“He’s had to humble himself”: Kanye West’s Desperate Financial Situation Has Forced Him to Ask Ex-wife Kim Kardashian For Help – Insider Claims

Kanye West, one of the best-selling musicians in the world, seems to be having a downtime when it comes to his finances and allegedly, the person he is seeking help from is none other than his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian.

For years, West had the kind of reputation in the industry that was unrivaled. However, that changed in the past couple of years due to the alleged anti-semitic comments he made on social media. Numerous collaborators cut off their ties with him after those comments, and it seems to have finally taken a toll on his financial stability.

Kanye West Is Allegedly Asking for Financial Help from Ex-wife Kim Kardashian

Kanye West began dating Kim Kardashian in April 2012 while the latter was still trying to legally break off the knot with New Jersey Nets player Kris Humphries. Later that year, they announced that they were going to have a baby. They got married in 2014.

West and Kardashian went on to have three more babies, namely Saint West, Chicago West, and Psalm West. They had the last two babies through surrogacy. In early 2021, the Keep Up with the Kardashians star filed for divorce, and in November 2022, the divorce was finalized with the Carnival singer and was ordered to pay $200,000 in monthly child support.

Everything seemed to be going alright as West moved on with Bianca Censori, who is a designer for his brand Yeezy. However, things seemed to have taken a turn as an insider has recently claimed to In Touch that West has asked for financial help from Kardashian.

It’s put him in the humiliating position of needing to actually ask Kim to give him a break and help him out. Having to admit to her that things are not as great as he likes to pretend is rock bottom for him, the only thing lower is going broke, so he’s had to humble himself and ask her for help.

This truly is a blow to his ego, especially since he used to be among the wealthiest musical artists. In 2021, Deadline reported his net worth to be $1.8 billion. That obviously changed after Adidas terminated their partnership although the Yeezy shoes were the best-selling product at the time.

Kanye West Reportedly Did Not Let Adidas Dropping Him Affect His Lifestyle at First

Losing the Adidas deal not only cost West his billionaire status but also a huge part of his net worth as Forbes reported that without the partnership with the German brand, the rapper was net worth would be only $400 million.

Despite this, the Gold Digger singer continued to live his lavish lifestyle and remained unaffected. The source told In Touch:

At first, he didn’t let it affect his spending habits, if anything he spent more to prove he could, but it’s now gotten to the point where he’s got no choice but to make some cutbacks, like flying coach instead of private jets.

In early June, a TikTok video showed that Ye and Censori were traveling on a commercial flight. Hopefully, the singer will recover from this soon.
