Kanye West's rep denies his recent hospitalization is part of an insurance scam. Reports began circulating on Wednesday, November 23 that the "Famous" hitmaker went to hospital to recoup insurance money for the millions he would lose following his "Saint Pablo Tour" cancellation.
"He had just canceled for no reason, no injury, no force majeure, so they were going to lose a bunch of money," a music insider told Page Six, "Kanye is crazy, but not crazy enough to not get his insurance money. [He] knows what he is doing."
According to the insider, Kanye might have issues collecting the money despite being hospitalized. "They don't pay out easily for this kind of thing with this kind of price tag," the insider said, "I would think they would want to do an intense investigation and that this will be a disputed claim. When you're on the hook for an arena at that level - on top of money for marketing, promotion, set builds, staff on the road - it's tens of millions. It's gonna be a sticky situation."
Kanye was allegedly hospitalized to "clean up" his brand. The alleged tipster claimed, "He went too far off with the rants. It was going to alienate his core fan base. There are real business people around him, including Kris Jenner and Kim Kardashian, who want the payday. They needed to preserve the brand this way."
The report has been debunked by Kanye's rep, who says that the latest Page Six story is "ridiculous."
In other news, Kanye's former The Go Getters bandmate GLC recently took to Instagram to offer some details of what might have led the "Gold Digger" rapper down a path that had him recovering in a hospital.
"Money, power, fame is something we all want to obtain. The only thing is, when you get it... it comes with no instructions. In 07 we lost an excellent instructor in Mama West," GLC wrote, "You try to offer your friend consultation & guidance on how to deal with such a lost but as their life is moving so fast. It is often a difficult task."
"@chicagodonc & I did everything we could to try & keep the users, leeches & yes men out the circle. It gets to the point that they identify you as the problem & do all they can to keep you away, while offering no time for him to actually heal. I prayed that my buddy wouldn't get caught up in the rapture. Mama West asked us to watch over & protect her son. I love him & I sincerely apologize for letting you down. However he is on the road to recovery & we gladly receive the blessings!" he added, "Thank you to all who have sent their blessings, the Ancestors & the Absolute God!#GetWellSoonKanye #PrayForYe."
