Kanye West prides himself as a successful entrepreneur. He should consider his talents after his latest set back. His latest album “The life of Pablo” has costed the rapper $10 million in illegal downloads. Why? Because Kanye planned to sell the album for $20.00.

“TorrentFreak reported that West’s album was illegally downloaded more than 500,000 times in the first 24 hours of its Feb. 14 release.

In an odd event, Kanye changed his mind 24 hours after the release and the album was not offered for download. Thousands who were ready to buy his latest work illegally ripped the album from The Pirate Bay.

I suppose this is a publicity that went horribly wrong.
