Recent reports by The Sun hinted at Ye being sure about his 2024 presidential run. While the rumors about him filing his candidature made rounds a while ago, the recent news by a close source confirms his interest. They also cited him staying low and keeping his head down. While Ye focused on his presidential campaign, Dov Charney would help with the Yeezy business. On the other hand, his wife Bianca Censori was recently bestowed with his legal and financial affairs.

Even more so, he was proud of his &#8220;intelligent, unorthodox&#8221; wife who would make the perfect &#8220;perfect First Lady.&#8221; Although his 2020 run fell shot by millions of votes, the &#8216;Donda&#8217; singer was sure of getting tons of votes this time. If he could handle the emotional divorce with ex-wife <a href="https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/kim-kardashian/">Kim Kardashian</a> and rise back up from a year of controversies, the rapper believed he could do anything.
