Coolio Plans to Run for Vice President in 2020
While 2020 seems like it's far away, many are still looking forward to trying to make a change to the political leadership in the United States for the next presidential election. According to KESQ, Coolio is reportedly running in a presidential campaign as Vice President alongside adult film star Cherie DeVille, who seeks to become the next U.S. President.
DeVille previously announced that she would be running for President back in August of this year, and she's chosen the veteran rapper as her VP. While speaking with the outlet, Coolio reveals why he's choosing to run in the election and get into politics despite his history in music.
“Somebody got to do something man, somebody got to try," he explains. We need normal people, we need normal regular everyday people in office."
He also reveals his thoughts on the government, which sound a bit more like conspiracy theories than actual political views.
“I believe there truly is a Deep State. And I think there is a Deep Deep State and nothing is what it seems," he continues.
Being that the current controversial leader of the country, Donald Trump, comes from reality television, it doesn't seem too far-fetched that Coolio and an adult film star could be put into the mix of the 2020 election.
We'll have to see what happens in a few years as DeVille and Coolio's campaign picks up speed. Watch the rapper discuss his plans for office below.
