Kanye West Claims Michael Jackson & Prince Were Killed In His Masters Ownership Theory
Kanye West Reveals Hes On A Mission To Fight For Artists In His Recent Twitter Rant, Calls Out Universal & Sony
Kanye West has been using his platfom to create awareness on an unpopular form of slavery in the music industry. And he’s ready to fight for other artists who are in shackles unknowingly to them.
Ye claims he will no longer be releasing music until he’s out of his lifelong deal with Sony/ATV and Universal, the Jesus Is King artist started reaching out to the billionaires behind the record companies to pitch a new system that birthed companies like Airbnb and more, which would make contracts more transparent.
During his stream of consciousness last night, which continued into this morning, Kanye said that he is the “only person” that can speak on such a topic and actually command change because he has made billions of dollars outside of music. He also insinuated that Michael Jackson and Prince were both killed because they had ownership of their masters.
In the streaming world master ownership is everything… that is the bulk of the income … in COVID artist need our masters … it’s more important than ever before

“The artist deserve to own our masters … artist are starving without tours … Ima go get our masters … for all artist … pray for me,” wrote the Chicago native in one of his tweets before making the suggestion about MJ and Prince. “Let’s get it big bro … you and Michael passed so we can live,” he posted with a picture of Prince.
He also touched on how artists have no control of their actual music after signing a deal, saying: “When you sign a music deal you sign away your rights. Without the masters you can’t do anything with your own music. Someone else controls where it’s played and when it’s played. Artists have nothing accept the fame, touring and merch.”
“We’ve gotten comfortable with not having what we deserve … they allow us to have a little money from touring get some gold chains some alcohol some girls and fake numbers that feed our egos … but we don’t own our masters,” West continued this morning.

“We our supporting other people’s kids … we could spend our whole life in the music industry but our kids gotta go work for another company when they grow up. I am the only person who can speak on this because I made multi billions outside of music no musicians make billions inside of music I’m going to change this.
“I know a lot of musicians are not allowed to say anything but I can’t be muted or cancelled so I’m going to say everything as always.”
