Charlamagne The God Blasts Kanye's 'DONDA 2' Streaming Move, Here's Why

Since the release of DONDA 2 last week, Ye and the album were met with various criticisms stemming from his listening party's technical difficulties up until the availability of his tracks on his chosen streaming partner.

Notably, Ye has made some pretty straightforward decisions on where "DONDA 2" will be accessible to the rapper's fans.

He announced earlier this month that his "DONDA 2" album would only be available at Stem Player, swiping at major streaming programs Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon music.

Ye's decision to pull out on the major streaming platforms came on the heels of the highly debated artists' music rates implemented on the streaming giants.

"Today, artists get just 12% of the money the industry makes. It's time to free music from this oppressive system. It's time to take control and build our own," Ye wrote on a separate now-deleted Instagram post.

Ye's decision to release his music on an exclusive platform was not the first of its kind.

He released his 2016 hit "Life of Pablo" solely on TIDAL but released the entire tracklist two months later on Spotify and Apple Music.

Fans and Ye's followers have mixed feelings on this decision, as most of his audience uses tha major streaming platform.

Charlamagne Tha God, who has been aiming the "DONDA" hitmaker for quite a while now, has something to say with Ye's decision.

Not 'smart' if you're selling music

From asking fans to "stop dick riding the dysfunction" to describing Ye's "Eazy" Pete Davidson verse "corny as hell," Charlamagne The God is on Ye's "beef list."

Well, if fans think that the two might resolve each other's differences soon, Charlamagne Tha God's recent comment might stray them from each other further apart.

In a new Brilliant Idiots episode, Charlamagne was skeptical of Ye's decision to release his new album on Stem Player.

"It's smart if you selling tech, it's not smart if you selling music," he said.

The Breakfast Club host proceeded on aiming Ye, explaining that one must be at a "certain caliber of an artist," to which he believes Ye is not, to make someone buy something for 200 dollars.

"If I'm an artist I don't know why I would be celebrating that, it's not like they paid $200 for music, they paid $200 for a Stem Player. How does this revolutionize the music industry?," he continued.

As usual, Ye's loyal fans went after Charlamagne, to the point that a 2013 clip of the DJ dismissing Ye's ambition to put up Yeezy has resurfaced.

Now, Ye' Yeezy footwear empire and Stem Player's 1-week revenue puts the rapper's 2022 net worth to 1.8 billion.
