🤑 How Much Was Kanye West Offered to Promote a Scam Meme Coin?

Kanye West just revealed that someone offered him $2 million just to pretend he was hacked, helping pump the price of a scam meme coin on Solana.

⚠️ Specifically, the team behind the YE meme coin wanted Ye to post a promotional ad on social media for $750,000. Then, they would pay him an additional $1.25 million if he later claimed his account was hacked, deleted the post, and denied any involvement. The only condition? The post had to stay up for at least 8 hours before disappearing.

Celebrity endorsements can have a huge impact on crypto markets. It's concerning to see attempts to manipulate prices through deceptive tactics. Transparency and authenticity are crucial in the crypto world.
