Move over Kanye West! another rapper is running for President!
The artist behind the hit song “Because I Got High” is planning to compete to become the commander in chief: Afroman is officially running for president in the 2024 US election.
According to TMZ, Afroman, born Jason Foreman, filed the necessary paperwork with the Federal Elections Commission on April 18th. He made the final move after making his bid last December,
Announcing his plan to run, his campaign manager Jason Savage released a lengthy statement through his Instagram account. It read:
“My Fellow Americans There comes a time in the course of human events when change must be affected. That time is now. Americans are suffering, and the status quo is no longer acceptable.
Inflation is out of control. The economy is in shambles. The housing market is staggering. Politicians are corrupt. Bad apples are allowed to remain in law enforcement, amongst our noble and brave officers. Medicinal plants are criminalized, while pharmaceutical companies enrich themselves on chemicals with unknown side effects. The media sows the seeds of hatred 24 hours a day, 7 days per week, 365 days per year. They attempt to divide based on race, religion, gender, sexual preference, and every other category that they can think of.
We need a candidate that is truly elected by the people, and for the people. We need a man that can step up and lead with a firm hand. The people are starved for a Commander in Chief, that leads from a place of love and not hate. In these dark times, we need a leader that truly embodies the American dream.
My candidate IS the American Dream. Who better to lead in criminal justice reform, than a man who has traveled through the complete metamorphosis of the justice system? A man who entered juvenile hall as a tadpole, and hopped out of prison as a bullfrog, and is still the American Dream. The most rejected, disrespected, when he went for a job he was never selected, and is still The American Dream. The acceptable reject. The original Hungry Hustler. A representative of the blue state of California, and the red state of Mississippi. Our Cannabis Commander in Chief. Our Pot Head of State. Who better to hold the highest office in the land, than the highest and flyest playa in the game? He is for the black man, Mexican, even poor white, all human beings that have no rights. So put down your past, and pick up your future.
It is my immense honor and pleasure to formally announce Afroman as an independent candidate for President of the United States of America. 🇺🇸 – Jason Savage // Campaign Manage
Aside from this, fellow rapper Kanye West still plans to run for President although he’s been nearly canceled over the comments he made late last year about the Jewish and Black community.
Meanwhile, 1-term President Donald Trump is also expected to give it another shot even despite his recent arrest where he was charged with 34 counts of falsifying business records in relation to hush money payments to Stormy Daniels.
Good luck to everyone…
