Well, friends — Kanye West is in the spotlight! This time the rapper, also known as Ye, who claims to be a genius, stated that he turned down $2 million offered to him for participating in a cryptocurrency scam. Oh, what principles! What moral foundations!
How West was attempted to be drawn into the scheme
If we are to believe the artist's words, some mysterious characters offered him a deal: he receives $750,000 in advance, promotes some "fake coin," and after 8 hours says that his account was hacked. Sixteen hours later — the final payout of $1.25 million. All classic fraud genre.
But Kanye proved to be above this — he said "no" and immediately unsubscribed from all involved. Of course, after he managed to take a screenshot and share it with the world.
But do people believe him?
As always, the reaction of the subscribers turned out to be ambiguous. Some praise West for his honesty and principles, while others are convinced: this is just another attempt to stir interest in himself before a new release. And, to be honest, the second version sounds much more plausible.
Moreover, the betting market immediately reacted: on the Polymarket platform, the probability that Kanye will launch his token rose from 30% to 46% in a day. Coincidence? Oh, come on!
And what’s next?
If Ye really decides to launch his cryptocurrency, get ready for something like "Yecoin" or "JesusCoin." Given his passion for loud statements, he will surely say that this is not just a coin, but a new digital religion.
The question is only one: if tomorrow Kanye really decides to create his token, will it be a sign of his genius or just another proof that he is a master of hype?
What do you think? Did Kanye really reject dirty money or just prepare the ground for a new project?
