Did Kanye West sell his X account for $17M? Crypto scam fears flood social media

An X user took to the platform and wrote, “We already know for a fact that Kanye sold his account to some serial scamming crypto nerd. If you still take anything that comes from that account seriously you should probably cease to exist.”

Everything before Feb. 23, 2025, has been archived or deleted on Ye’s X account leaving only posts about Crypto and Nazis. The first post shared said, “This account will be the first to reveal the contract address of Kanye West memecoin.”

Moreover, the posts are receiving minimal engagement in terms of likes, comments, and reposts showcasing the account’s confusing state. It remains unclear whether the American rapper sold his X account, as he is known for frequently going on social media rants while often deleting his socials.

This all comes in after the American rapper was recently spotted in public wearing a white t-shirt with a Nazi swastika on it, the same item he put up for purchase on his YEEZY online store for $20, as part of landing an ad during the latest Super Bowl.

The American rapper found himself in hot water since the 2025 Grammy Awards when several sources claimed that he reportedly forced his wife, Bianca Censori to strip almost naked at the renowned event. Ye then went on an anti-Semitic social media rant, while praising Nazi Germany and its leader Adolf Hitler.

He was also sued by his former Jewish employee who claimed that the rapper allegedly threatened her because of her faith and likened himself to Hitler during the incident. During her statement, Ye’s former employee added that she was fired the day after.

Since then, his X account has been getting deleted and coming back but with minimal followers and engagement due to its questionable content.
