By far the most appalling news we’ve heard this week is the fact that Kanye West, the most self-congratulatory performer of all time, couldn’t get elected President, but is now the wealthiest black person in US history! (Yes, he is the third richest celebrity in the world – even surpassing Oprah! ) It’s appalling because Kanye’s already out-of-control ego will no doubt soar to new heights. His Yeezy deal with Adidas earned Kanye far more money than his music catalog, and his Gap deal added to that. He also owns a big chunk of Kim’s SKIMS company. Since they had an iron-clad prenup, she will NOT be walking off with half his fortune. Kanye is already fond of comparing himself to Picasso and describing himself as a genius. Actually, he was smart to move to Wyoming, which has low taxes and NO state tax – whatever he is building there will be closely watched by other envious rappers. Whether Kanye does significant things with his money remains to be seen…

He worships money and the devil, not Allah. He is an American infidel
Who are you to be appalled by someone elses success? You sound small-minded and jealous. Very unbecoming.
Has his money made him happy? Has his money made him sane?
He worked for that money.
He didn’t get the money given to him from his parents, he EARNED it by being original and having something unique to sell, which was in demand by consumers.
Nothing wrong with that!
He seems fairly harmless, I’ve not heard of him doing anything illegal except stealing a mic from Taylor Swift, and he gave that back. Never heard his music.
And as the guy said above, he didn’t get his money from his family and he didn’t get it through criminal activity so he must have some kind of knack for it.
Just goes to show that money does not buy class
He’s not a billionaire & never will be.
He doesn’t own the company, it’s just a secret licensing deal, which is what happens with all celebs & the companies they claim to own.
The american negro has become the top earner in the entertainment business . In the old days the jewish record producers exploited black musicians and took most of the earnings .
WTF does an old lady like janet know about talent and popular culture much less music. YE is a musical genius who was trapped in the disgusting KKK toxic garbage family. He wasnt intimidated to express his disdain for this disgusting klan. Youre clueless Janet, you really cant comment on popular culture or talent of this generation. Time to retire you old biddy.
Kanye is certainly no genius, or a billionaire.
Hey guys, I’m a billionaire too, just like fake Kylie Jenner! Anyone can claim it, but proving it is the difficult part.
Kanye had a lot of hits, his clothing line looks like straight garbage, this only proves there are a lot more dumb people than Kanye running around.
