Caroline Lucas has over 300,000 followers on Twitter and one of them may be quite a surprise.
Kanye West, the rapper who recently claimed he was staying out of politics, follows just 120 people and the former Green Party co-leader happens to be one of them.
West who also likes to be referred to as Ye, also follows Bernie Sanders and Emma Gonzales.
His appreciation of the Brighton MP was brought to Ms Lucas’ attention who thanked him for the follow.
Many people took to social media to share their confusion.
It comes after West announced that he was putting a stop to his public support for Donald Trump and the Republican Party earlier this week.
He said he was distancing himself from politics and claimed he had been “used.”
The artist denied any involvement in the design of ‘Blexit’ clothing created to encourage black Americans to quit the Democratic party after reports he was involved in the campaign.
In a series of posts to his 28 million Twitter followers, Kanye said had “nothing to do with” the merchandise, adding: “I’ve been used to spread messages I don’t believe in”.
"I am distancing myself from politics and completely focusing on being creative!!!,” he added. “I never wanted any association with Blexit. I have nothing to do with it.”
