US presidential candidate and American rapper Kanye West gave some insight into his September visit to Haiti, where he was seen in the company of Haitian President Jovenel Moise.
West visited Haiti on September 25, where he was reportedly conducting business with Shervin Kordary Pishevar, Iranian-American entrepreneur and investor.
West appeared on the Joe Rogan Experience show on youtube, and he revealed in the show that the Haitian President was giving him and Pishevar a Haitian island for developing.
He said that they went to Haiti and the President gives them an island to develop; to make the island a city of the future.
He added that they would have the farmers and the people who live there take ownership of the land which they have right now so when it raises in value, they all develop.
West added that President Moise told him that the way he has done business with President Trump had been straight forward. Before touting himself as the best President which America would have for its foreign policy.
West said that he had travelled more than any resident already.
While addressing concerns regarding his visit to Haiti in September, West said in a tweet that they are here to complete the revolution, for building the future.
Footage of the rapper was shared all over Haitian social media.
In some videos, West was seen sitting in the diplomatic lounge of the international airport of Cap-Haitien; dancing on voodoo music at Cormier Plage, and sailing on the waves heading to Ile de la Tortue, along with President Moïse.
The visit to Haiti came one week after his controversial visit to Jamaica.
While in Jamaica, West visited veteran dancehall/reggae Buju Banton at his Gargamel studio in Kingston, but he was criticized heavily for not wearing a mask in public.
At a subsequent Jamaica House press conference, Prime Minister Andrew Holness was quizzed whether West had breached the mandatory 14-day quarantine on his arrival to the island by private jet.
