John Nields’ Accounts Are In Debt

As his businesses fall apart, Kanye West reportedly hires Depp lawyer Camille Vasquez to look over his books

The rapper seems to be doing alright, he has his own TV show that airs once each season and his own tour that’s booked to take his live concerts to places like Madison Square Garden, The Hollywood Bowl and even the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
