Kanye West also known as YE’ says he’s calling it quits on his music career.
In conversation with Rich The Kid, Ye’ says, “I am retiring from professional music..Not sure what else to do.”
Rich The Kid wasn’t too pleased with Ye’s message. “Retire? Why ? How ? The ppl NEED you the music you & Ty & we have made was the BIGGEST
STAMP in culture to this date..” he replies back.
In another message RTK expresses, “in 2024 Drop Ye about mine & V2 and we do it all over again the kids need you big bra fasho maybe some
time to chill but retiring ain’t it…”
We previously reported that Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign have settled their lawsuit with Donna Summer’s estate. The lawsuit was over the unauthorized use of her iconic song “I Feel Love.” The track was sampled in their song “Good (Don’t Die)” from the album Vultures 1.
Donna Summer’s estate issued a statement addressing the unauthorized use: “Kanye West asked permission to use Donna Summer song, ‘I Feel Love,’ [but] he was denied. He changed the words, had someone re-sing it, or used AI but it’s ‘I Feel Love’…copyright infringement!”
Kanye West also faced another legal issue with Vultures 1. Ozzy Osbourne criticized West for using a sample of Black Sabbath’s “Iron Man” without permission. In an Instagram post, Osbourne stated: “@KANYEWEST ASKED PERMISSION TO SAMPLE A SECTION OF A 1983 LIVE PERFORMANCE OF “IRON MAN” FROM THE US FESTIVAL WITHOUT VOCALS & WAS REFUSED PERMISSION BECAUSE HE IS AN ANTISEMITE AND HAS CAUSED UNTOLD HEARTACHE TO MANY. HE WENT AHEAD AND USED THE SAMPLE ANYWAY AT HIS ALBUM LISTENING PARTY LAST NIGHT. I WANT NO ASSOCIATION WITH THIS MAN.”
We’ll keep you updated on what Ye’ comes up with next.
