Kanye West sued for being poor

May 10th, 2006 // 108 Comments

kanye_west_car_sued.jpgKanye West was sued last Friday for missing thousands of dollars of lease payments on a 2003 Mercedes G500. DaimerChrysler Financial Services filed the suit and is asking for $53,747 in damages along with accrued payments, interest and late fees.

The biggest mystery here is why Kanye West has to lease a car when he has roughly a bajillion dollars. With that kind of money he can just buy wherever he wants to go and have it shipped to his house. Well not really, but how cool would that be? Too cool for school, that’s who. Wait. What?

    What’s the mystery about why Kanye would have to lease a car? The answer is obvious, George Bush doesn’t care about black people, that’s why…
    I know for sure that’s the reason I’m driving a 1995 Ford Taurus anyway.

    I distinctly remember him blathering on about his penchant for porn… that stuff gets expensive.

    If you’re spending so much time and money “punching the clown” that you can’t make your car payments, you very well may have a problem.

    Doesn’t the dealership know that modern-day reincarnations of Jesus Christ are exempt from earthly, human things like lease payments and financial accountability?
    I can’t wait til Our Holy Kanye calls them greedy lost souls out in his next joint.

    Did he lease a 3 year-old car, or did it seriously take them this long to litigate? Don’t they give a lot of those cars to people, just so that they’ll be seen in them?

    Damages? Like that actually hurt MBUSA? Muthafuckers. Tryin’ to keep a black man down. Blame it on the Germans.

    You know the saying, “you give a man an inch, he’ll take a mile. You give a black man an inch, and he’ll steal a flat screen of the back of a truck and load it into a stolen car full of crack and 40′s.”

    He probably crashed that one aswell and was too busy experiencing a life-changing epiphany to make the payments. I’m sure he’ll tell us ALL about it in his next 600 albums

    Kayne’s not racist. Pam Anderson was in that video where he was Evel Knevel and Anna Nicole was in that workout video. Yes, I’m a fan, shoot me.

    Aren’t we being a little hard on this guy. I mean, Anna Nicole Smith said he was “a freakin’ genius.”

    And surely Anna knows genius when she sees it. Just the other day she was seen telling a rock that it was “a freakin’ genius.”

    #20 – He DID get the lease on the Mercedes. That’s the whole point of the story. Way to make it case-specific! The third thing is a job. Frickin’ idiot. I fucking hate you – and yes, I’m comfortable using the word hate.

    Gimme a break #28…back in the old days, racist white guys used black people to entertain them but they were still racist. Whiny-ass Kanye is racist. He proves it whenever he opens his stupid mouth. Just because he has white bimbos dancing in his videos doesn’t make him Affirmative Action.

    I agree with Papa, Land-Man. This thread needs a Land Statement.

    And I was Black Jesus way before Kayne West was. I used to write my byline on Gideon’s Bibles in motel rooms, but I still haven’t seen a fucking dime in royalties.

    Shoot you? Well, I don’t have a gun, but I’m sure all the guys in Kanye’s posse do, so maybe one of them could. Hopefully they can aim well enough while holding their pistols sideways.

    I think someone needs to jerk off in Danielabella’s salad.

    Like most PC America, racism is viewed as a one way street. If a black father says he only wants his black daughter marrying a black man, everyone says “awww, that just him being cultural (or keepin’ it real yo)” but fire and brimstone for the white man who says he only wants his white daughter with a white man.

    I stand by my challenge, and black American that can tell me what part of Africa their ancestors are from can claim African-American. I can tell you what city in Italy my relatives are from. I can tell you the name of the boat they came over on. I can tell you what and where the tribe the other part of my lineage is from.

    I’m sure Daimler/Chrysler is a racist organization and they are just financially persecuting Kanye for being the one thing America hates most, a successful Black man. You know that will be the spin, not that Kanye can’t pay his bills, not that he’s grown up accustomed to the government (read, you, me and our tax dollars hard at work)picking up the tab for everything. In the end, when his brief, megalomaniacal career is over, he’ll revert to the old ways and declare bankruptcy and you, me and our tax dollars will pick up the tab yet again. Jesus may walk, but apparently he doesn’t know how to write a check.
