Kanye West announces he's running for President in 2020 after admitting he'd smoked a joint before epic acceptance speech at MTV VMAs

Kanye West announced he was running for president in 2020 during the MTV VMAs on Sunday. 

The bold declaration came at the end of an epic acceptance speech for a lifetime achievement award. 

Taylor Swift honored the star with a gushing introduction that was a nod to their first encounter. 

The 38-year-old famously rushed the stage when Taylor Swift accepted an award back in 2009, claiming that his friend Beyonce was a more worthy recipient.
