"Kanye is sick of these do-nothing politicians and honestly believes he could make a huge difference if he was running that Education Department or Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)," adds the insider.

"And when I first thought of it, I just started laughing to myself, all this joy came over my body, through my soul. I felt that energy, I felt that spirit," he said. "Two days later, I accepted the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award at the MTV Awards. Instead of performing my array of hit songs, I gave just my perspective on awards shows. I knew at the end, I was going to tell people I'm running for president in 2020. It even took heart to say it in that context and people's minds were blown."
