LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Kanye West is facing severe backlash after revealing he was on the brink of bankruptcy for his antisemitic comments.

The 46-year-old rapper, who recently made headlines for his eccentric Super Bowl commercial promoting his Yeezy fashion line, claimed he was just two months away from declaring bankruptcy.

This startling announcement comes in the wake of widespread criticism and subsequent "canceling" he faced due to his antisemitic rants

The rapper spoke to TMZ about the triumph of his latest album, 'Vultures', and the buzz created by his Yeezy Super Bowl advertisement. This comes more than a year after he was let go by several brands due to his contentious comments.

"Number one all over the world," Ye said to the outlet at LAX Airport after the Las Vegas game. 

"I'ma just be honest with y'all. I was two months from going bankrupt, and I put everything I had into it," he added. "We moved to Italy. We moved to the factories, and we survived. We survived through the cancellation. We're back No. 1."

The 46-year-old artist also attributed his resilience in the face of criticism to his "various skill sets."

"If I didn't have the various skill sets of music and clothing and the fanbase, they would have been able to destroy me," he stated.

"But because we had all those skill sets, somehow I'm here inside of this universe able to fight."

In response to inquiries about whether he regretted his antisemitic remarks, West declined to show any regret.

"They got the right to their opinion — I got the right to my opinion," he mentioned.
