Kanye West released another tweet storm that included a graphic video of himself and one of his Grammy Awards amid his mounting frustrations with the music industry.
Kanye westThe 43-year-old surprised his Twitter followers by posting a video of him peeing on one of his prized Grammy Awards on the toilet bowl (watch video HERE). This appears to be the culmination of his desire to be released from his recording contracts with his publisher, Sony / ATV Music Publishing, and his label, Universal Music Group. “Trust me … I WILL NOT STOP,” he captioned the footage that left millions of people in disbelief and shock. On Monday, in a now-deleted tweet, he announced his decision not to release any new music until those deals were finalized. He later compared the music industry to “modern slavery” before publishing his alleged ten contracts he has with Universal.
He quickly received a lot of backlash for posting the shocking images. “How vile and disrespectful of you”, composer Diane Warren, who has written legendary songs like “How Do I Live” and “I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing” wrote in response. “This was given to U by your colleagues out of respect for your work and U r literally pissing with them. I won a Grammy and I will always be grateful and humbled that my peers have found me worthy of it. “
Kanye also called people like Bond, Duck, Kendrick lamar and even his longtime enemy Taylor Swift, to help him in his cause saying that “we need you right nowooooow” after promising that “ALL MUSICIANS WILL BE FREE”.
The “Style” singer had her own musical battle with her former label boss Big Machine Records Scott borchetta when it was announced that he had sold his teachers to Scooter braun and The Carlyle Group.
Kanye began attacking the structure of the music industry earlier in the week by stating that artists had little to no power because record labels owned all of their work. “In the streaming world, teacher ownership is everything … that’s the bulk of revenue … in COVID artists need our teachers,” he wrote. “Artists are starving without tours … I’m going to find our teachers … for all artists … pray for me.”
