Rihanna on Kanye West for president: 'Who wouldn't vote for Kanye?'

During Sunday's MTV VMA's, Kanye West suggested he would be throwing his hat into the ring for the 2020 presidential elections.

During Sunday’s MTV VMA’s, Kanye West suggested he would be throwing his hat into the ring for the 2020 presidential elections. If he does go forward with his presidential candidacy, he’s already got an important backer in Rihanna.

During an interview with Entertainment Tonight in which Rihanna was discussing her new scent, RiRi, the superstar was asked whether she would support a Kanye presidential run, and she said she would, of course.

“I mean people are voting for [Donald] Trump,” Rihanna told ET. “Who wouldn’t vote for Kanye?!”

She went on to say that he was clearly good at stirring up a crowd and giving good speeches, if Sunday’s VMA acceptance speech was anything to go by.

“I got to see it,” Rihanna said, “and I’m really, really elated with his speech. His speech was incredible.”

Well, that’s one vote for Kanye, anyway.
