In one of the earlier posts, Kanye shared another screenshot of an “X Promotional Contract” offer sent to him. It says Kanye will be paid around $2 million dollars for promoting a fake Ye cryptocurrency to his followers. Interestingly, it said that Kanye can post “my account was hacked, the post was not me,” to get him out of the trouble.
Even though the rapper said he rejected this offer and stopped working with that person, he received criticism from the audience. While most of the people replied that Kanye exposed all the big accounts who promoted the tokens and then said it was a scam, some of them said the screenshot is fake.
The message says, “The company will be scamming the public out of tens of millions of dollars.” No company that does this and approaches a celebrity may not publicly mention this.
