On Tuesday, West shared a since-deleted video on Instagram where he discussed his current struggles in finding and booking a venue for his performances and shows.

West looked like he was struggling as he spoke due to his $850k titanium dentures that caused him a lisp.

According to the Grammy-winning rapper, he has only been able to perform at the United Center in Chicago because other venues said they did not have an open schedule for him.

"It's the only arena that I had access to in the past year. And when I call, people say there's no avails for me, and you know why that is. So if there's anybody out there that can help with this, please," he said.

As for the reason behind the rejections, he told his followers they "know why that is," seemingly referring to the controversies he got involved in over the past few years.

He shared a follow-up post where he compared himself to Elvis Presley.

"I have not been allowed to perform in a year. Feels like the Elvis Presley movie," he went on.

Forbes estimates Kanye West's net worth this year at around $400 million.

He previously held a billionaire status not until Adidas ended its partnership with Yeezy following his string of controversial statements.

The company said, "Adidas does not tolerate antisemitism and any other sort of hate speech. Ye's recent comments and actions have been unacceptable, hateful and dangerous, and they violate the company's values of diversity and inclusion, mutual respect and fairness."

Following a review, Adidas decided to terminate its partnership with West. That also meant it stopped the production of Yeezy branded products with immediate effect.

West notably made $220 million annually from his Yeezy partnership. Meanwhile, Balenciaga, Vogue and Gap also terminated their connections with the rapper.
