Kanye West’s 2024 presidential hopes have gotten dealt a new blow.
A political campaign executive for the hip-hop artist and fashion designer, now formally known as Ye, has left the building after less than six months — on a possible mission to burn it all down.
In a letter filed Monday to the Federal Elections Commission (FEC), the treasurer of West’s informal 2024 presidential campaign announced his resignation. He also alleged fraud in other official documentation.
According to Politico, Patrick Krason claimed that campaign adviser Milo Yiannopoulos may have broken federal campaign finance law after he “submitted falsified invoices and for expenditures that would be deemed unlawful” in relation to Kanye’s 2020 campaign, before Krason assumed the role of treasurer.
The letter referenced an expense for a “domain transfer” for which the British right-wing personality allegedly sought reimbursement from both West’s campaign and the campaign of Georgia congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green.
In response to the allegation, Yiannopoulos told the outlet he wouldn’t “give any credence” to what he referred to as “ridiculous and easily disproven claims.”
The former editor for Breitbart News, who announced he would intern for Green’s campaign office last year, was hired as West’s “director of political operations” last week.
The “Black Skinhead” lyricist, however, has yet to formally file paperwork declaring his candidacy with the FEC.
