Kanye West launches Blexit clothing as Donald Trump-loving rapper calls for black voters to snub the Democratic Party
KANYE West has launched his Blexit clothing line urging black voters to ditch the Democratic Party.
The rapper’s latest fashion venture includes blue, lilac and orange long-sleeve and short-sleeve T-shirts as well as denim hats with the words Blexit and We Free printed across them.
The clothes and accessories range in price from £19 to £21 ($25 to $28).
This new campaign was unveiled at the Young Black Leadership Summit in Washington DC on Saturday.
The event was organised by outspoken Candace Owens, who is from the conservative advocacy group Turning Point USA.
Owens told the crowd: “Blexit is a renaissance and I am blessed to say that this logo, these colours, were created by my dear friend and fellow superhero Kanye West.
“[West] has taken one of the boldest steps in American to open a conversation we needed to have.”
She also told the crowd that she vows to take the Blexit movement to cities across the country.
Kanye’s Blexit campaign has been inspired by Brexit in the UK.
It is one of many of the rapper’s provocative opinions.
Earlier this month Kanye met with US President Donald Trump in the Oval office and delivered a ten-minute monologue on a wide range of subjects including “dumping Air Force One”.
The rapper also made several mentions of race issues.

Kanye has repeatedly said at rallies he expected African Americans to support the Republican Party in the US midterm elections next week.
But he recently revealed he donated £56,934 ($73,000) to the Democratic candidate for mayor for his native town of Chicago Amara Enyia.
