Azealia Banks is the newest entertainer to blast Kanye West over his $200 Stem Participant.

On Friday (March 11), the Harlem rapper shared her ideas on Kanye’s music participant, which is the one manner you possibly can obtain his new album, Donda 2. Responding on Instagram to a person who mentioned Ye was “on to one thing,” Banks strongly disagreed.

“He is onto completely nothing,” Banks commented “He redesigned a transportable speaker, there is no such thing as a API (utility programming interface) or appetizing UI/UX design and [it] ISN’T KANYES IDEA. It is some start-up in London referred to as Kano Expertise. Kanye simply slapped his title on it. All they’re attempting to do is promote you fancily adorned laptop chips/ raspberry pi thingys you should buy on Alibaba for [$]2.70.”

Banks went on to name Black males naive with regards to Kanye. “I want Black males would cease being so fast to consider that this man has completed something revolutionary,” the Slay-Z rapper added. “He is just like the blind dumb deaf mascot put in place for Black folks to idolize and never do their very own analysis. ITS A FUCKING PORTABLE SPEAKER/MP3 participant. It actually ought to price $30 and belongs in a Toys ‘R Us Christmas catalog that used to come back within the newspaper. @teenageengineering is FAR BEYOND on this area. Nothing in regards to the Stem Participant generates earnings for anybody however Kanye. One other non-necessity. It is full bullshit.”

Again in February, Kanye introduced he could be altering the sport by solely making his new album out there through his Stem Participant, which retails for $200. “Donda 2 will solely be out there alone platform, the Stem Participant,” he captioned a  snippet of the brand new album on Instagram. “Not on Apple Amazon Spotify or YouTube. Right this moment artists get simply 12% of the cash the business makes. It’s time to free music from this oppressive system. It’s time to take management and construct our personal. Go to stemplayer.com now to order.”

Ye later claimed he’d made $2 million in gross sales in 24 hours following the announcement. Banks is not the one particular person to name out the rapper for primarily charging $200 for his album. Slipknot vocalist Corey Taylor referred to as Kanye “a fucking moron” for the stunt.
