kanye going to russia and getting bailed out of debt with no link to any financier/oligarch or banking institution is just lazy narration.

not only is it lazy...its nonsensical when you look at the evidence we *do* have available.

he was reportedly about $50 mil in debt (even tho this was never confirmed...he just said it). now hes reportedly worth over a billion. and thats overwhelmingly made up of his estimated yeezy/adidas stake. $50 mil is a fraction of that (1/20). he personally earned an estimated $150 mil alone last year from that deal.

so thats how he went from $50 mil in debt to a billionaire. all of this is pretty public and out in the open lol.

its not like hes running some sketchy operation. its one of the most high profile apparel partnerships in the world.

but being bailed out by shady russians doesnt sound as exciting as being bailed out by sneaker sales i guess.
