Kanye West's Funds Are Allegedly Kicked Out Of JP Morgan Chase Bank With No Explanation

Kanye West has been under fire lately for a string of comments he made on social media as well as his choice to wear a t-shirt that says "white lives matter" on the back. Conservative pundit Candace Owens shared a series of tweets on Wednesday that showed an alleged message from JP Morgan Chase to Kanye informing him that he must find a different place to house his funds.

The internet erupted when rapper and billionaire entrepreneur Kanye West wore a "white lives matter" t-shirt next to his friend Candace Owens. Kanye has also posted a series of photos and text message screenshots to his Instagram criticizing the Kardashians and other celebrities who have responded negatively to his "white lives matter" top. On Twitter, he shared some thoughts on Jewish people that resulted in a suspension.

"I'm a bit sleepy tonight but when I wake up I'm going death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE. The funny thing is I actually can't be Anti Semitic because black people are actually Jew also You guys have toyed with me and tried to black ball anyone whoever opposes your agenda," he wrote. Not long after he tweeted this, he was locked out of both his Instagram and Twitter accounts.

Kanye West's Funds Are Allegedly Kicked Out of JP Morgan Chase Bank With No Explanation

Last week, Kanye was a guest on Tucker Carlson's show on Fox News, where he spoke out against abortion, revealed that the Kardashians have close ties to the Clinton family, and opened up about the backlash he received for supporting former President Donald Trump. He has since faced an onslaught of negative feedback and intense criticism, many people also citing his struggles with mental illness in the past.

However, it seems that he is facing serious consequences for speaking his mind. Candace shared a Twitter thread with the news that JP Morgan Chase bank has allegedly shut down Kanye's bank accounts with no reasonable explanation. She posted a screenshot of the email that Kanye apparently received from Chase.

"We are sending this letter to confirm our recent discussion with [name blacked out] that JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the "Bank") has decided to end its banking relationship with Yeezy, LLC and its affiliated entities," the letter read. The end of the letter requested that Kanye transfer his business to another financial institution before November 21.

"Earlier today I learned that @kanyewest was officially kicked out of JP Morgan Chase bank. I was told there was no official reason given, but they sent this letter as well to confirm that he has until late November to find another place for the Yeezy empire to bank," Candace tweeted. "I have blacked out the names of the other two people on his team that are named in this letter to protect their privacy. As I gather my thoughts about this, I want to say that I do not care what you think about Ye West— but I very much care what you think about this."

Candace went on to say that "we have reached extremely frightening times in this country" and that she'll be gathering her thoughts on this in order to give her full response soon.

On Wednesday, Candace's new documentary "The Greatest Lie Ever Sold" was premiered in Nashville and Kanye was in attendance (along with Kid Rock, Ray J, and Colby Covington). The film reviews the Black Lives Matter corporation, how it raised nearly $80 million in donations, and spent most of that money buying mansions, hiring friends and family members, and giving money away to transgender non-profits. Kanye walked the red carpet with Candace in support of her mission.

Kanye has yet to speak out himself about his funds being kicked out of Chase bank.
