Fans Created GoFundMe Pages To Get Kanye West Back To Billionaire Status -- Here's The Result

It hasn’t been long since Kanye West reportedly lost his billion-dollar status, and already some fans are going the extra mile to restore West’s net worth. Billionaire status: As AfroTech previously reported, the Yeezy founder’s severed ties with adidas led his net worth to fall to $400 million, according to Forbes.

Yet, it appears some steadfast fans are looking to create a redemption arc for West, and are using GoFundMe pages to organize their efforts. One page even made it clear that their goal was to “Make Kanye West a Billionaire Again,” according to Rolling Stone.

TMZ reports these efforts have been far from successful.

In fact, amongst the various pages that surfaced, none raised over $25, and on average most earned between $5 to $6.

GoFundMe has since taken action to remove these pages for breaching their terms of service as the money raised is required to be used for the details stated on the page. Additionally, they were taken down because West was not a beneficiary.

in a more idiotic fashion than giving it to Trump.
Unlike Trump, Kanye was actually a billionaire at one point, yet how stupid can someone be to give either of them a nickel?

whatever the hell that insane narcissist is calling himself these days anything but scorn.

According to the article it appears West is not the beneficiary of some of these GFMs.

No wonder we are thought of child-like imbeciles by so much of the rest of the world.

Poor guy, to see his net worth REDUCED to $400 million. I don't see how he expects to pay his next utility bill.

Oh, wait. He's a Republican. Yes, I do see how he'll pay it. He'll file ownership papers in Federal court for the sun. Then he will charge everyone on the planet 10 cents per day to use solar power. That should restore his financial health in no time flat, and you just KNOW there are some Trump-appointed judges out there who will grant his claim.
