So he didn’t really have it. Ye isn’t Hov. The adidas deal was the only thing that ever boosted his net worth to that level it was always BS
You fundamentally misunderstand my comment. Here’s some info on Jay’s net worth
“Jay-Z's estimated $2.5 billion–$2.8 billion net worth is primarily based on his diverse business empire and luxury brand ownership, rather than music sales. Key drivers include his 50% stake in Armand de Brignac champagne, his partnership with D'Usse cognac, the entertainment agency Roc Nation, and a portfolio including Tidal, investments, and real estate.”
It’s very unlikely that Jay-Z has $1,000,000,000 sitting in a checking account. Any significant net worth is comprised of multiple types of assets. Kanye was a legit billionaire and if the $6.6B evaluation was true, he would have been the richest black man in American history.
Nah u gotta learn to read or just scroll by
I'm in bag 🛍️ ⬅️
Most of what you are saying itt is fair for the most part I'd say.
He's the example of a man who LOVES everyone... and is a creative genius. Guys like him can go off the rails, and anyone who abandoned someone like him, who gave us so much, over crazy tweets, when he clearly wasn't doing well, it says a lot about the folks who choose to hate on him, instead of trying to empathize with him, they continue this cycle of hate.
He's clearly apologized and is in a NEW PEAK.
Look the popularity of kanye still and the cultural cache even after everything
If he wasnt so brain damage and locked in on Yeezy then of course it would have lasted and kept making crazy money

Jay-Z has a billion…he sold his assets
sold 50% stake to Moet and pocketed $300M
sold entire stake to Bacardi (the partnership) for $600M
sold Tidal to Jack Dorsey for $300M
Ye turned into a fascist antisemite enabler, it wasnt just tweets
He was wearing the kkk hood and swastika, making HH anthems lol
It wasnt bout Israel either, it was just pure hate for some jews turned into hate for every jew. If he would gon hard af on israel and jewish people supporting that apartheid state he actually wouldve been praised fs
In retrospect, it's crazy how much Ye sabotaged himself. Yeezy was so big and popular back then... He transcended hip-hop and was on his way to solidifying himself as a legitimate fashion designer. Then, boom he started doing all that coon s*** which spiraled into straight-up nazism and white supremacy, and he eventually lost everything. If he had actually locked in and taken his meds, he wouldn't just be incredibly rich; he would have gone down as an unquestionable genius in the history books. The hardest part was already over, all he needed to do was to remain lowkey and keep building his brand. What a fumble.
I have avoided all Kanye discussion but all imma say is that I think its very funny how many people would be the first to speak out on anything anti-black but are willing to turn the other cheek with Ye despite how insane the anti-black s*** he was spewing out was.
Tbh, I think black people forgiving Ye is setting a really disgusting precedent but w/e. It’s fine cause hes the GOAT right?
“Tweets”


not defending any of this but the slavery is a choice moment aged well he was lowkey spitting but his delivery was horrible
edit: he wasn't lowkey spitting that's a bad choice of words. i just understand (regardless of it was his intention or not) what he is saying and never interpreted it as him being literal
It was on twitter linked to the crime watch statistics and during the time Nazi rallies were being public in america that hard in a long time
I don't have it on hand from 3 years ago, but the rallies and figureheads literally being embolden by Kanye and using him as an icon and motivator and propaganda that caused a lot of the hate crime violence is a general easy correlation
“ it was on twitter “
“ emboldened “
“ using him as an icon “
“ caused a lot of hate crime and violence “
Sir it’s 2026 and you are an adult
This combination of words shouldn’t be your source for anything so serious
People on Twitter have the ability to lie and make up things all the time
The highway sign I saw
The rest of what you are talking about is out there but possible . However if so true it would be easy to source .

What he did and said was reprehensible but I am going to enjoy the art . He has said reprehensible things his entire career especially past decade . He apologized and lost out on money . What’s your call to action that others don’t listen to him because you don’t ? I understand and respect why you don’t
Make a song praising hitler and self proclaiming as a Nazi is just words brehs
Damn people today are so easy to manipulate it's pretty crazy to see in real time. Anyone who spends their days staring at screens have really lost touch with reality and can easily be controlled with them even realizing it
It’s freedom of speech . Freedom of speech was literally formed in Chicago by a Jewish man who fought for a Nazi to express . That’s the point of America . Yall don’t need to tell us he created hh every time . We know he used his freedom to create and in turn sell hate speech . It’s entirely reprehensible. There are artist who use their voice and money to fund wars, who are serial killers ( rip von), who push hatred towards other black people, pharmaceuticals, sell fentanyl and more .
People will still listen to ye art . He got medicated and ideally won’t be manic anymore saying terrible things . This s*** had been escalating for past 10 years . With no help from ye getting increasingly untrusting of those around him post 5150
Kanye threw all that away literally during mania period lmao which was why I brought up everything else such as him having self hate towards the black community and tapping for white supremacists such as white lives matter and stereotypes among other things he talked against black people
No, they used Kanye to onboard because he made them have further reach, the most positive PR and seem cool to idiots
They used Kanye to be bigger, to seem better and to seem justified - idk how you don't understand this, he is the "good negro" literally called by from them and the "useful negro", "the negro that sees the true light" that they use and manipulate to cause harm and propaganda that they couldn't do themselves - this is a playbook since literally slavery that became mastered in crow era
And I'm saying it literally had a noticable spike during just Kanye's continuous rants, period, and it encourage many Nazis and other supremacists groups rallies literally during that moment - it's a trend on top of a trend lol
You literally are
You’ve done everything in this thread to attribute it to ye and not Israel even a lil bit . When openly Israel will tell you hate crimes went up since the “ war “ started . There is genuine research about it not “ well on Twitter 3 years ago I saw a pamphlet “ . Genuine research articles . There are many black people that were untrusting of Jews before ye. Especially due to deed theft in New York and an entire underground city that we now know about . The stereotypes of the Jews and the uneasiness by the poor existed before ye said anything . Was he used yes
But acting like ye formed a distrust of a people out of nowhere on people that formerly were never on the fence on the first place is dishonest . It simply is .
Putting on a KKK hoodie is more than a tweet
Dissing Virgil in song is more than a tweet
Threatening Kim’s bf on wax is more than a tweet
Harassing your bm sending gifts post divorce is more than a tweet
Having your daughter on stage next to s***offenders is more than a tweet.
But, ard.
While I agree this is all reprehensible none of this is why he lost out on billions as in specifically adidas deal

Like both got on bully mask but some how Americana feels more righteous because they can say read a book
No controversy just some opinions
Is that really so
The question in title is bait . Clearly more than some opinions and was just potential billions . He f***ed himself up by continuously escalating situations and d*** use at a time when he needed to recenter
