Kanye West Explains Why The Feds Were Trying To Put Him In Prison

Kanye West recently appeared on the Timcast IRL podcast with his new buddy, white supremacist Nick Fuentes and British alt-right political commentator Milo Yiannopoulos.

At one point of the discussion, Ye said that he was being hounded by the IRS for owing $50 million in back taxes, and they put a $75 million hold on his account. [Jump to the 12:58 mark]

“I’m talking about literally finding out that they were trying to put me in prison this morning,” he said. “But I found out  ... So they froze, they put a $75 million hold on four of my accounts ... And then they said, you owe a lot of taxes. Took me like six hours to find out how much."

Later, Ye stormed out of the interview after host Tim Pool gave pushback to all of his anti-Semitic talk, which you can see below.
