Kanye West is finally paying the price for his antisemitic comments and has been dropped from the Forbes billionaires list; however, his loyal fans insist that they can get him back on the list.
According to several reports, a GoFundMe page named "Make Kanye West a Billionaire Again" was launched by his supporters as an attempt to get him back on the list; and since then several other pages with the same goal has popped up.
This comes after German sportswear brand Adidas dropped the rapper, along with other brands like Balenciaga and GAP.
After Adidas severed its ties with West, his net worth dropped to $400 million, reports say.

Reactions
It comes as no surprise that people were not pleased with the GoFundMe page set up for the rapper, noting that there are better causes that people can donate to instead of helping out a former billionaire.
"We will be donating for those who are really in need, definitely not him," wrote a Twitter user.
"Just because he's not a billionaire that doesn't mean he has $0 he still definitely got 750+ mil, [sic]" another pointed out.
I cannot believe people are creating GoFundMe fundraisers for Kanye West! Why not feed the poor, homeless, elderly or Veterans? Why raise money for a POS who spreads antisemitic rhetoric? SMH! Where is your compassion for people who could really use & deserve the help?

"OMG please stop raising money for Kanye West, he doesn't give a damn about you, you're giving him your money that you worked hard for. Couldn't believe it when I saw that people are starting GoFundMe accounts to get him back his billions of dollars that he lost, [sic]" another raged.
Others decided to launch their own GoFundMe pages, but with a little twist. The West haters decided to launch their own pages with the intent to make themselves billionaires as well.
Although it might bring a little bit of comfort to the haters to know that the GoFundMe pages for West, in fact, did not perform well.
According to reports, none of the pages raised more than $25. In addition to that, GoFundMe took down these pages.
Page Six reports that several sources noted that West could face a financial crisis in the coming months after his offensive comments.
Aside from his dire financial situation, a documentary about the rapper was scrapped by MRC.
He was also condemned by several figures in the industry, including Endeavor's CEO, Ari Emanuel.
"Those who continue to do business with West are giving his misguided hate an audience. There should be no tolerance anywhere for West's anti-Semitism," wrote Emanuel in a statement.
"Throughout history some have used their public platform to spew the plague out loud and spread the contagion to dangerous effect. Kanye is the latest to do so, and we're seeing how his words embolden others to amplify their vile beliefs," wrote Jeremy Zimmer, CEO of UTA.
