Bartender says Kanye West paid her $15,000 to listen to him talk for 4 hours

There's no doubt that Kanye West is known as much for his eccentricities as he is for his talents.

Despite being one of the most acclaimed rappers of all time, the 43-year-old is quite happy to abandon social conventions, and stories of his outlandish behavior are the stuff of legend.

Now, one woman is claiming that West once paid her the whopping sum of $15,000 just to listen to him talk.

Take a look at her tell-all video here:

Bartender Anessa Rossii posted a video to TikTok last week, where she spoke about how the hip-hop star walked into the Los Angeles strip club where she served drinks several years previously.

She stated: "My club gets a lot of rappers, athletes, people that just want to show up and show out and do things for Instagram. But not Kanye."

In the video, the bartender revealed - all while applying her makeup - that West gave her a whopping tip after drinking nothing but water and lecturing her on his theories of life, the universe, and everything in between, for four hours straight.

Watch Kanye's presidential campaign video:

West was apparently apathetic towards the alcohol and the dancers, with the bartender continuing: "It was completely different.

"He didn't order anything to drink. He just got water on the rocks and proceeded to tell me all of his beliefs, where we descended from, and how he believed that a true descendant of his creator."

The video has since picked up plenty of attention from other TikTok users, accruing over 1.9 million views, 194,000 reactions, and a further 1,600 comments at the time of writing.

Rossi herself later took to the comments with a follow-up, writing: "Probably one of the more memorable moments at the club, have no idea why he gave me so much money and he never came in again."
