December 01, (THEWILL) – Kanye West, aka Ye, has revealed that the Internal Revenue Service has put a hold on four of his bank accounts because he owes the Federal Government $50 million in taxes.
Ye made the revelation during an interview with right-leaning podcaster, Tim Pool, on Monday.
The rapper appeared on the podcast alongside white nationalist, Nicholas Fuentes and controversial media personality, Milo Yiannopoulos, who is now working for Ye’s presidential campaign.
Ye bolted the interview on Pool’s “Timcast IRL” podcast after the host pushed back on the rapper’s latest anti-Semitic comments about alleged Jewish control of the media.
Fuentes and Ye dined last week with Donald Trump, at the former president’s Mar-a-Lago residence in Palm Beach, igniting outrage.
Before the contentious portion of the interview, Ye opened up about his finances.
The “Gold Digger” crooner, who appeared on the podcast to promote his 2024 presidential campaign, told Pool that his finance people told him he will have to pay a lot of taxes.
“I’m talking about literally finding out that they were trying to put me in prison this morning.
“But I found out that they froze, they put a $75 million hold on four of my accounts.
“And then they said, ‘You owe a lot of taxes.
“Took me like six hours to find out how much ‘a lot’ was. It was well around $50 million”.
The rapper noted that he is obviously not the most literate financial person so he had to turn to different CFO’s to see if he is at risk of being charged with tax evasion.
