Kanye West is back on X, and you will never guess what happened next.

West, now known as YE, the famous rapper and defender of Bitcoin, posted a screenshot on Friday where unidentified contact contacted you, offering him two million dollars to promote a fraudulent “currency”.

I was proposed $ 2 million to defraud my community which remained no and I stopped working with their person who offered it pic.twitter.com/wkhdp9fkoq

– Ye (@Kanyewest) February 7, 2025

You will get $ 750,000 in advance as part of the proposed agreement, and an additional $ 1.25 million paid 16 hours after putting online on X.

Part of the agreement was that the promotional position must remain active for eight hours. The contact also asked him to publish “my account was hacked, the position was not me” after the eight hour window.

The message finished with the declaration that the company requesting this promotion “will scam the public on tens of millions of dollars”.

Ye said he had refused the offer of $ 2 million, saying that he does not stop my community. “However, his post raised questions on the truth behind the previous X account hacks targeting celebrities .

You tell me all the big accounts that are “hack” and publish a same in recent months are false ?????

Several X accounts of celebrities have been hacked to promote the solana memes pieces.

Last December, the Drake account was hacked to promote a solana -based same called $ Anita. The scam generated $ 5 million in a negotiation volume before being exposed and deleted.

You are looking to connect directly with the CEO of Coinbase “Concerning Crypto”

You have also pointed out to connect directly with the CEO of Coinbase, Brian Armstrong, “concerning the crypto”.

He published another screenshot today where he asked someone a cryptographic connection without intermediaries. It turned out that the “Crypto Connect” he was looking for was CEO of Coinbase, Brian Armstrong, and the person he sent said that he would try to get the number of Ye Armstrong.

There was no public and direct link between Ye and Armstrong before his recent attempt to contact the CEO. However, there was a known incident involving Armstrong and the presidential race of Ye over four years ago.

In October 2020, Armstrong shared a tweet describing a blog article on West vote as “Epic”. The now deleted position was written by Rob Rhinehart, the founder of Soylent, and he pleaded in favor of supporting the artist’s presidential race.

As soon as the new YE position has surfaced, members of the cryptographic community warned that it was trying to bypass the intermediaries by going directly to one. Many commentators have stressed the importance of self -sufficiency through cold wallets. Some have suggested decentralized exchanges (DEX) as a real alternative.

“You, whenever you buy bitcoin on an exchange and leave it there, exchange is the man in the middle. You don’t really have it before removing it from the exchange, “said the Bitcoin conference. “The only way to get around the” Middleman “is to buy directly from your cold wallet.”

These tweets were part of the Rafale of Tweets on Friday morning of Ye on X, his first for some time. About three messages concerned the crypto. In another article, he questioned: “When people earn all this money with a room is this species or this concept.”

Most of his other positions contained many anti -Semitic remarks, including praise for Hitler and the “I am Nazi” declaration. He also tackled other subjects, saying that his support for Sean “Diddy” Combs was “selfish” and wrongly accused Elon Musk of stolen his “Nazi swag” during the inauguration.

You have history of propagation of hate rhetoric on the platform, causing several suspensions, including one in December 2022 for anti-Semitic content.
