The rapper, whose real name is, Juaquin Malphurs, says that the first thing he will do as President is to legalize cannabis for recreational use. In a Tweet way back in 2012, on Election Day, Flame already hinted that he will run for president on 2016.

According to his campaign platform, the platinum-selling recording artist says that as president would outlaw people who have feet over size 13 to walk the streets.  Instead they should take cabs, buses, or trains.  Also, Flame wants to forbid animanls from restaurants.

In his video campaign, Flame also discusses policy proposals on jobs, such as a wage inrease of US$15 an hour; in education, where he wants to concentrate on teaching kids "reality" skills and that they must learn his lyrics at a young age.  Other reforms cover Congress. Flame also said that as President, he will not wear suits but rather wear tank tops and flip flops. He said that his biggest competitor is Hillary Clinton.

However, at 28 years old, Flame by law, is not eligible to run for the presidency.
