Kanye West tells of his dramatic coronavirus experience and labels vaccinations the ‘mark of the beast’

Speaking to Forbes, he said: "Chills, shaking in the bed, taking hot showers, looking at videos telling me what I’m supposed to do to get over it.

"I remember someone had told me Drake had the coronavirus and my response was Drake can’t be sicker than me!

"God just gave me the clarity and said it’s time. You know I was out there, ended up in the hospital, people were calling me crazy. I’m not crazy.

"Between all of the influences and the positions that we can be put in as musicians… It can drive you crazy, through all of that I was looking crazy because it wasn’t the time. Now it’s time. And we’re not going crazy, we’re going Yeezy, it’s a whole ‘notha level now. N-O-T-H-A."

West also spoke about his reservations over the use of a COVID-19 vaccination.

"It’s so many of our children that are being vaccinated and paralyzed," he added. "So when they say the way we’re going to fix Covid is with a vaccine, I’m extremely cautious. That’s the mark of the beast.

"They want to put chips inside of us, they want to do all kinds of things, to make it where we can’t cross the gates of heaven."

West announced at the end of last week that he is running for president in November’s election.

He said: "We must now realize the promise of America by trusting God, unifying our vision and building our future.

"I am running for president of the United States Flag of United States! #2020VISION."
