Kanye Wants Matt Zimbel For VP Post In West's White House

By Matt Zimbel

Crazy day at the loft. Kanye West called to ask if I would be willing to be vetted for the position of Vice President for his presidential run in 2020.  I respectfully reminded him that we worked together in 2015 at the Pan Am Games Closing and that we agreed that he was kind of, um, “erratic”.  He noted that the current resident of the White House was kind of erratic and he thinks that’s what voters are looking for.


We agreed that if I pass the vetting, and we win the election, we will split the work, I will legislate and he will Tweet.

I asked him if Trump was behind his run and he was cagey with his response. Cuz, I’m hearing things like Trump thinks Kanye will peel off the Black vote from Biden.  Only the “least racist person on earth” would believe that Black American voters would be voting for Kanye because he is Black.  That’s like saying that all American crazy people will vote for Kanye because he is… wait a minute this argument isn’t working that well.

Anywho – pumped about being vetted.  Never been vetted for VP before – I hear it is like getting a colonoscopy from a 1st-year medical student.

CNE 2026 Bell SOUNDSTAGE Lineup: Charlotte Day Wilson, JoJo, Finger Eleven and More

As part of its partnership with NXNE and a renewed focus on live music, CNE will also welcome a special soon-to-be revealed global headliner presented by Billboard Canada on Aug. 28.

The Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) is embracing its musical roots with a high-profile lineup for 2026.

The beloved long-running fair, baptized The Ex by Torontonians, has unveiled the full list of artists who will be headlining the newly-named Bell SOUNDSTAGE at the Bandshell to celebrate the event's 147th edition. Canadian stars like Charlotte Day Wilson and Finger Eleven as well as international pop star JoJo have been added to this year's programming, which reflects a diverse mix of renowned names and rising stars across a multitude of genres including pop, hip-hop, Punjabi music and soca, among others. They join previously announced acts like Lights, Lupe Fiasco, Shaggy and more.

This year, the exhibition is partnering with Toronto music festival NXNE, to modernize its musical programming with chart-topping artists and newer acts, and revamping the Bandshell as the Bell SOUNDSTAGE. “Music is such a massive part of who we are,” Mark Holland, CEO of the CNE, told Billboard Canada in April during his Executive of the Week interview. "Connecting everybody to that is a democratic mission that we are really invested in."
