The controversial rapper, Kanye West, reportedly went missing a few weeks ago when his ex business manager, Thomas St. John announced him missing. John wrote on his Twitter account that the rapper was nowhere to be found while he was trying to serve West with some legal documents. The legal documents contained the lawsuit where John was trying to sue West for breach of contract. He accused the rapper of stopping paying him a monthly retainer after their aggressive meeting together before he disappeared. He reportedly went into hiding because of the financial problems surrounding him. Forbes recently removed him from its’ billionaires list and changed his net worth from $1.8 billion to $400 million. Much of this money was lost to his once outstanding business deal with Adidas which made his famous shoes, Yeezy’s. As of now the company has cut ties with West but is continuing to sell his popular shoes without the Yeezy design and none of the money going to him or his companies. After being “missing” for weeks, West was finally spotted attending a church service in Beverly Hills with a mystery woman on his arm.
Jackson Martin, a freshman at Palisade said, “I think it’s weird that he went into hiding because of money problems because I know he could probably pay it off easily. I bet the reason he went “missing” was more due to the controversy surrounding him the past few months with like the anti-sematic and racist stuff.``
Kanye West has been in some hot water lately due to the many controversial opinions he has, and this seems to be another breaking point for him and his already shattered image.
