Kanye West confused about banks, Apple Pay, and FCC
As part of his candidacy for President, Kanye West is demanding that the FCC needs to investigate his bank after Adidas allegedly "froze his money," and disabled his Apple Pay.
According to West, after Adidas cut off business with him, they managed to freeze his money by petitioning JP Morgan Chase to do so. After finding that his Apple Pay didn't work, repeatedly, he said he looked into why.
Reportedly, Adidas put a $75 million hold on four of his bank accounts. This, in turn, likely caused Apple Pay to not work because of a lack of funds.
Bizarrely enough, West claimed this was the reason he'd be running for president -- again.
"The reason why I'm announcing that I'm running for President is I want the FCC to look at my money. If the FCC was looking at my money, there would be a possibility that Adidas wouldn't have went into JP Morgan Chase and froze my account and put a $75 million hold on four different accounts," West told RadarOnline.
Even if his claims are true about Adidas clawing back money from the bank, it's not clear who exactly West is referring to in his bid for the Presidency. While West claims that he wants the FCC -- the Federal Communications Commission -- to look into the matter, they can't help.
The matter would likely not fall under the Federal Trade Commission either. Most likely, if the bank is acting improperly -- and it's not clear that they are -- it would fall under the purview of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) that regulates national banks.

The problem with catering to mentally ill individuals with wealth is there are rarely any people in their lives that aren't simply out for their money. Besides West and Hughes, another prominent example is Sarah Winchester. That house is very close to Apple's HQ.

On the other side of the spectrum, but still the same catalyst, is when predatory people with power and wealth are being protected by others for personal gain. R. Kelly comes to mind. This shit doesn't happen in a vacuum.

Same as Andrew Tate - can't listen to him because he's a misogynist.
Just ask Avicii.
To everyone thinking he is mentally unstable - what I don't understand is that you repeat this claim, which is made in the media, but you do not check if it is actually true.
There are many 1 hour+ podcasts online where Ye recently spoke with people. Like in the last month.
In these hours, Kanye comes across as someone who is a genius. Most people don't understand what he's saying because he's so far ahead, and because he picks up so much that people are oblivious about.
You can agree or disagree with what he is saying but there is no question he is sharp and awake.
When he was on Rogan, that was different, he was still pumped full of drugs that time. He was near death. But now, he's alive and aware. A truth speaker if there ever was one. Unlike other people he is not intimidated, and he doesn't back down.
As for the banks where people here question whether they can turn off his money - look into Andrew Tate's story.
Andrew Tate, regardless if you think he's a douche or a top G, had all his bank accounts, twitter, IG, Facebook, even AirBnB shut down, all on the same day. I researched this and as it turns out the USA has a "ministry of truth" kind of department which works with all these parties to classify and suppress "misinformation". Just like in George Orwell's 1984. The agency came into existence after Trump won in 2016, and it coordinates big tech, government, mainstream media, and - apparently -also banks.
As for whether he was Lucid on Rogan's podcast, I wouldn't know, but along with your ministry of truth claims that tells me everything I need to know about your perception of reality. Lay off the conspiracy theory shit and start living in reality, man.
oh right… it went bankrupt after a few months
"Y'all are gonna do what I tell you when I'm in charge" is the antithesis of democracy and we need to ensure that this sort of attitude gets held in check.
