Kanye West is having an interesting week.
Kanye posted a series of lengthy Tweets and called the music industry/sports out for being “modern-day slave ships.” He made several posts venting about his contract with Sony and Universal, in an attempt to buy back his masters from the company executives.

All Hip Hop reports CNN‘s Oliver Darcy says when Kanye Tweeted the contact information for Forbes editor and chief content officer Randall Lane, Twitter said Kanye violated their privacy rule and locked him out of his account. Kanye shared Lane’s phone number and referred to him as a white supremacist.
Also, FWIW, this is how Twitter always enforces its rules. The company hides tweets that break its rules from public view, and locks the account until the owner logs on and removes the tweet.

Former NBA star Rick Fox confirmed that his homie Kanye is locked out of his account, but didn’t say why.

I’m going all the way back independent myself after this album 🤷🏽♂️ even tho I own my music but it is time for us to start %100 owning our craft. Time for us to start pushing new agenda instead of the same with us killing our own when we got a bigger problem ‼️

YE really shouldn’t talk about slave contracts until he show us his artist contracts because we all know a artist signed under another artist, signed to a label isn’t good so I for one am curious of his artist contracts 🤷🏽♂️
