Campaigner Steve Kramer tells New York Magazine that the presidential campaign has been canceled. Kanye West has not personally commented on the information yet.
On July 4, on US National Day, the 43-year-old rapper announced that he would run in the presidential election, thus challenging incumbent President Donald Trump and Democratic candidate Joe Biden.
"We must now fulfill the promise of the United States through trust in God, uniting our vision and building our future. I am running for president of the United States, "he wrote on Twitter at the time.
West's presidential campaign divided Hollywood. He was openly supported by, among others, Tesla entrepreneur Elon Musk but was criticized by many, including rap colleagues 50 Cent and Will.i.am.
