Kanye designs line of ‘Blexit’ T-shirts
Kanye West now has something to wear with his red MAGA hat: The rapper and prominent supporter of President Donald Trump has designed a line of T-shirts that read “Blexit,” a call for African-Americans to leave the Democratic Party.
The shirts were revealed Saturday at Turning Point USA’s Young Black Leadership Summit, a meeting of young, black conservatives in Washington. “Blexit is a renaissance and I am blessed to say that this logo, these colors, were created by my dear friend and fellow superhero Kanye West,” said Candace Owens, the group’s spokeswoman.
The superhero mention was a reference to something West had said during an appearance in the Oval Office with Trump earlier this month, when the rapper said wearing his MAGA hat made him “feel like Superman.”
The shirts, including another design that reads “We Free,” come in teal, orange and lilac. According to the Blexit website, “BLEXIT is a frequency for those who have released themselves from the political orthodoxy. It is a rebellion led by Americans wishing to disrupt the simulation of fear.”
