In the wake of Kanye West’s recent “downward spiral,” fans kickstarted a GoFundMe campaign(s) to help him regain billionaire status this week. The rapper’s die-hard fans feel he was done dirty by business partners who severed ties with him amid his anti-Semitism.
The fashion mogul‘s fans felt he could return to his enviable financial status via crowdfunding. Per TMZ, the pitiable campaign(s) only made a few bucks before they were taken down with GFM‘s authorization.
Kanye West’s critics were in contrast with the idea of his fans helping him reclaim billionaire status by raising money for him. In response, they created their own GFMs asking people to make them billionaires instead of Ye.
More people are interested in the goofy act seeing that the campaigns are multiplying. They feel it’s a waste of resources trying to make Ye financially weightier. Make them richer instead.

Kanye West’s Fans’ Campaign to Help Him Regain Billionaire Status Reflects People’s Anger
The campaigns created by Kanye West’s fans to help him regain billionaire status may be goofy, but it’s pointing out facts. It reflects how angry the rapper has made people all over the world.
Many people were quick to create these GoFundMes to counter Kanye’s fans’ request to make him a billionaire. His anti-Semitism was condemned by many, costing him relationships he holds dear.
Last month, the rapper was on Piers Morgan’s show, where he was questioned if his anti-Semitic comments were racist. He agreed they were and further revealed that he was targeting the Jews who did him wrong. If he had his way, he would go “death con 3” with them.
The 45-year-old father of four stamped his feet on his remarks on Drink Champs in the same month. Since then, he has lost significant business partnerships due to his anti-Semitism, and his fans feel sorry for him.
The GoFundMe campaign started by Kanye West’s fans to help him get back or regain billionaire status was brought down because Ye wasn’t the official beneficiary. Funds on the platform must be used for the reason stated on the fundraising page.
It’s unsure if the money raised from the campaign will go to Ye. Hence the termination of the campaign.
FYI: These new anti-Ye pages are falling flat. None have raised more than $25, and a majority are in the $5 – $6 range. They are still active because they do not flout GFM‘s terms of service.
