October 30, 2019, marked a significant day for Kanye West, as his album 'Jesus Is King' was poised to make a major impact on the music scene. According to reports, the album was expected to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, garnering a total of 225,000 to 275,000 units, including 60,000 to 85,000 in traditional album sales.
As if that wasn't enough, Kanye West revealed during an interview with James Corden on Carpool Karaoke that he had received a $68 million tax refund. This news came as a surprise, especially considering that he had previously stated that he made over $100 million and still ended up in debt.
When asked about his financial situation, Kanye West attributed his good fortune to his faith, saying, "God is using me to show off." He also shared that he had told the people working on his album to go celibate, a decision that seemed to have paid off.
With his album success and tax refund, it's clear that 2019 has been a year of blessings for Kanye West. His net worth has been boosted, and he has solidified his position as one of the highest-paid hip-hop artists of the year.
