United States’ rapper and fashion businessman, Kanye West, has stated that he’s richer than Nigerian billionaire, Aliko Dangote, stating that he is the richest black man in the world.

Kanye West said he is being disrespected by being called a rapper, even though he is the richest black man of all time. His claim came after he was criticised for anti-Semitic comments during an interview with Drink Champs podcast hosted by N.O.R.E.

According to the ‘Gold Digger’ crooner, he is worth $11 billion, “when media calls me a rapper specifically to not bring up the fact that I’m worth $11 billion, that I’m the richest black man of all time, that I’m a billionaire and I’m a tycoon, that I’m a visionary. 

“And if I say that, if I say those three things, then they’ll say I’m a narcissist, right? But they push you down so much that you got to fight just to say who you are.” 

Despite claiming to worth $11 billion, Forbes Billionaire Ranking says Kanye West is worth $2 billion, and occupies 1437 spot on the richest people list as of Wednesday. 

Although, regardless of his self-worth $11 billion, Nigeria’s cement mogul, Aliko Dangote, is still richer than Kanye West, Prime Business Africa gathered, considering Forbes estimated the Dangote Cement founder’s wealth to be $12.4 billion. 

Dangote is ranked 136th in the world, making him the richest black man on the continent. While Dangote’s wealth is drawn from cement, food, fertilizer, and now oil and gas, Kanye West’s networth is based on his music career and fashion business, Yeezy.
