Kanye West’s name has become synonymous with controversy these days, with the rapper at times being involved in activities that can shock people. Now, his lawyer claims that Yeezy has disappeared like a ghost. Not only is he allegedly refusing to communicate, but the lawyer claims that an outstanding legal bill has not been paid. This comes after news broke a few days ago that the Yeezy owner was visiting Moscow, which has not yet been officially confirmed.

Kanye West is reportedly facing financial troubles
The Vulture rapper, who faced cancellations and losing endorsements from several brands due to his anti-Semitic rap controversy, is reportedly facing financial difficulties. He was recently spotted flying in economy class with his wife. The 47-year-old rapper has reportedly approached his ex-wife Kim Kardashian for help following his dispute with Adidas.
“Kanye is spending his savings at an alarming rate, and it’s starting to take a toll on his bank balance,” a source told InTouch.
The new developments come just days after West was sued by a former Yeezy employee earlier this month, accusing his management of making racist comments. The employees have also alleged that West’s wife, Bianca Censori, distributed pornographic material to the team that was accessible to underage individuals while they were working on Yeezy’s latest venture, “Yeezy Porn.” Censori vehemently denied these claims in a statement provided to Page Six.
