Kanye West says the IRS has put a $75 million hold on four of his ban account due to him owing $50 million in back taxes. The comment was made during West’s appearance on the right-winged podcast, “Timcast IRL,” in which Ye appeared alongside white nationalist Nick Fuentes and alt-right figure Milo Yiannopoulos. Kanye says he’s not “financially literate” and consulted with several CFOs of his businesses to see if “not paying taxes was tax evasion.” During the podcast, Kanye wondered out loud if he could run for president from jail and later walked off the podcast after he was asked about anti semitic comments he publicly made last month. Kanye is now reportedly worth $400 million, down from $1.5 billion.
