Kanye West Upsets Fans By Announcing ‘Donda 2’ Will Only Be Released On $200 Stem Player

Corey Taylor has called Kanye West a “fucking moron” over the rapper’s decision to make ‘DONDA 2’ available exclusively through his Stem Player.Released last month, West’s 11th studio album – a direct follow-up to last year’s ‘DONDA’ – can currently only be accessed via his $200 (£150) device, which was created by the star’s Yeezy Tech enterprise.Four tracks from the record were made available to Stem Player owners on February 23 following a listening party and live performance in Miami the night before. An additional four songs arrived the next day, with a further 12 cuts landing on February 25.During a recent interview with Metro.co.uk, Slipknot frontman Taylor suggested that West’s method of putting out ‘DONDA 2’ was out of touch with his audience.“It’s like releasing all the parts for a car and sending them to people’s houses and going there, you got a free car, now you’ve got to figure out how to build the goddamn thing,” Taylor told the outlet.“You’re assuming that the audience has the access and same technology that you have but you’re a fucking moron for doing that.

Kanye West’s new album, ‘DONDA 2’ has been ruled ineligible for inclusion in the Billboard charts.As West, who is now officially known as ‘ye’, decided to sell his album exclusively via his Stem Player device, it violates Billboard’s merchandise bundle policy. As per an article in Billboard, albums sold with merchandise are ineligible for inclusion.The album – West’s 11th, and a direct follow-up to last year’s ‘Donda’ – is only available exclusively via the platform and unique to the $200 (£150) device made by the rapper’s Yeezy Tech enterprise.Four songs from the record – ‘Security’, ‘Pablo’, ‘Broken Road’ and ‘We Did It Kid’ – were made available to Stem Player owners on Wednesday (February 23), following a listening party and live performance in Miami the night prior.

Ricky Velez may be a comedian, but he took to his Instagram to make clear when it comes to good friend Pete Davidson, threats are no laughing matter. In a now-deleted story, Ricky, who starred alongside Pete in his semi-autobiographical 2020 film The King of Staten Island, shared his thoughts on Kanye West‘s social media attacks on Pete. Emphasizing that Kanye’s actions weren’t “funny or entertaining,” Ricky wrote: “a 44 year old man internet thugging is just sad.”
