The musician formerly known as Kanye West is having financial difficulties, so some of his fans have turned to GoFundMe in an effort to support him.
Several campaigns were started, according to AllHipHop, with one, in particular, summarizing their overall objective: “Make Kanye West a Billionaire Again.” GoFundMe took down this particular fundraiser after it only raised $5, but a few others have not yet been taken down. his net worth decreased to roughly $500 million after Adidas severed connections with him, according to a Forbes article published last week, and he was “no longer a billionaire.”
Adidas issued a statement saying, “Adidas does not accept antisemitism and any other type of hate speech.” Ye has recently made remarks and taken acts that are undesirable, dangerous, and against the company’s principles of inclusiveness, respect, and fairness.
Ye came under fire for his anti-Semitic statements, use of hate speech, and assertion that George Floyd’s death, which had already been ruled a homicide, was caused in part by fentanyl. Those in Kanye West’s inner circle are “well aware” of his “obsession” with Adolf Hitler, according to a CNN article from last week, which cited four individuals who claimed he almost called his 2018 album Hitler.
Since then, a number of businesses, including Balenciaga, Foot Locker, and CAA, have cut ties with Ye. West stated last week that he “lost two billion dollars in one day” on Instagram. Additionally, he minimized the financial blow by adding, “The money is not who I am. Who I am is the people.
His supporters have attempted to donate money to him previously. In response to his apparent admission of having $53 million in debt, a GoFundMe was created.
