Digital Nas has publicly apologized to Kanye West (Ye) for past claims about royalty and publishing payments. Nas, a producer who contributed to West's albums including Donda and the Vultures series, had previously stated he received no royalties for his work.

His earlier statements, made in November 2025, had advised aspiring musicians against the industry, citing his own negative experiences. He claimed to have received no compensation for tracks dating back to the 2021 Donda album, as well as Vultures 1 and Vultures 2.
