Ice Cube wants to see Kanye West take power.

The rap star told the Press Association he’s not into politics but if it comes down to it, it’s Kanye all the way.

Kanye has spoken of his desire to run for the US presidency, telling the MTV VMA’s in 2015: “I’ve decided in 2020 to run for president.”

After meeting Trump last year, it seemed that he had put his presidential aspirations on the back burner, tweeting “#2024″.

Ice Cube, whose real name is O’Shea Jackson, also revealed there were no plans for a sequel to hit film Straight Outta Compton, which depicted his early career with rap group NWA.

He’s currently starring opposite Charlie Day in Fist Fight, a new comedy about two teachers who plan an after-school brawl.

The film hits cinemas this Friday.
