Hit-Boy speaks on his relationship with Kanye West.
Hit-Boy says he hasn’t been a fan of Kanye West for a while now, although the two have previously worked together in the past. He reveals that Ye’ admitted to not picking his beats because he works with the Queen Bey. He writes, “I haven’t been a fan of Kanye on a personal/ human level since he told me face to face he stopped picking my beats because I worked with Beyoncé. this is after I produced niggas in paris , clique, and a myriad of other songs / projects for him and his label GOOD Music in the 2 years I was signed with them.”

Hit-Boy shared a tweet Kanye left off about record labels Universal and Sony. Ye’ refers to the music industry and NBA as “modern day slave ships,” and Hit-Boy agrees. “This tweet is something I can agree with though. @umpg has held me in what the last 3 lawyers Ive hired have referred to as the “worst publishing contact they’ve ever seen” since I was 19 years old. Im 33 now and have multiple Grammys, produced a lot of your favorite artists biggest songs on top of turning in over 450+ records since I first signed and @umpg still doesnt have it in them to simply be fair. If they’re doing this to me with all I’ve accomplished through hard work I can only imagine the kids who don’t have big placements/ proper guidance..”
He ends with saving, “Btw I produced 10+ joints on the CURRENT number one album in the country D2…” and that “Slave deals are still very real /rampant in 2020.”
