Non of these guys compare to Kanye. Jay comes the closest musically but as a figure in culture Kanye is unmatched.

Dominated two fields and counting, first hip hop billionaire, etc

Nobody is buying yeezy for a billion
Kanye doesn’t have the ability to hold a billion in liquid assets

It was valued at over a billion by Bank of America lol.

That Bloomberg article from a couple of months back basically validated everything Kanye has been saying.

He was the first billionaire but they gave it to jay because he plays the game for them people and Kanye doesn’t

Nah g
Kanye’s entire “billionaire” claim is a 10x valuation of yeezy+real estate+his good music ownership which they valued at 100m
Nobody in their right mind is buying yeezy for a billion

Bruh listen very carefully right. Finaces is not "media". If various financial institutions said that yeezy was not worth a billion then YEEZY WAS NOT WORTH A BILLION. 😂 TF bruh you think the Investment banking sector of JP Morgan, BOA, Goldman Sachs etc were scheming against kanye He is nothing compared to them or most of their clients 😂 if they valued kanye/ his assets below a billion then he is below a billion. Also we dont even know if kanye is still worth a billion because that valuation was based on 2019 numbers and we have no idea how the corona virus impacted yeezy sales/production

Finance definitely is media you f***ing idiot. Forbes and Bloomberg are both financial magazines and are both subject to having bias and agendas.

Theres nothing worse than a nigga tryna be condescending and then being wrong.

The actual financial institutions like Banks were actually the ones corroborating what Kanye was saying.

"Yeezy is West’s largest asset by far. His personal accountant, David Choi, provided an unaudited balance sheet that pegs the rapper’s net worth at $3.15 billion and lists more than $200 million of other assets. They include four houses in California -- two in Hidden Hills, one in Thousand Oaks and another in Calabasas -- as well as properties in Wyoming and his native Chicago, Choi said."

Media in the sense that they dont have biases towards people. Its cold hard numbers these are Financial publications idiot. They only go off of what numbers are submitted to them. FORBES DOES NOT DO VALUATIONS. Only accredited financial institutes like banks or investment firms give out credible valuations. Therefore if forbes said that he wasnt a billionaire. There was a very good reason lmao also kanye was in 53 million im debt DID YOU FORGET???

They do have biases towards people lmao. If you dont think so youre a f***ing idiot.

So please tell me lmao what reason would FORBES have against kanye west 😂

Dawg they literally included everything jay z had just to get him over a billion including his "art collection"

Exactly
Everything combined outside of yeezy is only 200m
And even then thats a stretch
Nobody paying 50m+ to buy good music lmao
The point is jay actually has the liquid assets
Kanye doesn’t because his whole “billionaire” status is based on a supped up valuation of yeezy

"Alexandra Fletcher, a Bank of America spokeswoman, confirmed the authenticity of the document reviewed by Bloomberg. Prepared in September, it hasn’t been updated since the coronavirus pandemic began. The valuation of “future royalties generated in the footwear category is estimated from $1.75 billion to $3 billion,” according to the bank’s preliminary a***ysis."

😂😂😂😂 crying broo

"A BOA SPOKESPERSON" Yeah they said the document of the yeezy 3 billion valuation is CREDIBLE. Kanye does not Soley own YEEZY.

Also that snippet has nothing to do with the above post of the personal accountant. This is in reference to the yeezy footwear valuation or royalites in excess of 3 billion.

you didnt read the article. His houses and s*** is 200 million. HIs catalogue is 100 million.

And yeezy is valued at anywhere from 1.7-3 billion.

Once again
Not a single soul on this earth would buy yeezy for that amount

Kanye owns 100% of Yeezy. Yeezy =/= Yeezy adidas shoes

And this is where the argument falls apart
The shoes are the only thing making moves
Yeezy clothing is damn near non existant
