Kanye West may believe he and his fiancée Kim Kardashian are a power couple who has more influence that Barack and Michelle Obama, but a new report shows he may be jumping to conclusions. According to the new numbers crunched by Q Scores, the rapper’s popularity has hit an all time low. The Daily Mail reports:
Kanye West’s popularity has dropped by a staggering 66% in the time he has been dating Kim Kardashian, new figures have revealed.
The 36-year-old Grammy-award winner has lost a huge amount of fans since he became romantically involved with Kim, 33, with whom he now has a baby daughter.
According to Q Scores, a US website which is regarded as a realistic measure of popularity and likeability, Kanye originally had a high score of 17 among women aged between 18 and 49 before he and Kim began dating in April 2012.
But since his romance with Kim, Kanye’s score – which was a 19 among men aged 18-34 at its highest – has now dropped to a lowly 3 in the women 18-49 category.
Interestingly enough, rappers are supposed to average a score of between 12 and 18, so Kanye’s score is horrendous compared to other Hip Hop stars.
We reported some time last year that Kanye’s Q Score was beginning to take a massive hit since dating Kim, but it appears his popularity has tanked even more due to his latest controversial antics and interviews.
Q Scores are a big deal for celebrities who wish to lock in lucrative endorsement deals with major corporations and most companies don’t make an offer without looking at the report first. So perhaps it’s a good thing that Kanye just said recently in a rant and his single “New Slaves” that he no longer wants to work with corporations.
The beginning of the end for Kanye & Kim popularity. In my daniel bryan voice YES! YES! YES!
LOL. No wonder Kim and Kanye have been going hard lately with the staged photo ops with North West. They know the end is near and the public is over them.
Great! Now if the K’s can just go away and take Kanye with them. Then we can get back to the media reporting on the more interesting celebs. You know the way things USED to be before Kim and her fam started paying the media to report on them everyday.
The only way that will happen is if the media does their job and starts reporting the real tea on the K’s. And for now, the media chooses their dirty money over real journalism.
I am not surprised. Kim and her family have been pushed down our throats so much that we naturally begin to despise anyone who willingly associates with them. And to make matters worse, Kanye became even more arrogant and annoying after he got with Kim. So this makes sense.
LOL!!!!
Most of the us are tired of the Kardashians. So I’m not shocked that Kanye’s popularity has taken a huge hit for being with Kim. But he needs to stop acting like they are God’s gift to the world. That couldn’t be further from the truth.
I just really hope Kim and Kanye move to Paris. Oh and I hope they take everyone else with them. I am beyond exhausted by these horrid people.
So if it’s clear people don’t like Kanye and the Kardashians, when will we stop hearing about them everyday? LOL.
Kanye brought most of this on himself. He’s become more known for being controversial than his music and he’s going to regret that he allowed that to happen soon.
Good. He’s annoying as hell.
It’s kind of hard to be a power couple when most of the human population can’t stand you and your woman Kanye. But I guess you didn’t think about that.
It is not surprising. Also, God will catch up with you sooner or later when you are arrogant enough to compare yourself to Him.
