Kanye West’s hopes of becoming the next US president have been dashed – but the rapper has assured fans he’ll be back in 2024.
West launched his campaign back in July, but had only made it on to the presidential ballot in a handful of states due to a combination of missed deadlines and lack of signatures.

The 21-time Grammy winner is reported to have received around 57,000 votes across the 12 states in which he was in the running. More than 130 million votes have been counted so far.
West shared a photo of himself silhouetted against the US electoral map on social media, with the message: “Welp Kanye 2024.”
