But there was a question that jumped into the air, and it was how much Kanye West spent on his presidential campaign, money he paid out of pocket and that he even convinced a few thousand voters to vote for him.
In this way, the rapper Kanye West had to shell out $ 12.5 million out of his own pocket in his failed bid to become the next president of the United States, according to data from the Federal Electoral Commission.
His ephemeral and controversial passage through the presidential race, which materialized through of a newly created party called “Birthday Party”, It was only able to attract two million dollars in foreign investment, as has been made clear in this official report.
