'Radioactive': Kanye West Trashed By Ex-Treasurer After Dropping Out of 2024 Race Amid Campaign Fraud Scandal
Kanye West plans to shut down his 2024 Presidential campaign after RadarOnline.com exclusively published a series of blistering articles that revealed a federal investigation into its alleged campaign fraud.
The abrupt about-face by the hip-hop artist was revealed by his renowned attorney Bruce Marks in an interview with Rolling Stone magazine where he declared: “He’s not a candidate for office in 2024.”
Marks did not elaborate on the reason for the shutdown, but former Kanye 2020 committee treasurer Devin White exclusively told RadarOnline.com that the Gold Digger singer is running for the hills since a complaint was filed with the FBI and the Federal Election Commission (FEC) over its slipshod bookkeeping and alleged illegal payments.
“I think they shut down 2024 because we bought up some substantial issues of fraud and the investigations by the FBI and FEC,” said White who immediately spotted the campaign chicanery when he began reviewing its finances.
“I think it made the committee radioactive for Kanye and he’s trying to clean this up,” he added. “How are you going to run for president and not resolve those issues? There is no way because its radioactive.”
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, White and renowned attorney Bruce Fein blew the whistle on the Kanye 2020 campaign finances after a forensic accounting review of the books showed payments based on suspicious invoices that barely described the work that was done.
The duo also discovered alleged illegal payments to Kanye’s campaign manager and alt-right provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos, who had muscled his way into the Kanye 2024 campaign after white nationalist Nick Fuentes was canned.
Fein and White charged the UK-born Yiannopoulos may have already broken the law by working on the 2020 campaign as a foreign national – which is strictly prohibited under the Federal Election Campaign Act-- and allegedly supplying improper receipts for $13.5 million in campaign expenditures.
White and Fein stepped in to work for the campaign after Yiannopoulos used the campaign credit card of another client, Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, to purchase the Ye24.com domain name, according to published reports.

White and Fein immediately notified the FEC, the FBI and fired off legal letters to anyone associated with the campaign to preserve all documents, receipts, and electronic messages for a deep-dive investigation into campaign finance chicanery.
The drumbeat was quickly silenced when the campaign appointed Hassan Sheikh as the new treasurer and told White and Fein to vamoose.
Marks has vehemently denied the allegations and charged White and Fein are disgruntled former workers.
