Kanye West’s messy finances continue to fall apart as according to an exclusive report published by a news platform (The Daily Mail )on Wednesday, January 3, he owes over $1 million in unpaid taxes.
Yeezy Apparel, LLC, his company, is the target of four liens.
As per the report, Kanye owes the company $934,033.56 in taxes covering three years. Along with that, he supposedly owes $101,093 in property taxes on the two Calabasas homes he owned with Kim Kardashian, his ex-wife.
The rapper, producer, and designer has had a turbulent few years following his dropping out of Adidas, Gap, Balenciaga, and numerous other brands due to his anti-Semitic outbursts, which caused his $2 billion net worth to plummet to $400 million, which Forbes later claims that after his business contracts were terminated, Kanye lost his status as a billionaire.
Apart from losing business, he has also lost the support of his followers due to his controversial remarks, such as saying that “slavery is a choice” and maintaining that Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin did not kill George Floyd—instead, Floyd passed away from a fentanyl overdose.
