FANS REACT
Shortly after he shared the post, Kanye’s fans rushed to the comments section to slam the rapper for not making the album available everywhere.
One person wrote: “Nah that’s bulls**t.”
Another insisted: “I’M NOT BUYING THAT.”
A third Instagram user chimed in: “bro what is ur problem?”
The backlash continued as another upset fan commented: “Still not buying one ye I’m sorry can’t justify spending $200 for 1 album.”
DEFENDING HIS CHOICE
While sharing another photo on Instagram that showed Donda 2 was trending on Twitter, the rapper explained: “Go to stemplayer.com to be a part of the revolution I feel that same feeling like when I first moved to New York to make it in Music.
“I ain’t know what was gonna happen but I knew had to move. After 10 albums after being under 10 contracts. I turned down a hundred million dollar Apple deal. No one can pay me to be disrespected. We set our own price for our art.
“Tech companies made music practically free so if you don’t do merch sneakers and tours you don’t eat. Jay Z made Tidal and fake media attacked him.
“Well in the words of my big brother. Come and get me. I’m willing to die standing cause I ain’t living on my knees no more.”
Kanye continued: “God please cover me. I run this company 100% I don’t have to ask for permission. This is our 2nd generation stemplayer We have more things we working on. I feel like how I felt in the first episode of the documentary.”
He continued to defend the decision by sharing a screenshot of an article that summarized the announcement.
Kanye wrote in the caption that he “feels alive” for “the first time in a long time.”
APOLOGIZING TO KIM
The rapper made the announcement just days after he issued a public apologized to his ex-wife Kim Kardashian, 41, and her new man Pete Davidson, 28.
Alongside a photo of him performing, Kanye wrote: “I’ve learned that using all caps makes people feel like I’m screaming at them. I’m working on my communication.
“I can benefit from a team of creative professionals, organizers, mobilizers and community leaders.”
After he thanked “everybody for supporting” him, the rapper continued: “I know sharing screen shots was jarring and came off as harassing Kim.
“I take accountability. I’m still learning in real time.”
The apology concluded: “I don’t have all the answers. To be good leader is to be a good listener.”
CALLING OUT PETE
The apology came after he made a number of nasty claims about the Saturday Night Live star.
In one post, Kanye called the comedian a “d**khead” and accused him of “destroying” their family.
The KUWTK alum and Kanye, who were married for nearly seven years, share kids North, eight; Saint, six; Chicago, four; and Psalm, two.
Kanye also threatened to “beat Pete’s a**” and declared “war” on him.
