Kanye West Donates <br />$126,000 to Left-Leaning <br />Chicago Mayoral Candidate The hefty contribution to <br />Amaria Enyia comes two days <br />after Kanye announced he was <br />"distancing" himself from politics. The tweet followed the <br />suggestion from a conservative <br />group that West had a hand in <br />designing apparel for "Blexit." "Blexit" is a campaign launched by Candace Owens that encourages African-Americans to leave the <br />Democratic Party. West has endured backlash <br />for his controversial support <br />of President Donald Trump. The contribution to <br />Enyia's campaign was <br />Kanye's second within a week. He initially contributed more than $73,000 in order to help Enyia clear up state campaign finance violations. Her platform focuses <br />on police reform, mental <br />health care and Chicago's <br />African-American neighborhoods.
