Kanye West's time on the Forbes World's Billionaires list has come to an end. According to Forbes, the rapper had lobbied for years to be included on the list and finally achieved it in 2020, but after a three-year run, he has fallen off. This comes after a series of antisemitic remarks made by West, which caused Adidas to end their partnership with him in October 2022. The lucrative Yeezy sneakers partnership made up the majority of his wealth.
The social media reactions to this news were mixed. Some were surprised to learn that billionaires lobby to be included on Forbes' list, questioning the accuracy of the reported number of billionaires. Others speculated that West tried to bankrupt himself to avoid giving his former wife any money and could do it again.
Despite the controversy, many fans remain supportive of West, with one comment reading, "You'll get back there sooner than later." It's unclear whether West will try to regain his billionaire status or if he will focus on other ventures. Regardless, it's clear that the rapper's recent actions have had a significant impact on his financial status and public image.
