You might remember that a few months back, Kanye West was supposed to release his next album DONDA but the supposed release date came and went without a word and we haven’t heard anything about it since. Tonight on Twitter, Ye takes to Twitter to provide somewhat of an update.
I’m not putting no more music out till I’m done with my contract with Sony and Universal … On God … in Jesus name … come and get me

I need a publicly apology from J Cole and Drake to start with immediately … I’m Nat Turner … I’m fighting for us

He announced that he wasn’t going to be putting out any music until he was out of his contract with Sony and Universal. If that wasn’t a big enough moment for him, he then went on to request public apologies from Drake and J. Cole, presumably for what he interprets as disses from each of them in their music. Drake seemed to be taking shots at Ye as recently as ‘Laugh Now Cry Later‘ and Cole had some subliminal lines in ‘MIDDLE CHILD‘ and of course, ‘False Prophets’. This isn’t the first time he’s addressed the pair either. In this snippet, he seemed to take shots at them.
In the following tweets, he also mentioned that he was trying to reach out to JAY-Z and called for ownership in deals like Travis’ with McDonald’s. Check out the tweets below.
I’m not industry bro … I don’t care… I’m in service to Christ … we need world healing … I miss my brothers… I refuse to argue with black men on labels we don’t own… even twitter

I have the utmost respect for all brothers … we need to link and respect each other… no more dissing each other on labels we don’t own

I’m sure Steve Stoute was hurt that he didn’t do the McDonald’s deal … Steve’s a good man Trav is a good man … my brothers let’s rise up … we don’t even own these companies

Let’s stop killing each other … let’s show God that we are Gods people … my ego gets the best of me too… God doesn’t measure us by money in his kingdom … let’s love each other… I love my brothers and I miss my friends … real talk

Last year in January, he had sued his publishing company EMI as well as Def Jam and Universal over terms of his original contract.
