Kanye West, aka Ye, says he rejected a $2 million offer to promote a cryptocurrency scam, which involved posting a fraudulent promotion and later claiming his account was hacked.
Kanye West, who now goes by Ye, says he rejected a $2 million offer to participate in a crypto scam. The scheme allegedly involved him posting a fraudulent crypto promotion to his 32.6 million followers and claiming his account was hacked hours later. By that point, victims could have already lost significant sums of money.
“I was proposed 2 million dollars to scam my community. Those left of it. I said no and stopped working with their person who proposed it,” West said in a Feb. 7 X post.
West included a screenshot in his post revealing how the scam promoting a “fake ye currency” was supposed to unfold.
