Nearly two years after receiving major backlash for claiming slavery was a choice, Kanye West has caused a fresh storm with his comments about anti-slavery activist Harriet Tubman.

Kanye started his journey to the White House with controversy at his first rally this weekend, claiming Tubman “never actually freed the slaves. She just had the slaves go work for other white people”.

The musician, who recently registered to run for president of the US, became emotional when talking about abortion, speaking of his own parents and admitting that he and his wife Kim considered terminating Kim's first pregnancy.

“My dad wanted to abort me. My mom saved my life. There would have been no Kanye West because my dad was too busy. I almost killed my daughter,” he said, breaking down in tears.

However, it was his comments on slavery and Tubman that shook the internet, landing him on top of the local Twitter trends list.

Fans flooded TLs, slamming Kanye for his comments.
