According to Kanye West, the fraud would have seen him promote fraud to his millions of followers, only to later claim his account was hacked. However, at that point, those who fell victim could have lost their money.

“I was proposed 2 million dollars to scam my community. Those left of it. I said no and stopped working with their person who proposed it,” Kanye West said in a viral tweet on Friday, February 7.

As proof, the rapper included a screenshot in his post revealing how promoting a “fake ye currency” was supposed to unfold.

According to the screenshot, West would get an upfront payment of $750,000 to share the crypto promotion and keep it live for 8 hours, after which he could claim his account was hacked and that he didn’t make the post.

This would be followed by a $1.25 million payout 16 hours later.
