In the realm of high-profile individuals, the artistic genius formerly known as Kanye West, now known as Ye, finds himself entangled in a financial symphony with the State of California.
The crescendo of unpaid taxes from his iconic clothing company, Yeezy Apparel, LLC, has reached a staggering $934,033.56 over the past three years. The latest installment, a striking $319,356.58, landed in March 2023, revealing a penalty dance of $97,063.78, accompanied by an interest waltz of $9,644.40. This fiscal ballet ensued due to neglecting business tax payments from October 2021 to March 2022.
Not merely confined to the stage of business levies, Ye’s fiscal opera extends to the realm of property taxes. Two opulent properties, once shared with his former wife Kim Kardashian, stand as silent witnesses to financial discord. The four-bedroom mansion, a testament to the celebrity duo’s union, remains untouched by property tax payments since 2021. The outstanding dues of $81,154 echo through the corridors of unpaid obligations: $26,759 for 2021, $26,781 for 2022, and $27,614 for 2023.
A second property, a three-bedroom enclave acquired for $1.6 million in 2017, stands as a singular testament to Ye’s financial tribulations. The unpaid tax bill for this abode amounts to $19,939, contributing to the grand tax concerto with a total of $101,093 across both properties.
Yet, in the symphony of financial complexities, Ye’s unreleased masterpiece, “Vultures,” remains a lingering note of potential redemption. Collaborating with Ty Dolla $ign, the album has faced multiple delays, leaving fans eagerly anticipating its release. As the curtains rise and fall on this fiscal drama, the controversial fashion designer’s financial orchestration awaits its resolution.
