Kanye West, the controversial rapper and fashion mogul, has revealed that he was on the verge of bankruptcy after facing backlash for his antisemitic remarks last year. He also talked about his new marriage with Bianca Censori and his latest album Vultures Volume 1, which he promoted with a low-budget Super Bowl commercial.
How Kanye West Survived the Cancellation
In an interview with TMZ, West said that he was “two months from going bankrupt” after he made some offensive comments about Jewish people in a podcast. He said that he lost many deals and opportunities for his music and clothing line, and had to move to Italy to work with the factories. He said that he invested everything he had into his new album, which he described as a “comeback”.
Kanye West also said that he did not regret his words, and that he had the right to his opinion. He claimed that he was “back, No. 1” and that he had “various skill sets in music, clothing and fanbase” that helped him overcome the crisis.
Kanye West’s Super Bowl Stunt
West surprised his fans and critics with a Super Bowl commercial that aired in a few states, including Miami. The commercial featured West himself, holding a camera and saying, “Hey y’all, this is Ye, and this is my commercial. And since we spent all the money on the commercial spot, we actually didn’t spend any money on the actual commercial. But the idea is, I want you to go to yeezy.com.”
The commercial was a promotion for his new shoe line, which is part of his Yeezy brand. West said that he wanted to do something different and creative, and that he did not care about the ratings or the reviews.
Kanye West’s New Wife and Album
West also opened up about his personal life, and his marriage with Bianca Censori, whom he met on Instagram. He said that they got married in a private ceremony in December 2022, after he released his album Censori Overload, which was dedicated to her. He said that they were very happy and in love, and that they supported each other’s careers.
West’s new album, Vultures Volume 1, is a collection of songs that reflect his struggles and triumphs in the past year. He said that the album was a “masterpiece” and that he invited some people over to listen to it before he released it. He also said that the album contained some references to his relationship with Censori, and their infamous boat ride to Italy, which caused them to be banned by the boat company for inappropriate behavior.
West said that he was proud of his work and his life, and that he did not care about what people thought of him. He said that he was a “vulture” who fed on the negativity and turned it into something positive. He said that he was looking forward to his next projects and his future with Censori.
