MyChannel, Inc., which specializes in video and e-commerce technology, says they helped West get his Sunday Service events off the ground.

Reports TMZ: Kanye, the presidential candidate, is required by FEC rules to file a financial report if he raises or spends $100k on his campaign. The filing deadline was August 20, but according to an FEC official … the agency hasn’t received it. So this means one of 2 things, and neither is good for Kanye — either he missed the filing deadline or he didn’t raise $100k … and how do you run for Prez if you can’...

Kanye West Is Polling at Just 2% With Black Voters
Kanye West’s presidential campaign hasn’t made any inroads since a poll last month showed him polling at 2%. According to a new POLITICO/Morning Consult poll, the rapper/mogul/presidential candidate is still only at 2% overall and only has 2% of the Black vote well.

It’s more of yet another Kanye publicity stunt,” Ron Christie, a Black Republican strategist and former aide to D...
