But one of the best efforts so far comes in the shape of this GoFundMe page, which is aiming to raise the cash to allow the rapper to settle his debts once and for all.
The page, set up by graphic designer Jeremy Piatt, implores people to open ‘their hearts and wallets’ to help Kanye, adding: ‘Sure, he is personally rich and can buy furs and houses for his family, but without our help the true genius of Kanye West can’t be realised.
‘As Kanye West has told us time and time again he is the “greatest living artist and greatest artist of all time”,’ he adds.
‘To quote Mr. West, “I am Warhol. I am the number one most impactful artist of our generation. I am Shakespeare in the flesh. Walt Disney. Nike. Google. Now who’s gonna be the Medici family and stand up and let me create more!”
Piatt has also insisted that all the money raised is sent directly to Kanye – while saying that the page also has another aim.
‘The goal for the page is to raise awareness for supporting the arts, of course I hope that Kanye finds out about it because the money can not be transferred to him, unless that happens,’ he told Mashable.
That said, it could take some time to raise the $53m the rapper needs to be debt-free – given that when we accessed the page it had raised just $279 from 45 donations.
Still, even if that doesn’t work Kanye could perhaps save himself a bit of cash elsewhere – with this company, Magic Freebies, offering him a whole load of stuff for precisely no money.
Yup, a quick visit here could get him some complimentary calming tea, whitening toothpaste, Tena pads (erm…) and even free restaurant vouchers so he can take Kim to Harvester (actually we thought he was more of a Nando’s fan but anyway…)
So with all this help coming in from all sides we reckon there’s hope for the rapper and his financial woes yet…
