Rihanna claims that she would vote for Kanye West in presidential battle

Rihanna has given Kanye West's apparent plans to run for US president her seal of approval.

The rapper claimed during a speech at the MTV VMAs on Sunday (August 30) that he will try to become president in 2020.

While many are unsure if the outspoken musician is being truthful, Rihanna told Entertainment Tonight that West has her vote.

She said: "I mean people are voting for [Donald] Trump. Who wouldn't vote for Kanye?

"I got to see his speech and I'm really, really elated with it. His speech was incredible."

West made the speech whilst collecting the coveted Video Vanguard award.
