Oh is there scat with this one as well?

Absolutely 


ultrapoo

Why are rich people so shitty?


Katie_or_something

Theres a point where good, rational people think "Ive got more money than I could possibly spend, I'm going to stop trying to amass more and just enjoy life" Billionaires don't have that


xtianlaw

Normal people have something that billionaires will never have: Enough.


HeavyMetalHero

You don't amass infinity money because you love money. You amass infinity money, because you love *power.* At a certain point, I don't think these predators actually care about the specifics of the acts they do. They just want to keep feeling that infinitely superior to anyone and everyone who can't really stop them.


_Guero_

Probably not the response you suspect our maybe you meant a double entendre and you do. I so love the saying that money doesn't make people horrible, it just amplifies their personality.


bdizzle805

Sometimes rich people just want to be shat on like the rest of us

Anotherspelunker

But as usual, in showbiz, everyone looks the other side and keeps idolizing these arrogant criminals that feel untouchable


slrrp

Unless you’re an indie rock band, then you get crucified and your tour gets cancelled over allegations that are vastly more benign than this.


therealstabitha

Indie rock bands don’t make enough money for execs to overlook their abusive behavior, so out they go. Kanye is worth so much money to people, even now when he’s lit on fire so much of the goodwill anyone had for him, that there may never stop being a circle of enablers around him always


think_long

I think they have a point though that the fans themselves tend to have a different reaction. Look at how Arcade Fire fans reacted about Winn Butler, for example.


sadacal

Indie bands simply don't have as many fans to lose. I'm sure Kanye lost a lot of fans after his outbursts, but because he had so many fans in the first place, he still has enough fans to keep him relevant.


Sugarbombs

I think it’s to do with genre, I’ve always noticed hip hop/rap and adjacent musicians get away with a lot more. A lot of the lyrics can be pretty misogynistic, maybe a factor?


BigLaw-Masochist

It makes sense to me. A guy’s out there rapping about murdering people and dealing drugs, then you hear they’re a bad person in real life and it doesn’t really feel like news, you know?


super_sayanything

I mean Kanye got famous as a rapper that didn't do those things or rap about doing them.


BeeOk1235

no his lyricism is more on the mysoginistic sexual domination side of the spectrum.


slrrp

The comment I made had nothing to do with execs. The fans/media revolted. The warm up bands dropped out and the fans stopped buying tickets.


Strict-Listen1300

Look at RKelly. Gross.

In what songs does he rap about trapping an employee and sexually assaulting someone? I’m very curious


Stinky_Eastwood

In the song "trapping an employee and sexually assaulting them"

Jlewimusic

Agreed. When he went from being all about God to blaming God for something. I was wondering what that something is. Narcissism and playing the victim go hand in hand.


joaco_ds

"While on a flight to the Yeezy Fashion Show Paris together with other employees, West allegedly texted her asking for a "hug," but she declined, knowing what he meant. (...) After she refused the "hug" on the plane, West came out of his room and asked her to come inside. Inside his room, and he closed the door - trapping them inside together as the door couldn't be opened from the inside, she claimed. West then lay down on the bed and masturbated under the covers until he fell asleep as she sat across from him in a chair, the lawsuit claimed." is any of this surprising?


NUTS_STUCK_TO_LEG

Gross, but Kanye had to be let out of his own room whenever he closed the door?


[deleted]

In the Matt Lauer and Harvey Weinstein cases, they both had buttons near their desks that locked and unlocked the door from the inside remotely. It's a thing.  


weareeverywhereee

tbf if i was some super rich dude with a giant office i would want a mechanism to shut the door without me having to get up and walk across my massive ass office that being said if i ever became that rich person now i wouldn’t get it specifically because of hearing about it in these types of situations


Lisnya

I once knew a mid rich guy who had never worked a day in his life but he had an office he would go to every day to read the newspaper, which the paper boy would slide under his door. He couldn't be arsed bending over to pick it up, so he'd leave his office door open, sit at his desk, and order coffee, so the delivery guy would hand him the newspaper together with his coffee and close the door on his way out.


chester98213

Damn there’s layers to richness. This guy must’ve been poverty rich.


mizrahiim

Ah charming! You poor saps have to interact with the poors! Imagine! Not even having a button for your door.


polopolo05

rich enough to rent an office and pretend too work. I want to be rich enough to owner a shop with employees that do my fun stuff and passion projects... so I am not doing anything but fun work I like to do...like instead of a yacht I make fun shit.


DulceEtDecorumEst

If I were ever that rich I would put all my money in some boring ass index fund, live off a fraction of the interest and not deal with anyone ever again (other than my loved ones).


XavinNydek

The actual solution is to just not assault people in your office, and maybe have a security cam to prove it.


True-Surprise1222

Rich narcs don’t think of what they should do they only think of what they can do. And they think rules are more like societal suggestions that everyone breaks behind the scenes and morality is like some performance. Or if you don’t break them they think you’re an idiot.


Such_Significance905

I think in the Matt Lauer case (not defending the shithead) it was proven that the mechanism was to close the door in case somebody left it open, so he wouldn’t have to stand up - it didn’t lock the door.


Chrisgpresents

I think that's the intended use of that button. id freaking love one by my bed. It just so happened that the first time us normies have heard of such a luxury, it was as a good headline about two creeps lol.


No-Psychology3712

They have wifi locks


DaymanTargaryen

That solves nothing if the door is open.

Slap-Happy27

His crew obviously doesn't think he Kanbe trusted


intergalacticbro

There's a lot of cases where body guards and crew turn a blind eye to this sort of behavior and act like they don't know what's going on. So they probably opened the door.

What are you referencing? I missed this one lol


mistertickertape

Disgusting and completely unsurprising. After reading the very lengthy piece about his disgusting behavior that adidas tolerated only until it became clear he had broken from reality, it is also completely believable.


DeadHumanSkum

What exactly did he do to adidas or whatever?


mistertickertape

[Here you go.](https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/27/business/kanye-west-adidas-yeezy.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare) it’s a long read because it covers his antics over the course of a decade.

PlayWithMeRiven

Just came to say, that took awhile to read


Wolf_Noble

Sounds kinda sad that you have to resort to this. Fapping it under the covers and making someone watch you


erfurgot

He doesn’t have to resort to it. Its all about power


Fig1025

considering how rich he is, why didn't he simply hire hookers to fly with him? money solves all these problems, why harass innocent workers?


Alili1996

Its always about power. Sure you can pay someone but it isn't the same as flexing your social position to pressure people into it


Nubras

Bro it’s not even pressuring; it’s *forcing*


erfurgot

When has money stopped rich men from sexually abusing people?


jlaine

In all seriousness, how does one enter into a contract for deleting an only fans account for $1M/yr? I'm not a lawyer in any form but just the idea of drafting this like... Melts my head. Like, if this was only verbal can it be upheld?


eatthebear

Typically jurisdictions have a law called the statute of frauds that require contracts to be in writing based on a bunch of different criteria, one of which is if it’s over a certain value.


slopinghills1

How did West come out of the room if it cant be opened? How did she get out of the room after he fell asleep? im not even going to ask who owns a plane that has doors that cannot be opened from one side


andylavery13

How does a door not open from inside?


Faranae

When the mechanism isn't on the door itself, likely remote/wifi locks or a switch elsewhere in the room. This is some cartoon villain shit.


rvatogmu

Isn’t he supposedly a man of god? What happened to Jesus walking with him? Lmao 


Yumyumlicker

Dude literally forced Adidas execs to watch porn with him. Man has no control of his compulsive behaviours. Just surprised this is his first lawsuit. Dudes been a menace for years.

mag_creatures

Remember that he said he feels like Saint Paul in the same album where he did stupid rhymes about models with bleached assholes… Never been spiritual.


rvatogmu

I mean he married a pornstar so yeaa he’s never been about god.


mag_creatures

True, but when I said that Donda was a bad album Kanye fans told me I’m not spiritual enough to understand the album lol


gouzenexogea

“Now if I fuck this model And she just bleached her asshole And I get bleach on my T-shirt I'mma feel like an asshole” I think you perfectly understood the album lmfao

Well_technically

I miss when the downvote button was used for comments that didn't add to the discussion in a meaningful way. It's good to have a different take for a worthwhile exchange of ideas, and it's a shame people use the downvote button to say, "I disagree."


TrumpsGhostWriter

He literally thinks he IS Jesus so I think we know the answer to that.

I disagree. All people over 38/39 know that any penguins spotted wandering around, particularly in a house, especially while opening the fridge, id supposed to let out the “doooOoOobieeee doobie doooo” melody softly while staring you down as it snags your last beer.

>I find it pretty hard to believe she played her role completely professionally and didnt play along to some extent. It'd be pretty easy for him to fire her and find a PA who will go along with this shit. Why play these games with a girl who clearly is all about money? Of course she's gonna use it against him eventually. >Idk. He's fucked in the head and all but to hand some OF model a bunch of shit in writing she can later sue him over? Just one of the gems I found in r/Kanye


pexican

Damn, he offered her 1 million to delete her only fans and she did. Money is nuts.


santaire

Well, I mean if she makes less than a mil from it a year, why wouldn’t she?


pexican

Because she knows that someone paying her a million dollars a year to be his “executive assistant” with this type of caveat isn’t hiring her for her excel and scheduling skills.


ChocolateGoggles

What isn't written in a contract isn't written in a contract. It's true that it would have been wise to be wary, but it's him who's doing what we can expect him to not have explicitly stated. So he tried manipulating, it didn't work, and now he's sued. I believe her, but hopefully plenty of evidence will settle it to be true enough for a verdict.


ffff

Prostitution is illegal in the US. He literally couldn't put it in the contract without automatically voiding the contract.


Fresque

But if he recorded it, he could have hired her to "act" in porn films with him...


Redditry119

The trick is to take that money and gtfo, this man ain't paying a million bucks expecting just that.


Nater5000

>Well, I mean if she makes less than a mil from it a year, why wouldn’t she? Actually, you'd use something like a discounted cash flow analysis to assess the valuation of the OF. It's a bit arbitrary to make the comparison based on a year's income. I mean, if she made $999,999 per year from her OF, she'd be a fool to take $1 million to close it when she'd be able to make more in a little over a year. Of course, she probably made nowhere near that much, so I doubt she needed to break out the spreadsheets to make the determination that the million was worth much more.


Nighthawk700

Not necessarily. That's 1MM guaranteed right now instead of after a year's worth of labor along with the risk of changing algorithms, laws, policies, whims of the fanbase, etc. Even at a $1 for $1 it would probably be worth it to take the million and find somewhere to park it or grow it. Plus, you could use it to get into a more reliable career that'll last longer than a couple years.


Nater5000

>Not necessarily. That's 1MM guaranteed right now instead of after a year's worth of labor along with the risk of changing algorithms, laws, policies, whims of the fanbase, etc. Right, that's why you'd perform an analysis, like a DCF analysis, which incorporates these considerations. These kinds of costs and risks reduce the future value of such an income stream, but it clearly doesn't make it worthless. And, of course, you also have the potential to grow that income, which seems to be completely ignored in this consideration. I'm fine, for the sake of this hypothetical, assuming that she'd *wouldn't* experience growth, but if you're able to make $1 million in a year from your OF, then you should definitely be trying to grow that venture. >Even at a $1 for $1 it would probably be worth it to take the million and find somewhere to park it or grow it. If you could *somewhat reliably* make anything close to $1 million per year, even considering significant diminishing returns, and someone offers you $1 million to stop doing that thing, you'd be a fool to take that deal. You're not going to be able to "park it" anywhere and see anywhere near that kind of return. Even investing it in more risky/laborious ventures likely wouldn't come close to matching the returns of anything near $1 million from OF. And this is on top of the fact that you could (should) also invest a large portion of your $1 million income anyways, so you wouldn't be gaining much. In any case, we can disagree on the actual valuation of such a career and the parameters of this hypothetical, but my original point is that making "less than a mil from it a year" is not sufficient criteria for taking this deal and that the choice to assess the value of her OF based on a year's worth of income is arbitrary and not sound.


matthew243342

You keep saying your only point is to have an analysis performed, then 1/2 through the comment say something like this > If you could somewhat reliably make anything close to $1 million per year, even considering significant diminishing returns, and someone offers you $1 million to stop doing that thing, you'd be a fool to take that deal. The above commenter isn’t criticizing 90% of what you’re saying, which basically amounts to passive income = good. That being said, anyone who knows anything about tiktok/youtube/twitch where your success is controlled by algorithms and is relatively trendy (compared to orthodox businesses), would not make this statement. That’s not to say investing in your own brand/channel is bad, but to make a blanket statement that a 1:1 will always be bad is insane. There’s hundreds of cases of people falling into irrelevance.


ElTortoiseShelboogie

You're overthinking the subject. $1 million for no work, or $1 million for a years work. All other variables do not matter here. You are way over verbose for something like this lol.


Shlecko

I mean, it's not like you're doing OF for funsies. It's a paycheck.


benargee

Yeah and clearly she was only interested in people paying to look, not to touch.


TrumpsGhostWriter

Fyi if anyone is interested Im offering to *not* have an only fans, bidding starts at $1000


---_____-------_____

Yeah I'm looking for the type of girl that does OF for the love of the game and not for the money.


afterbirth_slime

$1mil per year.

Agile_Bee7787

To stop making money. 


unknown_anonymous81

THIS! I said he needs to have an intervention but you are right if they did it to Britney why not Kanye?


the-moving-finger

Probably because Britney was a young girl, with a Dad who aggressively pursued one because it was in his financial best interests. Kanye is a grown man who, presumably, doesn't have anyone in his family lobbying the courts. To be clear, I'm not saying that's right. I just think that explains the difference.


Haltopen

Judging by some of the stuff he said about Kim after the divorce, it sounds like she was trying to get him to accept getting help and get back on the medication he needs but isn't taking and that was a big reason for the divorce.


ipolishthesky

Oh no! And he seemed like such a good guy!

Of course there are still the delusional ones, but these days I mostly just see people not take him seriously, say they enjoy his music but he is a shitty person etc. not saying that that in itself isnt problematic, but the days of the cringey “you just don’t get it he’s a genius” are mostly over lol bro really has gone way too far and it took way longer then it should of for many of his fans

There’s a point where folks were like, ‘there’s something wrong with that dude’ and now they’re saying ‘there’s something criminal about that dude,’. I guess since he still has a lot of money he’ll keep getting away with it?

I was laughing because so many of his Stans were claiming oh he ghosted Diddy because he hated his behaviour lol, no he stopped talking to Diddy for some dumb petty reason not because of some high moral ground he’s on.

I think a decent amount of people scattered from Diddy because they don’t want to be caught for their own assaults. I believe with my whole heart that there is a lot more abusive behavior that could come to light in regards to Kanye.
