Kanye West, known for being controversial has just brought up another surprise.

The singer, also known as Ye took a huge bet on himself and turned down a $100m offer to release Donda 2 on Apple Music.

Kanye West said that Donda 2 would only be available through his proprietary $200 Stem Player device, and wouldn’t feature on any streaming platforms. 

The rapper stated that “no one can pay me to be disrespected“:

As regards the said disrespect, no one can exactly say what had happened, however, Kanye was quoted at some point to have said;

“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,”. 

“Donda 2 will only be available on my own platform, the Stem Player,” he announced on February 17. “Not on Apple Amazon Spotify or YouTube. Today artists get just 12% of the money the industry makes. It’s time to free music from the oppressive system. It’s time to take control and build our own. Go to stemplayer.com now to order.”
