Kanye West Fan Set Up Go Fund Me Site To Help Rapper Get Over With $53 Million Debt

Kanye West's launching of his new album, Life of Pablo last week became more dramatic when he announced on Twitter that he is $53 million short of money said to have been invested for his fashion line.

In response to that, a fan named Jeremy Piatt, seriously took Ye's announcement and has set up a Go Fund Me page on February 15 to help the rapper from his financial struggle, Vibe reported.

"Recently, Kanye let us in on his personal struggle. He is 53 million dollars in debt and it doesn't look like he's going to get Mark Zuckerberg's help that he desperately needs. We must open our hearts and wallets for Kanye today. Sure he is personally rich and can buy furs and houses for his family, but without our help, the true genius of Kanye West can't be realized," he wrote in his opening lines.

Piatt, a staunch supporter and believer of Kanye West quotes the rapper's claim saying he is the "greatest living artist and greatest artist of all time" and that he compares himself to be at par with Shakespeare's genius.

The page creator also assured readers that the funds go directly to the rapper and his family-wife Kim Kardashian and their two kids.

"I'd like to update everyone and let you know that I don't want a penny from this. I would like everything to go to Kanye. Since he is such a high profile public figure, I would prefer to have GoFundMe transfer all funds to his people directly."

ABC 13 Eyewitness News reported that the crowdfunding site did gain support from 249 people said to have raised more than $2,200 in just two days, figures that have not reached fifty percent from what Piatt has promised.

Some may ask how a multi-Grammy awardee, an entrepreneur and brand promoter can get such staggering debt. In a detailed explanation from Vanity Fair, the source cited that the rapper has been in debt since 2009 when he launched his brands, Pastelle and G.O.O.D. merchandise. With his products barely reaching stores, he was not able to gain back all his investments that has totaled up to $30 million.

His endorsements for Nike, with only a percentage for him, has not even solved his debts.
