He now wants to change his name to show people that it is not bad to call yourself rich.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, he told the crowd:
“When people say it’s crass to call yourself a billionaire, I say I might legally change my name to Christian Genius Billionaire Kanye West for a year until y’all understand exactly what it is.”
West added:
“When I did Forbes, I showed them a $890m (£695m) receipt and they still didn’t say ‘billionaire’. They don’t want us to know that we can buy land, they don’t want us to have the 100% ownership [that] I have at Yeezy.”
