Yeezus, Kanye, how did you get in so much debt? The critically egotistical star has, once again, created quite a scandal. I have always loathed Kanye West, so hearing this news did nothing but make me chuckle (mean, I know).
What could have possible happened in West’s life to acquire such a debt that is nearly equal to his wife’s net worth? One can only let their imagination wander.
There are a few theories as to how the perfect, artistic, God-like, “musician” (sarcasm intended) let financial his life fall apart. My personal favorite, and probably the most likely, is that little North and Saint Wests’ wardrobes have put Ye in the hole. If you haven’t noticed, the children walk around in outfits that cost more than many moderately priced cars. Good life choices, Kanye.
Another hypothesis about Kanye’s issues is the fact that he admits to spending nearly $16 million dollars to get his first shoe line with ADIDAS off the ground. Many financial professionals advised him to take a break from the shoe industry after his NIKE deal, but Kanye knows best.
The world learned of West’s debt through a series of heart wrenching tweets he sent out to his loyal followers, beginning with: “I write this to you my brothers while still 53 million dollars in personal debt… Please pray we overcome… This is my true heart…”
Ah, I almost shed a tear. Kanye soon after started a “Go Fund Me” account on FaceBook. Sure, let’s ask the general population to fund a multi-billion dollar making celebrity. You know the worst part? The account has made a total of $6,800 so far; a drop in the bucket compared to what is needed to help out the West’s, but nonetheless, I am slowly loosing my faith in humanity.
Thankfully, Kim K openly keeps her finances separate from Kanye. Maybe your smartest move yet, Kim. I picture her laughing hysterically at Kanye’s tweets as she drops $10,000 on a new fur vest for North.
Although Kanye has made some admirable music, I for one will never get past his conceited, attention seeking self. Y’all already know I hated him since the moment he stole the mic from my girl, Taylor at the VMA’s. Maybe (assuming this debt is actually legitimate), this incident will shock some sense into Yeezus.You arent God, Kanye; God would have his shit together.
