Kanye West a 'Scam:' Donda 2' Producer Cheated off His Paycheck?

Kanye West has been under fire recently, dealing with controversy after controversy, and his most recent album "Donda 2" is another one added to the long list.

According to reports released earlier this year, West was sued for sampling the 1986 hit "Move Your Body" at least 22 times on "Flowers," a song off "Donda 2."

Marshall Jefferson alleged that the rapper sampled the song without a license.

Another issue arose when West began making antisemitic comments, which led to several key figures in the fashion and music industry severing ties with him.

This has left West up in the air with both his music and fashion direction, as most people would rather not be associated with him.

Many questions if his partnership with Stem Player, where "Donda 2" is found, would soon come to an end as well, reports noted.

Among the people concerned about the said partnership is ATL Jacob, who was a producer for some of the songs of the unfinished album.

This comes after news of the rapper being sued for sampling yet another song unauthorized.

According to reports, Boogie Down Productions sued West for uploading "Life of the Party," a song that sampled "South Bronx" by KRS-One.

Another One

According to TMZ, Jacob could potentially have a case to sue given that the songs he worked on for the "Donda 2" album are currently available for the public to purchase and listen to, however, he is yet to be paid for his contribution to the album.

In an interview with "Vlad TV," Jacob listed the songs he produced for the album.

"Everbody was confused, like how we getting paid?" He said. "I'm still confused. If he banned from Stem Player now, how we getting paid? [sic]"

Jacob also added that most of the songs uploaded on the Stem Player are demos, "they weren't even complete. None of the songs were done. Just a lot of demos."

DJ Vlad chimed in, saying how the $200 album was not worth the money, given that it was just full of demos and it was just found online.

Despite not getting paid yet, Jacob looked on the brighter side of his experience with West.

"I ain't tripping none 'cause I learned a lot just working on them," he then added. "Just creative-wise, I learned a lot. Even businesses, too."

According to reports, other artists were also in on the controversial album, like Soulja Boy, Baby Keem, Migos, and more.
