Kanye West Criticizes Forbes For Underestimating His Net Worth

Ye was valued at $2 billion by Forbes, he went on to claim that the magazine underestimates is $7 billion net worth.

Kanye West has a net worth of $2 billion dollars, according to Forbes. Ye is a self-made millionaire as a result of his Yeezy apparel company, but he appears to be dissatisfied with Forbes. Kanye West is a wealthy man, but he is enraged that Forbes is undervaluing his efforts and assets.

The magazine puts West’s current net worth as $2 billion on its star-studded list. However, insiders told The Blast that West is genuinely worth $7 billion.

Kanye’s Partnership With Adidas

West has a profitable connection with Adidas that accounts for a substantial portion of his net worth, as you may be aware. He also has a large deal with GAP, for which he manufactures and designs clothes. Remember that West is also one of the industry’s most successful artists and producers, allowing him to collect much more wealth. The Yeezy Gap apparel collaboration garnered $1 billion in sales in its first year, and a new line, Yeezy Gap Engineered by Balenciaga, will be released later this year.

West is one of many celebrities to make the Forbes Billionaires List. Oprah Winfrey, worth $2.6 billion, and his ex-wife Kim Kardashian, valued $1.8 billion, are his closest competitors

Kanye West Recently Bagged Grammy Awards

At the 2022 Grammy Awards, Kanye West and Jay-Z received the Grammy Award for Best Rap Song for “Jail.” DMX (“Bath Salts”), Saweetie (“Best Friend”), Baby Keem (“Family Ties”), and J. Cole (“My Life”) were all nominated, but it was the Donda song that took home the award. West won Best Melodic Rap Performance for “Hurricane,” which he co-wrote with the Weeknd and Lil Baby. Jay-Z and Kanye West have a combined total of 24 Grammy Awards.

It’s not the first time Kanye has expressed his displeasure with Forbes. West allegedly texted the publisher after the magazine called him a billionaire in 2020. He disputed their appraisal of his net worth. West was displeased with their findings, alleging that his net worth is closer to $3.3 billion than the $1.26 billion they estimated. “It’s not a billion,” West allegedly texted the outlet. “It’s  $3.3 billion because no one at Forbes can count”.

J Cole On 21 Savage

While Cole didn’t win any golden gramophones this year, he did make a splash in Raleigh, North Carolina at the Dreamville Festival. Cole performed 21 Savage’s Grammy-winning track “a lot” during his headlining set. Cole, sang on 21 Savage track, informed the audience that the United Kingdom native is responsible for his first (and only) Grammy Award.

“Y’all make some noise for 21 Savage,” he said. “He got a n-gga his first — the only Grammy I ever won was because of this n-gga 21 Savage”.

Kanye West was also nominated for many categories, but did not attend the Grammys. The Recording Academy eliminated Kanye’s performance after his engagement in “disturbing internet activity”. Instead, Ye spent the day with his “lover,” Chaney Jones, celebrating his cousin’s grandmother’s 85th birthday.

Eminem bids Grammy bye-bye

Eminem Bids Grammy Bye-bye

/4 Comments/in /by

Eminem is not willing to have anything to do with the Grammy anymore. If you are a lover of hiphop, you’d have heard about Eminem and listened to his songs. Eminem has been nominated about 44 times and has won the Grammy 15 times. 

 

The rapper doesn’t want to have anything to do with the Recording Academy again. Having boycotted the awards, he expressed to not be part of it again. 

 

Eminem said “Every f**king year, I’m tired of seeing it. For whatever reason, they’re always pitching this hint that you might win album of the year, which used to be a big deal. I don’t think it’s a big deal now, I sat at home for the Grammys this year and watched Jay and Kendrick not get it, and I felt like one of them should have got it. I felt Joyner Lucas should have won a Grammy for “I’m Not Racist.” Every year we went, I was up for album of the year, and then ‘the winner is Norah Jones!’”

 

He said further, “Don’t f**king get us all here, to use as your selling point for your f**king show, and stiff everybody every single f**king time. After that point in time, I said don’t ever ask me to come here again. My answer is no for a hundred million years.”

 

Nicki Minaj has also expressed her displeasure towards the recording academy. Don’t forget, Kanye West is not on the list of artists to perform at this year’s Grammy Awards night.

J Prince Says Kanye, Drake, Minaj, Others To Plan All-Star Concert On Grammys Night

/3 Comments/in /by

J Prince is pro who could get anything done musically. He was the one who ended Drake and Kanye West’s beef last year and the founder of Rap-A-Lot Records. Prince helped Drake and Kanye to organize their Free Larry Hoover Benefit Concert. 

Prince took to Instagram to announce his plan to initiate  a ground breaking event. He revealed his plan on the Instagram post to organize an all-star concert. The essence is to express his displeasure with the removal of Kanye West from performing at the 2022 Grammy Awards concert. 

Prince called on Drake, Nicki Minaj, The Weeknd, Kanye West, and others to unite and plan a concert on the 64th Annual Grammy Awards night. He told them to plan the concert in Las Vegas where the Grammys will hold on the same night. 

Prince’s call for an all-star concert is coming after Kanye was removed from the list of artists to perform at the Grammys night. Kanye’s removal was due to his “concerning online behavior” towards Pete Davidson, his  ex-wife Kim Kardashian, Trevor Noah, and so on. 

Prince said, “I recommend that the artists I mentioned above — and more — come together in Las Vegas and perform at the same time as the Grammys on a special network and streaming platform to prove that ratings will change where the Grammys are concerned when the No. 1 selling genre in music — Hip Hop — come together. Because there’s power in numbers.

“The powers that be will be mad at me about this one. But fuck ’em! I love the culture. The seed has been planted; let’s water it.”

He added, “I’ve been watching the Grammys control and dictate our culture to their benefit up close and personal for the past 30 years. And all the artists, managers and executives would do is complain, but never have the nuts to come together to do anything about it. 

“This is a slave master, punish-a-n-gga mentality and act to remind us that no matter how much money we have, we’re still n-ggas in their eyes. So they cancel Kanye and discriminated against Drake, The Weeknd, Nicki Minaj and many others over the years. This will only be broken by us uniting our powers to bring about change moving forward.”

The Grammys for this year are scheduled for April 3 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

The Trinidadian rapper stated on the 20th of March, that he urged Hughley to make things right concerning the latest online hitch he had with Kanye West. VladTv reported that Hughley was surprised at London’s story. As he said nothing happened except for just a brief moment of communication.

 

The 59-year-old continued to explain that he observed London roaming around the table while eating dinner with his family at Nobu. When the comedian went to use the convenience, he saw London taking selfies by the mirror side. London seize that opportunity to ask 

 “What up OG?” before bringing up the rivalry he had with Kanye and telling him the reasons to “make it right.” But Hughley shouted back, “[Kanye West] needs to make it right!”

 

The conversation ended at that point and he left the restroom. He also observed that Hughley security intervened in the matter.

 

Both parties seem to give different versions of the story. From videos uploaded on Instagram and different photos, it was observed that London confronted Hughley around the restroom area.

 

“LMAO,” he wrote. “I TOLD HIM TO APOLOGIZE ON CAMERA FOR DOING THAT VLAD INTERVIEW AND HIS PEOPLE CALLED SECURITY.”

Talking about the tattoo scenario, Kardashian explained that people might misunderstand the tattoo everyone saw in Pete’s text exchange with Kanye. She clarified that the tattoo is “actually a branding.” Much more, Pete “wanted to do something that was really different,” Kim added. 

 

“I think he was like, ‘I want something that’s there that I can’t, you know, get rid of,’ Kim clarified, “cause he’s in the process of getting rid of his arm tats and his neck tats.” Kim said further that: “So he’s like, ‘I don’t wanna be able to get rid of it or to cover it up, and I just wanted it, like, there as a scar on me.'”

More than for branding, Kim said Pete also has some Kimmy tattoos. “For the first tattoo he got, I was like, ‘Oh, so cute! Thank you! Oh my god!’” said Kardashian explained. “I’m like, ‘That’s so cute.’ But like, that’s what tattoo people do, right? Like they get tattoos of what’s going on in their life.”
