Charlamagne Tha God Details Recent Conversation With Kanye West: ‘What You’re Not Telling People is That You Negotiated With Def Jam … Four Different Times’

Although Kanye West revealed that he was diagnosed with a bipolar disorder, his rants always raise eyebrows because he conveniently announces the release of a new project around the same time.

But this time he has been promoting his crippling Presidential campaign and attacking the music industry.

Predatory music contracts have been a recurring topic during the quarantine and Ye revisited it when criticizing his own deal with Universal. Charlamagne Tha God weighed in on the rapper’s rant on his Brilliant Idiots podcast and revealed that they recently spoke.

“I spoke to Kanye this week,” he said. “And like I told Kanye, I hope that this conversation you’re having isn’t a self-serving conversation. I said yes, very true, these record contracts are exploitive. But what you’re not telling people is that you negotiated with Def Jam universal four different times. And you chose the money over your masters every single time. And you’re not telling people that you own the masters of Yeezus and every album of yours after that. And you weren’t telling the people that you owned the artists on GOOD Music’s masters as well, at least half of them.”

“It’s like yo, if you’re going to have this conversation, tell the whole truth,” he continues. “Put it all on the table. If you took the money over the masters cause you wanted to do something, you wanted to buy a house, you wanted to stunt, who knows — but you did. So let’s have that conversation. And I told this to him. He said slavery is a choice. People can flip those words on you and say signing these records deals is a choice too. I just want him to have the whole conversation.”

Elsewhere in the conversation, co-host, Andrew Schultz praised Donald Trump for speaking highly of himself while simultaneously playing the victim. “They’re the same person,” laughs Charla. “Most narcissists are like that. They claim to be the greatest, they have an overinflated sense of self, but then they are simultaneously always a victim. Kanye is both positively brilliant and ‘what a fuckin’ idiot.’ Like we said last week, we should rebel against the exploitative contracts in the music industry.”
