Producer Slams Kanye for Unpaid Royalties, Quits Music
3 Oct
Summary
- Producer claims YZY deal offered no royalties or publishing.
- He cannot financially support his family due to non-payment.
- Producer announced a temporary break from social media.
Producer Digital Nas recently announced his retirement from the music industry, stemming from alleged issues with his deal with YZY. He claimed on social media that his involvement in Kanye West's albums, including "Donda," "Donda 2," and the "Vultures" installments, has not resulted in any royalties or publishing income.
Nas stated that this lack of compensation has made it difficult to financially support his family. He expressed a desire to speak with West directly about these concerns, noting that attempts to contact him through YZY had been unsuccessful. A report indicates that over 10 producers for "Vultures 1" and "Vultures 2" also lacked signed agreements, potentially preventing them from receiving payments.
Following his public statements, Digital Nas later apologized for airing the dispute online. He described the situation as 'getting handled' and announced a temporary break from social media to address the matter.
