Kanye West tops the list of World highest paid musicians in 2020

Kanye West has been named the highest paid musician in the world, by Forbes. Forbes made it known in its recently released 2020 edition of its annual Celebrity 100 list.

West was also named the overall second highest paid celebrity. The 42 year old billionaire rapper who made $170 million in 2020 ranks at number two.

He comes behind his sister-in-law, Kylie Jenner, whose billionaire status was revoked after she was accused of faking her way to her billionaire status over claims she inflated her personal wealth and forged her tax returns.

According to the magazine, West is now officially worth $1.3 billion. But months ago, Kanye slammed Forbes because he was unhappy with their research and findings.

He said that he believes his net worth will be around $3.3 billion and not the $1.26 billion they estimated at that time.

'It's not a billion,' West texted the publication. 'It's $3.3 billion since no one at Forbes knows how to count.'

Kim K and Kanye West threaten ex bodyguard with lawsuit

Hollywood power couple, Kanye West and Kim Kardashian West have reportedly threatened their former bodyguard, Steve Stanulis with a 'cease and desist' letter.

They said that they will sue him if he continues making statements about the couple in the media.

As reported by TMZ, the West's 'cease and desist letter' alleged that Stanulis broke a confidentiality agreement he signed with the couple after he made explosive claims about Kanye West last month, claiming that the rapper made him stand yards away from him while protecting him.

Stanulis also claimed in the Podcast last month that Kanye had a meltdown on the first day he started working for him. 

He said, "Kanye was 'one of my least favorite people to work with over the course of time'".

According to documents obtained by TMZ, Kim, 39, and Kanye, 42, fired Stanulis in 2016, but Stanulis signed an agreement in February 2016 that prohibited him from speaking about any personal or business-related information about Kim and Kanye. 

TMZ reports that Kanye had already warned Stanulis in 2016 to avoid talking about him or his family.
