Hillsborough State Attorney Andrew Warren said Clark “needs to be held accountable” for his actions, adding that “other potential scammers out there need to see the consequences” of committing such crimes.

“In this case, we’ve been able to deliver those consequences while recognising that our goal with any child, whenever possible, is to have them learn their lesson without destroying their future.”

The teenager posted fake tweets in order to convince users to send bitcoin to accounts he owned, prosecutors said.

Clark also targetted high-profile figures such as president Joe Biden, former president Barack Obama, Kim Kardashian and Elon Musk, as well as various large companies including Apple and Uber.

Over the summer, two more individuals were formally charged by the US Department of Justice for their involvement – 22-year-old Nima Fazeli in Orlando and 19-year-old Mason Sheppard in the UK.

“These crimes were perpetrated using the names of famous people and celebrities, but they’re not the primary victims here,” Andrew Warren said at the time.

“This ‘Bit-Con’ was designed to steal money from regular Americans from all over the country, including here in Florida. This massive fraud was orchestrated right here in our backyard, and we will not stand for that.”

West appears to have accepted money from people under 18 and there are question marks over contributions from foreign nationals after false names were spotted in the donor list. Some of these names were accompanied by addresses that are linked to drop-shipping sites in the US, suggesting they were used in place of the donors’ real addresses.

One of the rapper’s fundraising strategies was to sell campaign much on his website, including hats and hoodies. According to a report from the Daily Beast, a number of teenagers bought these items, with the profits going to the star’s campaign.

Overall, students reportedly made up more than 1,200 of the 3,161 donors to West’s presidential run, contributing $349,160 (£252k) in total.

One such donor was 16-year-old Ian Bloom, who told the publication he had spent $3,280 (£2,371) on campaign merchandise but had yet to receive any of it. “I don’t know what’s happening there,” Bloom said. “I ordered like 20 hoodies off his campaign website, along with a lot of other people that I know. They said it would be three weeks, and after that, I emailed the support team, and the email just wasn’t a thing.”

He explained that he had bought the hoodies to resell online and that he was in contact with other resellers on Discord. “I can say with confidence that at least half of us in the group have to be still in high school,” he said.

As well as looking into these donations, the FEC could also launch an investigation into West’s allegedly unlawful fundraising practices that saw him gain nearly $100,000 (£72k) in small donations so far this year.

Last month, West was the subject of two class-action lawsuits from around 500 performers and 300 backstage workers who played a role in his Sunday Service shows.

The suits allege that the rapper failed to pay hundreds of employees on time – or at all – as well as not delivering the overtime wages, meal and rest breaks and business expenses to which employees were legally entitled. West has not commented on the lawsuits.

He continued: “When [West] stopped [rapping], L.A. was like, ‘Yo you should stick to making music, stick to making beats.’ So that’s why I always honour Ye, no matter how crazy he goes. I’ve seen that man struggle.”

Fun Fact: Once upon a time Lupe Fiasco brought Kanye West and Stack Bundles to audition for LA Reid. And Lupe almost signed to Roc-A-Fella before Ye…https://t.co/6NANLb0mka pic.twitter.com/FK1gpDhQIR

West and Lupe met while the former was producing Beanie Sigel’s ‘The Truth’. From there the pair became friends, bouncing ideas off each other. Their biggest collaboration to date came in 2005 on ‘Touch The Sky’ from West’s Late Registration album.

In October, L.A. Reid has sold off 100 per cent of his publishing interests and writer’s share of income on the entirety of his 162-song catalogue.

The producer, songwriter and executive is one of several artists to sell the rights to their future royalties to the Hipgnosis Song Fund. Reid was also been appointed to its advisory board.

Last month, Lupe paid tribute to MF DOOM with a new freestyle.

DOOM (real name Daniel Dumile) died on October 31, but the news was only confirmed by his wife Jasmine on December 31.

Meanwhile, Kim Kardashian recently filed for divorce from Kanye West after almost seven years of marriage.

It was reported last month that the pair were living “separate lives” and that divorce was “imminent” for the celebrity couple.

It has now been confirmed by a Los Angeles Superior Court spokeswoman to Reuters that Kardashian filed divorce papers on February 19. A representative for Kardashian also confirmed that she had filed papers.

The video of the mashup pairs together two live performances from both sets of artists – watch it below.

Earlier this week, Lars Ulrich has admitted that Metallica are only making “glacial” progress with their new album, suggesting that the record won’t see the light of day for some time.

Back in November Ulrich said that he and his bandmates were engaged in some “pretty serious writing” sessions for the album, with the drummer promising the following month that the forthcoming LP would be the best record that Metallica have ever made. However, it appears it won’t be coming for some time.

Meanwhile, a video clip has emerged that appears to show Kanye West shouting at Chance The Rapper during a recent studio session.

The footage is reportedly from an upcoming documentary on West’s shelved ‘Donda’ album, filmed last summer at the ‘Jesus Walks’ hitmaker’s Wyoming compound.

The clip appears to show West growing increasingly frustrated during a recording session for the unreleased album before lashing out at Chance, telling him to sit his “ass down and listen to the album or leave.”

Last year, West was reported to have said he was “done” with secular music and would only release gospel music from that point forward. He later took offence when Drake questioned whether he would return to non-religious music in the future.

“I take offence when somebody calls me secular,” West said at a Sunday Service session in LA. “Y’all can look at the domes that we was building, affordable homes, y’all call that bizarre. Y’all can take the picture of me painting it silver, y’all can call that what y’all want.

“But don’t call me secular ’cause secular is trying to say that I’ll do anything for anyone other than Christ. That’s where they got it messed up. That’s where they got it twisted.”

Meanwhile, the rapper was the most-Googled artist of 2020 in the UK. He topped the list from the search engine ahead of the likes of Grimes, Bugzy Malone and Girls Aloud‘s Sarah Harding.

The message continues throughout West’s verse: “Kanye if you’re watching please raise your right hand. Your part is almost over it was a great verse. Can I get some Yeezys in a color way for not a cult?”

“Could you talk to the mayor about Breonna Taylor?” Kanye raps in his verse, referencing the 26-year-old Black woman shot and killed by police officers raiding her Kentucky home with a “no-knock warrant” in March.

Kanye West’s wife Kim Kardashian recently revealed that the rapper’s 2010 track ‘Lost In The World’ was inspired by a poem that the rapper wrote to Kardashian before the pair began dating.

“Kanye couldn’t come up with some of the lyrics but then realised he had them in a poem he had written me that was my birthday card he gave me for my 30th birthday,” she wrote on Instagram. “He took the poem he wrote me and made it the song.”

‘Lost In The World’ features on Kanye’s acclaimed 2010 album ‘My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy’, which celebrated its tenth anniversary this month.

In a new retrospective feature about the album, NME wrote: “Kanye’s personal legacy might be a sinking ship right now, but his musical legacy can rest easy on the shoulders of ‘My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy’.

“They say that time is the father of truth, and 10 years on, it’s obvious that Kanye’s fifth album is his most accomplished (regardless of the hypebeasts who swear ‘Yeezus’ is better).”

While further details of his appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Wednesday (November 4) have not been confirmed, it seems likely the host will discuss the election with the rapper. The show will be broadcast on ABC in the US at 11:35pm ET (4:35am GMT).

Last week (October 30), the star took out a two-page advert in the New York Times in which he looked to a “better America”.

“Dear Future, I still believe in you,” he wrote in the open letter. “We still believe in you.” In his imagined future, the rapper added “we will H.E.A.L.” and “hold everyone accountable to love”.

West also shared another campaign ad last week (October 28) with the caption “We will heal”. In the accompanying video, featuring footage from his appearance on Joe Rogan’s podcast, he said: “There couldn’t be a better time to put a visionary in the captain’s chair. I believe that my calling is to be the leader of the free world. It was something that God put on my heart back in 2015.”

In his imagined future, the rapper said “we will H.E.A.L.” and “hold everyone accountable to love”.

“Our future will provide expecting families with a safe and secure plan that values every stage of life,” the letter reads. “Our future will provide a justice system that treats everyone equally regardless of their socioeconomic status.

“Our future will provide an education system that promotes freedom and visionary thinking. Our happy, healthy future looks like the new Garden of Eden with children running and the elderly brimming with joy on how beautiful our world has become. Our future has homes for everyone.”

West also promised in the ad a future “free from debt, shame, guilt, worry, stress, war, greed, hate, misuse of power, prejudices, manipulation, and discrimination”. You can read the letter in full here.

The webpage also featured a video of children – including West’s daughter North and son Saint – in blue T-shirts with YCA (Yeezy Christian Academy) written on them, reading lines from the letter.

In ‘Nah Nah Nah’, West raps about his presidential run, his contract dispute with Universal Music Group, and his appearance on Nick Cannon’s podcast.

The rapper said he would released a new album called ‘DONDA’ in July, but it never materialised. Instead, West has shared the record’s assumed title track, ‘DONDA’, and has previewed ‘Believe What I Say’.

In other news, West has released another presidential campaign video ahead of next week’s US election. Captioned “We will heal”, the two-minute clip is comprised of various soundbites from West’s recent interview on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast.

The news follows reports earlier this month that West, who is said to have spent $3million (£2.27million) on his White House run last month, is polling at 2 per cent nationally.

Several of his fans explained why they’re voting for the star to become the next US president in a separate video shared last week. “Kanye West is the best for the American people,” one voter stated. “With the help from God, he will achieve his goal by winning the 2020 presidential election.”

Another said: “I will be voting for Kanye West this year because America needs a leader who will actually listen to the kids.” Others in the clip mentioned that “America needs a strong leader with ideas,” that West is “going to help people [and] cares about families,” and his “faith-based” Christian campaign was appealing.

West goes on to describe himself as a “fearless leader”, explaining: “I went from having confidence and arrogance to having faith, and faith is the opposite of fear. And that created this fearless approach that I have.”

The video ends with the rapper’s “2020 vision” slogan presented over a black-and-white American flag.

This comes as West, who is said to have spent $3million (£2.27million) on his White House run last month, continues his bid in opposition of Donald Trump and Joe Biden. It was recently reported that West was polling at just 2 per cent nationally.

Soon after, it was reported that West’s long-rumoured appearance had been cancelled, after Rogan was said to have told fans after a show in Texas that he believed West coming on the show might not have been the best idea for the ‘Through The Wire’ rapper.

However, it looks like West wants to give things another go, reaching out to Rogan for an invite on Twitter.

“Would love to go on Joe Rogan’s podcast LIVE this week,” West tweeted, alongside a clip of Rogan talking about him. “I have my team trying to get your number Joe I’m in Calabassas Let’s do this my friend.”

“They want me to just continue doing it the way I’m doing it right now. We will still have clips up on YouTube but full versions of the show will only be on Spotify after the end of the year.

“I’m excited to have the support of the largest audio platform in the world and I hope you folks are there when we make the switch!”

Meanwhile, West was pictured in London on Saturday (October 10) alongside his seven-year-old daughter North, prompting fans to question whether the international visit breached quarantine rules.

Last month, West elaborated on his plan to “free all artists by any means necessary”, saying he was committed to changing the music industry to make it fairer for all artists.

“The balance of power is too off, the gap between major label profit and artist profit too wide; and I will work to re-think the design of the entire way we move in this space,” he said.

West previously said he would not release any new music until he was released from his contracts with Sony and Universal. Over the last few weeks, the star has been sharing scans of his contracts on social media and suggesting new guidelines for record and publishing deals that he says would make sure all artists are treated fairly.

Earlier this week (September 24), the rapper set out a plan to “free all artists by any means necessary”. He said he is committed to “doing whatever is necessary so artists own their own copyrights”.

“Everyone knows this is a broken system that needs to be fixed,” West said. “Currently, artists take advances to make records and yet when they repay those advances the record company still owns the records. Imagine a bank lending you money to buy a house and then when you’ve repaid that mortgage, them telling you they still own it.”

The musician has also promised that he will give back to all artists signed to his label, G.O.O.D. Music, the 50 percent share he holds of their masters.

West’s first point stated that artists should own the copyright to their recordings and songs outright and then lease them “to the record label/publisher for a limited term”, suggesting that could be done in one-year deals.

1. The artist owns the copyright in the recordings and songs and leases them to the record label / publisher for a limited term. 1 year deals

— ye (@kanyewest) September 20, 2020

 

He went on to describe record labels and publishers as service providers who should receive “a share of the income for a limited term”, with profits being split “80/20 in the artists’ favour”.

Under the heading “Dependants”, he said artists shouldn’t be “dependent on no one but themselves to manage their catalog”. “You should need NO ONE else to understand the business you’re in,” he wrote. Moving onto a point about lawyers, he noted that all record deals should be written in “plain English” so they are “understandable from FIRST READ”.

3. DEPENDANTS

Artists must be dependent on no one but themselves to manage their catalog. You should need NO ONE else to understand the business you’re in.

— ye (@kanyewest) September 20, 2020

4. LAWYERS

the first thing that changes about Record Deals is actually lawyers.

We need Plain English contracts. A Lawyers role is to IMPROVE deals…. not charge for contracts we cannot understand or track. Re-write deals to be understandable from FIRST READ.

— ye (@kanyewest) September 20, 2020

 

The rapper also detailed ideas for how to deal with equity and blanket licenses, as well as advances, which he said should stop when an artist re-signs with a label. “Record Companies have to buy into you, not loan you,” he wrote.

5. ADVANCES ARE JUST LOANS!!

On Artists re-signing these stop. Advances are Loans with 75% interest rates (or worse). NO other business in the world takes a look at the business, buys shares, starts to profit when it profits. Record Companies have to buy into you, not loan you.

— ye (@kanyewest) September 20, 2020

 

On royalties, he pushed for portals to show an artist every song they had delivered, every store their music was being sold in, how many streams each song had and how much income they had earned per song. Continuing to discuss portals, West suggested that “every audio file, every asset, every deal [should be] stored WITH the money”. “Money and Music must stay together,” he said “When your term ends, download it all. Leave.”

6. ROYALTIES

Again back to dependents. You need a business manager to read how you did? So you pay to see your money!!! NO MORE.

Royalty portals need to show (and do not now)

Every song you delivered

Every store you are in

How many streams per song

Income per song

— ye (@kanyewest) September 20, 2020

7. PORTALS

Are not just for royalties. They are for your entire business.  Every audio file, every asset, every deal stored WITH the money. Money and Music must stay together. When your term ends, download it all. Leave.

On Friday, the rapper promised that he would “personally” help Taylor Swift get her masters back. The singer’s old recordings were sold to a company owned by Scooter Braun last year and she claimed she had not been notified that the sale was going ahead or been given a chance to purchase it herself.

West went on to explain that he has always “loved and respected” Eminem and that ‘Use This Gospel’ is his daughter North West’s favourite song.

“I HAVW ALWAYS LOVED AND RESPECTED YOU AND IM HONORED TO HAVE YOU BLESS THIS SONG,” he wrote. “ITS ALSO NORTH WEST’S FAVORITE KANYE WEST SONG OF ALL TIME.”

Soon after thanking Eminem, West tweeted that he would “personally” help Taylor Swift get her master recordings back as he continued to discuss rights issues in the music industry.

The rapper began the conversation around record deals and artists’ rights earlier this week (September 15) when he shared his own contracts with Sony and Universal.

West posted pages of his deals on Twitter and said he wouldn’t release any new music until he was released from the contracts. He also labelled himself “the new Moses” and said the music industry is a “modern-day slave ship.”

Earlier this week, Eminem‘s manager Paul Rosenberg shot down claims that the rapper was due to release new music to mark the 20th anniversary of Shady Records.

It came after designer Mike Saputo shared unused ‘Shady XX’ logos earlier this week on his Instagram page which he said he was designing assets for in 2019.

Meanwhile, Eminem has dropped a dizzying new verse on Big Sean‘s new posse cut ‘Friday Night Cypher’.

“Candidates need to plan ahead and arrive in time to get into the building and file the papers in the office of the commission prior to the deadline, there are no exceptions under the statute or the relevant case law.”

West’s lawsuit claimed that the deadline, which was set at 5pm, did not expire until 5:01pm and that his papers had still been accepted by staff. It also argued that because the commission’s building was locked when the star’s campaign staff arrived, they had to call the commission to be let in.

One worker at the commission said that West’s representatives hadn’t placed the paperwork on the counter until 5:01pm and by the time they were officially accepted it was several minutes past the deadline.

The decision could be appealed by the Wisconsin Supreme Court but, with state law requiring all mail votes to have been posted by September 17, the state elections commission have argued adding new nominees to the ballot and reprinting them would cause “confusion and disorder”.

West announced his plans to run for president under The Birthday Party on July 4, 2020. He has missed the deadline to appear on ballots in numerous states and will only be able to win the election through a considerable write-in campaign.

Meanwhile, the star was hospitalised last week, citing “too much texting” as the cause of his injuries. On Wednesday (September 9), he shared an X-Ray image of his right hand and said he “had to get the cortisone mixed with a wittle sprinkle of lidocaine” to heal the problem.

Meanwhile, it has been reported that West has self-funded nearly £5million for his US presidential bid so far. It’s said a significant amount of the money spent on his campaign has gone to consulting firms who work to get West’s name on the ballot in states.

He’s suffered a number of setbacks since entering the White House race on July 4, and was removed from the ballot in Virginia last month after a judge said that 11 of his 13 electors in the state “were obtained by improper, fraudulent and/or misleading means”.

Since he announced his intention to run for President earlier this year, there has been speculation that the star was doing so in order to help Trump get re-elected by taking votes away from Joe Biden. An investigation by New York Magazine also found that at least two people linked to his campaign were members of the GOP.

He added: “I’m not running for President – I’m walking.” Watch the teaser above now.

West has been accused of deceiving voters for signatures in order to qualify to be included on the ballot in Virginia. Two signed affidavits were submitted to the State Board of Elections by voters who claim they were deceived into signing up to serve as electors for West to get on the Virginia ballot. Another woman separately alleged that someone tried to get a vote for West from her under false pretences.

The star is also reportedly suing the Ohio election chief in an effort to secure his place on the ballot in that state.

Ohio election officials have removed him from the ballot due to mismatched paperwork. According to Cincinatti.com, the Ohio secretary of state’s office judged that both the signature and information presented on West’s petition and statement of candidacy didn’t match up to those featured on petitions signed by voters.

In a statement, Ohio secretary of state Frank LaRose said: “A signature is the most basic form of authentication and an important, time-honoured, security measure to ensure that a candidate aspires to be on the ballot and that a voter is being asked to sign a legitimate petition.

“There is no doubt that the West nominating petition and declaration of candidacy failed to meet the necessary threshold for certification.”

Although the star’s name will not feature on the ballot come the election, he could still file to run as a write-in candidate.

The rapper has also been taken off the ballot in his home state of Illinois. The board of elections reinforced an earlier decision made by a hearing officer that a majority of the signatures submitted by West were invalid or fraudulent, according to Consequence Of Sound.

Each state requires a certain number of signatures to be submitted to grant a candidate access to appearing on the election ballot.

Currently, West’s name will appear on ballots in Arkansas, Colorado, Oklahoma, Utah and Vermont. Decisions are still pending in Iowa, Missouri, Minnesota, Tennessee, West Virginia and Virginia.

Recently, a poll revealed that only two percent of Black voters in the US were behind West in his bid to become the next President.

Going into more detail, the rapper wrote the village would support mothers and families as well as provide rehoming for children. It will “provide a place to safely experience pregnancy and birth”, offering “stipends, childcare and career opportunities”, while children will receive high-quality education, “farm to table nutrition”, and access to “wellcare”, which is said to include “healthcare, holistic prevention [and] emotional intelligence”.
