KANYE WEST YEAR ON TWITTER
Kanye had a huge year on Twitter, with countless memorable Tweets, Tweetstorms, album announcements, Yeezy/fashion related announcements, and more from Kanye.
To celebrate his birthday we decided to pull his biggest moments on Twitter in the past year. The below graph outlines the days of the year where Kanye was mentioned the most on Twitter. I’ve outlined them below starting with the biggest moment – his announcement he’d be running for president in 2020. This moment sparked nearly 6M mentions of Kanye on Twitter.

While he was accepting the Video Vanguard Award from Taylor Swift at the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards, Kanye ended his long speech by dropping the bomb that he would be running president.
