Ye, the rapper formerly known as Kanye West, says the Internal Revenue Service has put a $75 million hold on his accounts.

Ye talked about his financial situation during a Monday night episode of the right-wing "Timcast IRL" podcast that also featured white nationalist Nick Fuentes and alt-right figure Milo Yiannopoulos. Speaking to host Tim Pool, Ye said his "finance people" told him he is going to "have to pay a lot of taxes."

"I'm talking about literally finding out that they were trying to put me in prison this morning," the rapper said....

...— the rapper said he was trying to buy his own bank and wondered aloud if he could run for president from jail...

It is clear Trump does not have staff that checks backgrounds of his guests.

Or perhaps he does........but they are Republicans.

Not everyone goes to jail owing back taxes.

If Ye owes $50-$100 million in back taxes his financial advisors and accountants have performed poorly. Ye should hire a real independent audit firm to sort through his books and likely discover he has been swindled.

What we do not really know is if he really owes that much in taxes. Who did his taxes? Who let g.this happen that was hired to do his finances? Friends of Kardashians? If so, they are going to leave him with nothing.

Ye needs to chat with Rev. Sharpton about dealing with the IRS.

Ye’ll probably get to avoid jail time if he gives up some useful intel on others, now that he’s at their mercy, he’s toxic.

He owes $50 million?

Pay your taxes, Ye!

I think a certain number of Trumps secret service want Trump to fail and fail in ways great and small. These people are likely to be embedded by Never Trumps or GOPe.

The SS just checks for criminal histories and threats. They do not check for political positions.

That is why most ex-POTUS have someone embedded with the SS to see the backgrounds and also to check for past comments.

Trump knows there is a target on his back. This could have been avoided easily. It is self-inflicted and gives his enemies ammunition unnecessarily.

>>He is not someone useful to our side in any way.

He may be useful if he can drive a wedge between Jewish and Black Democratic voters, so long as he is kept at arms length.

That guy is one hot mess. But after having kids with a Kardashian .... I would say he still has a long row to hoe.
LOL - pun and unintended offense not intended.

I think he’s bankrupt within 24 months. Takes some time for the machinery to grind and the effects of no cash flow to play out.

A quick search shows Forbes/Bloomberg placing his networth between $1.3B and $6.6B over the past year or two. I don;t think a $50MM tax fine (even if true) is gonna hurt him that bad...

A quick search should also reveal 1.5 billion of that was his Adidas contract.

Which was canceled. I believe they’re uing him for 275 million.

The IRS liened him for $75 million.

He owes $200,000 PER MONTH in child support.

“I ain’t sayin’ she a gold digger, but I ain’t seen her with no broke n*gga!”

Kanye will be bankrupt within 24 months. Wanna make a gentlemanly $100 bet on it? To be donated to FR.

Try doing business without BANKS.

Try doing business without the distribution of your music.

Try doing business without access to venues for concerts.

He’s a dead man walking.

You have to realize he’s the one they want to make an example of to any other uppity Negroes that may come along and challenge the Democrat plantation system.

Sources familiar with his finances say that West has five sources of income, and that four of them have been either completely shut down or badly compromised by his anti-Semitic outburst and support for white supremacists.

https://pagesix.com/2022/10/30/kanye-west-could-face-financial-crisis-within-months/

No cash flow. No debt service. No banks.

Who do you think runs this country? You do know the Democrats are owned by the group Kanye offended, right? Who are all the big donors, chief of staff, legal team etc etc.

Biden is the figurehead but he sure ain’t running the show.

Kanye is toast. The man’s out at a strip mall eating dinner tonight. Saw the photo of him with his 5’1” Hispanic troll buddy.

He is going to be BROKE.

Look up what % of NBA and NFL stars go broke once that income stream dries up = gone.
