Kanye West has a controversial life; however, he has a very successful career. Since Ye, many fans were expecting a new album or single, finally getting “Donda.” Even after Kanye’s many controversies, the album is a boom and has made history.
There is a lot to say about this album because of Kanye’s declarations about it and its collaborations. Fans respond with mixed reactions, having many defenders and many haters, and with good reasons. We will explain why this is happening and why many people either love it or hate it.
The success behind Donda, explained
Kanye, as a musician, has a really incredible career in the music industry with huge albums like college dropout. After “Donda” was out, it hit Apple Music’s top album in 130 countries, which means it’s the album that reached #1 in most countries in history. After many delays, his fans were anxious for his new music, explaining why it was so big since the beginning.
The controversies
Kanye claimed on Sunday that the album got out by his label, UMG, without his approval. The artist still wanted to make some changes, and one of his songs, “Jail pt. 2” was blocked from being included. If you want to hear the song, you can still find it on Apple and Spotify, but not in the physical record.
That is the first of many controversies behind the album and its collaborations. Many fans of the artist said that we should “separate the art from its maker,” but there are many people who aren’t so tolerant. Even though most of the musicians in the record don’t have accusations, some of them have really big ones.
Some of the biggest names on the record have already cultivated the hate of many people. Marylin Manson, Chris Brown, and DaBaby are the ones who might be the worst names on the album, according to fans. In case you don’t know, Marylin Manson is accused of rape and sexually and psychologically abusing several women.
On the other hand, DaBaby recently made homophobic remarks during a performance, which spark hate through many communities. Finally, Chris Brown raised hate after he pleaded guilty to abusing Rihanna. Both names are featuring in “Donda” as composers, collaboratiors, and more.
