Controversial American rapper and billionaire Kanye West, aka Ye, has caused an uproar across social media after sharing how he was offered a $2 million offer to promote a cryptocurrency scam.
The rapper recently made headlines for walking into the street and stopping traffic for his wife to have a photoshoot in the middle of the road.
Kanye disclosed that the scam involved posting a fraudulent promotion and later claiming his account was hacked.
According to Kanye West, the fraud would have seen him promote fraud to his millions of followers, only to later claim his account was hacked. However, at that point, those who fell victim could have lost their money.
“I was proposed 2 million dollars to scam my community. Those left of it. I said no and stopped working with the person who proposed it,” Kanye West said in a viral tweet on Friday, February 7.
As proof, the rapper included a screenshot in his post revealing how promoting a “fake ye currency” was supposed to unfold.
According to the screenshot, West would get an upfront payment of $750,000 to share the crypto promotion and keep it live for 8 hours, after which he could claim his account was hacked, and he was the one who promoted the fake Cryptocurrency on his page.
This would be followed by a $1.25 million payout 16 hours later.
