Kanye West took to social media to share a video peeing on a Grammy Award trophy and leak his entire music contract with Def Jam. This has been an extremely rocky year for the rapper and music producer. In 2020 alone, Kanye has started a political campaign to run for President of the United States, worked on an oft-delayed and yet-unreleased album, exposed his real relationship with the Kardashian-Jenner family . During one of his rallies, presidential candidate Kanye also exposed to the press and the public that he and Kim Kardashian West had considered aborting their first child.
Get Out. Overall, the Kardashian-Jenner clan has not shared too much information on this matter. Kim has asked the public and the press to respect Kanye's privacy and have empathy for his bipolar disorder diagnosis. With that said, the musician hasn't made it easy for the media to ignore him. Instead, he has been regularly sharing controversial statements, pictures, and videos for a few months now.
This Wednesday, September 16, Kanye West has taken to social media to share a few thoughts, videos, and documents. In a series of tweets (seen below), the rapper shared a video of someone - perhaps Kanye himself - wearing Adidas Yeezy shoes and peeing on a Grammy Award trophy that was placed inside a toilet. Furthermore, Kanye leaked his entire music contract with The Island Def Jam Music Group. This is the umbrella company that oversees both Island Records and Def Jam Recordings, which were formerly two separate labels. Kanye leaked pages and pages of his contract with Def Jam. Given that this very public leak is a major breach of contract, the rapper is essentially breaking his deal with the label. Kanye West justified the leak saying, "This moment is going to change the music industry for good." He then urged Bono, Paul McCartney, Drake, Kendrick Lamar, and Taylor Swift to help him with this movement.
This is yet another moment where Kanye West is making headlines for his controversial behavior. The Keeping Up With The Kardashian family has navigated these situations with calculated PR moves, but it's not likely that their relationship with Kanye will withstand so many instances where he exposes not only himself but also his family and their wellbeing. All in all, the fans are hoping that Kanye can find himself in a better place where he can make a difference in the world without causing so much damage to his career and personal life.
There's no guarantee that this will be the last series of controversial tweets that the media will see from Kanye West in 2020. Moreover, it is very likely that The Island Def Jam Music Group will issue a formal statement in reaction to this major breach of contract.
