Kanye West Scoffs At Non-Humanitarian Moves: ‘Do Not Ask Me To Do A Fucking NFT’
January 31, 2022
Kanye West interrupted his iPhone break and work on Donda 2 to send out a PSA to all of his followers on Instagram. Don’t expect to see Yeezy NFTs (non-fungible tokens) anytime soon.
The Chicago-bred billionaire posted a handwritten note to his Instagram on Monday (January 31) disparaging the trendy digital ledger as he only wants to work on “real products” impacting planet earth.
“My focus is on building real products in the real world,” he wrote in Sharpie marker. “Real world real food real shelter Do not ask me to do a fucking NFT. Ye ask me later.”
Yeezy didn’t totally shut the door on the NFT industry when he clarified that’s just not his focus right now.
“STOP ASKING ME TO DO NFT’s I’M NOT FINNA CO-SIGN,” he continued in the caption. “FOR NOW I’M NOT ON THAT WAVE I MAKE MUSIC AND PRODUCTS IN THE REAL WORLD.” “Eazy” partner The Game backed Kanye’s claims by adding a “fuck em” in the comment section, while
Kanye West collaborators such as
Eminem, Post Malone,
Lil Baby and Lil Yachty have all dabbled in the NFT world.
Thank you
@Eminem for buying my ape and joining the club!
Madness. Let me write a lyric in your next single ????

December 31, 2021 Kanye previously claimed he was giving up using his phone until the release of his
Donda 2 sequel, which is
expected to arrive on February 22. Producer
Digital Nas laid out some of the instructions Ye gave him in the studio when it came to the quality of work he’s expecting for the project.
“If it cannot be played at a funeral, childbirth, graduation, a wedding, it will not be on our record,” he said. “We learned a lot from
DONDA 1. We learned what hit. We learned what was sticking. So we took from there. It has to be able to be played at four major moments in people’s lives.”
