Kanye West has reportedly spent up large on his unconventional presidential campaign.<\/p>\n

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the 43-year-old musician has shelled out almost $6 million (\u00a34.5 million) in his bid for the leadership, the majority of which has come from a personal loan he made to his campaign. <\/p>\n

Editors at the publication obtained a finance report that was filed with the Federal Election Commission on Friday, that details the Gold Digger star has spent $5.86 million (\u00a34.41 million) so far, with most of that money going toward consultants and fees. <\/p>\n

He has apparently given more than $6.7 million (\u00a35.05 million) during July and August alone.<\/p>\n

Other sources of income reveal that Kanye has also received some small donations from other people supporting his run for the Oval Office.<\/p>\n

The hip-hop star’s presence in the race has proved controversial, with Democratic Party officials accusing him of running as a “spoiler candidate” to draw votes away from their nominee, former Vice President Joe Biden, who is challenging the incumbent, Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

Reports have linked operatives from Trump’s Republican Party to West’s attempts to get on the ballot in swing states, with the rapper denying he is “in cahoots” with Trump’s team – boasting he has more money than the president.<\/p>\n

Trump campaign aides have also denied involvement in West’s political venture – which has been hit by problems since he launched his campaign in July. After a bizarre launch event, his wife Kim Kardashian spoke out to ask for understanding due to her husband suffering from bipolar disorder.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
