The magazine reports that a guy Kanye knew contacted designer Philipp Plein who is staging a big event on Monday, 11th February and arranged for Ye to perform for a steep price of $900,000.
The guy forged Kanye’s signature on the contract, Plein fell for it and wired the money to an account which was immediately cleaned out.
Kanye is definitely not performing at the show as his wife Kim Kardashian has taken to Twitter to state it in clear words. Her tweet:
“He’s not performing at any fashion show this season. Just a rumour.”
Plein is expected to take legal action, according to TMZ.
