Kanye West's 2020 election donors are under scrutiny. The Federal Election Commission (FEC) has cited several violations in its report of the rapper's presidential election campaign in 2020.
The popular musician's campaign reportedly accepted multiple donations from minors and possible contributions from foreign nationals.
Complex reports that an investigation could be launched into Kanye's unlawful fundraising practices that accumulated about $100 000 (R1 536 436) in small donations.
Daily Beast reports that Ian Bloom, 16, said he spent $3 280 on Kanye's merch. He said that he still hasn't received it in the mail. Ian ordered the merch from the campaign store and was hoping to resell it online.
"I ordered like 20 hoodies off his campaign website, along with a lot of other people that I know. They said it would be three weeks, and after that I emailed the support team, and the email just wasn’t a thing."
The publication reports that of the campaign’s 3 161 reported donations, students comprise over 1 200 of those donors. Social media users have shared mixed thoughts on Kanye's donors. Check some of their comments below:
