfect. This acoustic performance serves as a stark reminder of the elements that do connect people: the singer, his guitar, and a story from the heart.
