In Kanye’s most recent Twitter rant, he began to call out the music industry. He said he was going to upload his contracts with Universal Records.
“Here are my ten Universal contracts … I need every lawyer in the world to look at these,” Kanye tweeted this before tweeting over 100 pages of legal documents.

The rant didn’t stop there, Kanye referred to the industry as a form of “modern-day slavery.”
Kanye then urinated on one of his Grammy trophies that he had placed in a toilet with “I won’t stop” written above the video.
People think Kanye just be rambling, but he really is speaking some knowledge. The summary of all his recent tweets was to basically warn artists about bad contracts.
90% of the record contracts on the planet are still on a royalty A standard record deal is a trap to NEVER have you recoup, and there’s all these hidden costs like the “distribution fees” many labels put in their contracts to make even more money off our work without even trying.

One of his tweets were removed by Twitter for violating the social media platform’s rules.
The since-deleted tweet included the phone number of an editor for Forbes magazine, and the caption “If any of my fans want to call a white supremacist… this is the editor of Forbes.”
After hours of ranting and tweeting, Kanye landed himself in twitter jail for 12 hours for violating the terms and conditions. Rick Fox tweeted to let everyone know.
My friend @kanyewest wants you all to know that he was kicked off of @Twitter for 12 hours
