Kanye West may have seen his billionaire status axed after being chopped from Adidas, but the GRAMMY winner won’t stay down for long if his fans have their way.
Four years after his former sister-in-law, Kylie Jenner, saw her fans assemble to make her the world’s youngest billionaire, West’s supporters are uniting via GoFundMe to help him be a billionaire again.
Since the announcement of Adidas’ denouncement of Kanye’s recent anti-Semitic commentary, the rapper’s fans have launched multiple crowdfunding campaigns with $1 billion goals to assist with beefing up his net worth.
And though many of the pages have been taken down due to fear of fraudulent activity (despite not seeing their campaign pass the triple-digit mark), the message being sent is loud and clear: West has some seriously dedicated fans.
The news comes after the 45-year-old’s deal with the sportswear company ended, causing his former multi-billion dollar net worth to plummet to $400 million (according to Forbes).
The damage was furthered when his partnerships with Balenciaga, Vogue and Gap were abruptly canceled as well due to his anti-Semitic remarks.
