West had previously expressed admiration for Donald Trump.
Kanye West’s wife Kim Kardashian and entrepreneur Elon Musk supported West’s nomination.
But it is not known whether West will really put his candidacy.
It is stated that there is no registration in the Federal Election Commission for the elections to be held in November.
West said he would compete as a presidential candidate in 2020 at the MTV Video Music Awards ceremony in 2015.
The 43-year-old rapper stated that he delayed this date to 2024 last November.
In order to add his name to voter’s compasses, West needs to get support from a certain number of names and register in the states at certain dates.
It is stated in some major states that this date has passed, but there is still time for many.
