It’s only entertainment!
Kanye West sat down with DJ Akademiks for a raw and unfiltered interview, airing out his issues with some of the biggest names in his life and the industry. He didn’t hold back on Jay-Z and Beyoncé, hinting at a deeper fallout while making it clear that the relationship isn’t what it used to be.
He also touched on his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, calling out the control and influence surrounding her public image and how it affected his family. Kanye even had words for Pusha T, implying there’s been distance ever since the fallout with Adidas and the broader industry politics that came with it.
Beyond personal grievances, Ye took aim at the entertainment world as a whole, exposing what he sees as the industry’s gatekeeping and manipulation. He spoke on being blackballed, the power struggles behind the scenes, and how he refuses to conform, even when it costs him deals and relationships. His energy was a mix of frustration and conviction, making it clear that he’s still standing on his principles no matter who it upsets.
