And just like that, Kanye West appears to be over politics

Just weeks after visiting the White House, Kanye West appears to be a little tired of politics. The rapper and designer on Tuesday said on Twitter that he plans on "distancing" himself from politics, alleging he's being "used to spread messages I don't believe in." I am distancing myself from politics and completely focusing on being creative!!!" he wrote. This week, West became associated with a campaign led by conservative activist Candace Owens that encourages black voters to leave the Democratic Party.

West first showed his support for Owens in April in a tweet, saying, "I love the way Candace Owens thinks."
