Kanye West has taken to his official Twitter account to renounce his recent political endorsements, and refocus on his creativity.
In a series of tweets, particularly directed at right-wing group BLEXIT (which saw founder Candace Ownes pin Kanye’s name as designer on a series of merchandise), West said “My eyes are now wide open and now realize I’ve been used to spread messages I don’t believe in,”.
Disavowing BLEXIT, he added “I never wanted any association with Blexit. I have nothing to do with it”. He also voiced his opinion on “common-sense gun laws that will make our world safer”.

I support those who risk their lives to serve and protect us and I support holding people who misuse their power accountable.
I believe in love and compassion for people seeking asylum and parents who are fighting to protect their children from violence and war.

I would like to thank my family, loved ones, and community for supporting my ACTUAL beliefs and my vision for a better world.

I introduced Candace to the person who made the logo and they didn’t want their name on it so she used mine. I never wanted any association with Blexit. I have nothing to do with it.

My eyes are now wide open and now realize I’ve been used to spread messages I don’t believe in. I am distancing myself from politics and completely focusing on being creative !!!
