Hip hop mogul and self-proclaimed billionaire Kanye West wants to chat with Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong about purchasing crypto “without a middle man,” according to a Friday post by the rapper on X. It’s unclear if West currently owns any crypto, but back in 2014, he took legal action against an early memecoin project dubbed “Coinye” for trademark infringement. The project was promptly shuttered by the development team after West’s lawyers issued a cease-and-desist letter. But now West, whose net worth is estimated at $400 million by Forbes, but which he claimed is actually $2.77 billion, may turn out to be planning a large over-the-counter (OTC) purchase of crypto with Coinbase. “Resend me that crypto connect where I don’t use a middleman,” West said in a text to an unknown individual. West attached a screenshot of the conversation to his X post. “Brian Armstrong, CEO and founder of Coinbase,” the mystery individual replied. “I will ask for his number to provide to you.” It’s unclear if West and Armstrong spoke after the screenshot was posted.
