Much to the surprise of many Americans invested in the Donald Trump/Joe Biden electoral competition, some people actually voted for Kanye West.

Early voting numbers showed the rapper-turned-presidential candidate garnered 0.1 percent of the ballots cast in Louisiana, 0.3 percent in Oklahoma, 0.3 percent in Arkansas and 0.3 percent in Mississippi, among a few other states, according to the Houston Chronicle.

West, who is married to reality television star and model Kim Kardashian West, initially announced his candidacy on July 4.

It's not at all likely he will be elected, but he has vowed to “cure homelessness and hunger” if he does happen to win, as reported by NME's Tom Skinner.

As of 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Kanye had not received any votes in the Lone Star State.
