By claiming that the God gave him the idea when he was in the shower, West recalled, "It was something that God put on my heart back in 2015, a few days before the MTV awards, it just — it hit me in the shower. And when I first thought about it, I just started laughing to myself, and all this joy came over my body, just through my soul, and I felt that energy. I felt that spirit."
Kanye continued: "I believe my calling is to be the leader of the free world. If it's in God's plan that part of my path is to be the governor, that's fine. But my calling is to be the leader of the free world.".
