Kanye West Declined A $100 Million Deal For Album Streams Right

Ye dropped a bombshell during his speech revealing he declined a $100 million bag for exclusive streaming rights for his Billboard Chart-topping DONDA album and further driving home his intention to inspire and promote Black ownership. “When y’all see me doing certain things that y’all wouldn’t expect us to do, and y’all want me to step back and be a house n-gga, that’s not my position,” Kanye West said. “My position is to make what y’all might think are mistakes in public, so I can show you that that ain’t no red line, that ain’t no real wall. That’s just a smokescreen, and it’s for us to take this. We on labels we don’t own, play for basketball teams we don’t own. The time is now. I got offered $100 million by Larry Jackson to put DONDA on Apple, but I ain’t never got a meeting with Tim Cook. So it ain’t about the money, it’s about our power and out respect collectively. So I be saying stuff that people try to remind me in Black History Month that people got killed for. But this is Black Future Month. The Yeezy fashion designer and music mogul has already been on a mission to regain control over all aspects of the production of the documentary about his life.
