US rapper Kanye West has said he is running for president, potentially pitting him against a man he says he admires, Donald Trump.

"We must now realize the promise of America by trusting God, unifying our vision and building our future," he tweeted. "I am running for president of the United States!"

His wife Kim Kardashian West and entrepreneur Elon Musk endorsed him.

But it's unclear whether West is really running.

He does not appear to have registered his name with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) for November's election. The closest name the FEC database shows is a candidate called "Kanye Deez Nutz West", who filed their papers with the Green Party in 2015 under the address "1977 Golddigger Avenue, Suite Yeezus" and appears to have raised no money.

This is bonkers! Hopefully a joke.

Because electing someone as President in their first-ever job in politics turned out well last time. ?

Hopefully a joke.

In my opinion, this is nothing more than trying to take some of the black support from Biden as his good mate Trump struggles to win their votes.

Kanye 2020 all the way! What an absolutely great candidate. Kim as the First Lady as well. What an immense team. This has to happen. ??

Shame Elon Musk is South African, he'd have been the perfect running mate and VP!

Never realised how mental he is. Quite liked some of his music few years ago but paid no attention to him the minute he got involved with those Kardashians.

Sounds like he needs help tbh

His whole hour conference thing at the beginning of the week was a disorganised shambles he's bat shit crazy.

Some of his Twitter rants have been extraordinary in the last few days. He seems a bit unstable, perfect for a US president.

Going by the reports in the States, he's someone with bipolar disorder who appears to be going through a manic phase, and it's pretty sad that's all being played out in public.

Surrounded by people, but lacking in friends to help him out
