will.i.am says Kanye West's 2020 presidential bid is "a dangerous thing to be playing with"
will.i.am has criticised Kanye West's 2020 US presidential bid, calling it "a dangerous thing to be playing with".
Kanye West first announced his plan to run for US president this year last week, and then spoke in-depth about his plans in an interview with Forbes.
In a new interview with The Mirror, will.i.am has spoken about Kanye West's presidential bid, and how he doesn't need to run for president to do good things for communities.
"Whatever! It’s a dangerous thing to be playing with," will.i.am said in response to Kanye's choice to run for president of the USA this year. "If you’re not serious, you don’t play with that, especially now."
The Black Eyed Peas member adds, "Like what the fuck, seriously, I don’t even know what like community service you do."
He also explains that there's no need to be involved in politics to make positive changes in communities, "There’s so many ways to help our communities other than politics and you don’t have to run for office to change people’s lives for the better. For the past 11 years I went back to the ghetto where I’m from and started a school. I started with 65 kids – now I have 720 kids and growing."
"Our kids have gone off to colleges they probably never thought, or anyone thought, they’d go to," will.i.am continues. "Like Dartmouth, Brown, Stanford, UCLA – studying things you probably never thought they would study, like bioscience, engineering, autonomy, robotics and computer science."
The Voice Kids judge ends his interview by saying, "So you don’t have to be a politician to protect the youth ... Politics, nah. I’d rather do what I do, and do as much as I can."
