At this point, it feels like every step of this album’s rollout has been mired in some form of headache-inducing controversy, confusion, beef, or just all-out havoc, and it doesn’t appear that the chaos will be ending anytime soon. Let’s dive in.
On an entirely separate and no less chaotic note, someone listed a bag of air from the first listening event on eBay for $3,333.33. This, unfortunately, checks out.At some point throughout all this, Drake entered the chat. After he tossed a few Kanye-targeted lines into a song by an artist named Trippie Redd, Kanye posted a screenshot of a group text to which he had just added Pusha T . The messages? An image of Joaquin Phoenix as the Joker, and a text promising that Drake “will never recover.
Once the album did emerge, Kanye wrote on Instagram that Universal released the entire project without his permission, and that it tried to leave “Jail Part 2” off the album. The second part, at the very least, is true: “Jail Part 2” was not included in the initial release, though it became available later in the day.
Further confusion involved Ariana Grande, who was briefly credited on Genius for the title track, “Donda,” but who it turns out was just misidentified. She was kind enough to tag the actual provider of the vocals, an artist named Stalone.
That’s Ye to you. kanyewest
