Kanye West and Kim Kardashian Took a Charitable L
It’s been a tough couple of months for Kanye West. First, he lost fans when siding with Donald Trump on Twitter. Next, he declared “slavery was a choice.” Then, Drake put him in his place. Now, he’s being called out by his former friend over a charity named after West’s mother.
Following Drake invoicing Kanye for $100,000, Rhymefest asked Drake to use that money to help Donda’s House charity.
This didn’t sit well with Kanye’s wife, Kim Kardashian.
U haven’t been right since u got kicked out of the studio in Hawaii wearing fake Yeezy’s @RHYMEFEST 😂 You’re over levergenging Kanye’s name & asked Kanye to donate money to u so stop w your fake community politics & lies. Truth is you haven’t been able to sustain the foundation

I saw you at our studio a few weeks ago so why didn’t you bring this up then @RHYMEFEST ? You were trying to get Kanye to listen to your sub par beats. You have the audacity to use Kanye’s mom name to try to shead a negative light on Kanye.

You didn’t say this when Kanye paid you up front then you disappeared during Pablo #RealFriends @RHYMEFEST

You better believe I will make it my mission to take Donda’s House from you and let my children run it the way it should be run! @RHYMEFEST

Rhymefest responded without taking any personal shots.
“How can you criticize an organization that you’ve never physically been to OR that you’ve never even talked to the Executive Director or any of the team.
“At this point, if you and Kanye want us to dissolve the organization so that you can do the work, we welcome that.”
Donda’s House announced they would no longer use the name associated with Kanye and Kim.

This seemed to put Kim in her place and had her tweeting with a bit more rationality.
Kanye and Donda started a charity called Loop Dreams. When Donda passed, they changed the name to Donda’s House. Kanye paid Rhymefest a salary to run it.

After several years of lack of performance from the organization and Kanye going through personal financial issues, he could no longer fund salaries. Rhymefest asked to take it over and Kanye agreed with no financial strings attached.

Kanye gave his “friend” an opportunity to run an organization on his own. So now that Kanye is being publicly shamed for not being involved makes no sense and, at this exact time, just seems very calculated.

I have and will always applaud any efforts to give back to the community. To fight for justice and to help uplift the youth. But I will never tolerate someone who was close to Kanye who attempts to use his late mother’s name to publicly shame him while pretending to do good.

Kanye hasn’t chimed in on the controversy while Kim has moved on to promoting her fragrance. Maybe she’ll send some bottle to the youth of Chicago to show she does charity work.
As for Kanye, this album better be on the level of College Dropout.
