Kanye West Has Spent A Fortune On His Presidential Run

Kanye West is a man of many ambitions, as anyone in the pop culture know can attest. And while he has certainly managed to thrive in some departments, namely in the realms of music and fashion, Kanye West recently made a valiant attempt to crossover into the tumultuous and downright volatile world of politics. Though he did manage to land on a few ballots here and there, it’s safe to say that Kanye’s Presidential campaign was basically a bust — one that ultimately proved rather costly, at that.

According to American political journalist Ben Jacobs of the NY Mag, in September alone, Kanye West went on to spend over three million of his own dollars on his Birthday Party campaign. Jacobs also maintains that as per the FEC report West recently filed, his campaign was able to fundraise a total of $2782, broken down as follows: $1582 in unitemized contributions of under $200, and two separate itemized contributions of $1000 and $200.

Jacobs also confirms that Ye only recently (October 19th) contributed an additional $2 million dollars, an indication that he has no intention of slowing this one down anytime soon. He also clarifies that Kanye West has spent a grand total of $12 million dollars on his presidential campaign, with only a fraction having come directly from donors. “West has loaned his campaign $9.76 million and contributed $2.11 million to it,” tweets Jacob. “His campaign has raised $17,635 from donors.”

It should be noted that Kanye West has also spent millions of dollars hiring Republican consulting firms, including the Lincoln Strategy Group, to whom he now reportedly owes $193,000. In addition to this, Yeezy is also reportedly in the hole for $1.2 million to the Fortified Consulting group. Considering that Kanye is looking at virtually zero chance at securing the Presidency, it’s hard not to wince upon seeing the total numbers — even though few artists are as rich as the Yeezy billionaire, who certainly has a sizable fortune to throw around.

Tsu Surf Sparks Hope from Behind Bars With A Bold Promise of Return

Honk Magazine

In a message that brought hope throughout the hip-hop community, Tsu Surf shared an inspiring update from prison that felt more like a glimpse into his heart than a typical social media post. Recently, Surf made a statement on his Instagram featuring a billboard that promotes Mozzy’s new album, “Intrusive Thoughts.” While the billboard is dedicated to Mozzy, its message resonates, “This message is brought to you by Mozzy. Free Surf.” Surf also wrote a powerful caption: “FREE ME TIL ITS BACCWARDS. BE HOME IN A SECOND. DON’T BLINK.”

For those who’ve been following Surf’s journey, his triumphs, struggles, and legal issues, these words carry a special weight. After pleading guilty in April 2023 to some serious charges related to conspiracy and firearms, Surf was sentenced to five years in prison. This could have been a much worse situation; he was facing up to 30 years. So, when the judge announced the sentence, it felt like a relief to his devoted fans. Since then, things have been quiet on his front, but this new post breaks that silence not with specifics but with energy and hope. Surf’s statement uses the kind of expressive language his fans understand. When he says, “Be home in a second,” he’s suggesting that early release could be possible, even if he doesn’t provide exact details.

The fact that Mozzy, a respected rapper in his own right, strengthened Surf’s message shows a deep bond that goes beyond music. It’s about support and hope for the future. In a world where public backing can quickly fade, Surf’s impact still shines brightly. This moment doesn’t signal his return just yet, but it hints that the countdown to his release might be starting. While Tsu Surf may be physically locked away, his spirit remains alive and active. And if his words indicate, he could be back sooner than anyone thinks.
