Kanye West scrapped whole album after slavery controversy
- 6 years ago
Kanye West scrapped a whole album after he came under fire last month for admitting he was addicted to opioids and his controversial comments about slavery.
The 'Bound 2' hitmaker dropped his seven-track LP 'Ye' last week, but he has revealed he was forced to rewrite a few of the tracks, rework some bars and completely ditch tracks in the run-up to the release after he realised his outspoken lyrics may offend people because of the uproar he caused when he declared in an interview with TMZ last month that slavery was a "choice" for black people.
The 40-year-old rapper has been praised for his "personal" album but he's adamant all of his songs come from his heart because he tries to find his "voice" in the studio.
