Rapper Kanye West has turned down a USD 500,000-per-show deal for a Las Vegas residency.
The 37-year-old 'Stronger' hitmaker shunned an approach by The Axis at Planet Hollywood, who offered him a huge deal for just nine days work, reported TMZ.
The venue reportedly wanted West to perform three shows a week for three weeks but he turned them down, though the reason is not known yet.
The deal would have put him ahead of Vegas' current top earners, Celine Dion, who earns USD 476,000 per show, Britney Spears, who is believed to make slightly less with USD 475,000 and Jennifer Lopez, who has just been offered a USD 350,000-per-gig contract with The Axis.
