We are waking up to Kanye West’s new album, “Donda 2.” It’s number 1 on iTunes.
This is despite West’s virulent antisemitism, obsessions with Hitler, gross behavior with his, and his recent confession of gay incest with a cousin until he was 14.
Will “Donda” remain at number 1 after the first flush of release?
This version of Donda 2 is actually the second one. The first came in 2022. It consists of unreleased material from the original Donda 2, outtakes and remakes. One of the songs is called “Heil Hitler.”
Kanye himself posted a take down letter from Free Maiden, a music group run by DeAndre “Free” Maiden, that says he hasn’t cleared samples on the album and owes their producers fees for three years for previous work. They say: “He’s owed us $ for almost 3 years now, has refused to pay yet keeps stealing our work.”
When the album was released to streaming services on Wednesday it was removed. But it’s back up on iTunes and conscience – free Spotify. Tim Cook must be so proud. (Neither service includes the “Heil Hitler” song.)

Kanye can’t post on Instagram, where he’s banned for all his offensive and frankly, disgusting posts. But he’s more than welcome on Twitter X, owned by Elon Musk, where he runs a kind of ghost account that is not easily found because it has a yellow check mark, meaning it’s a Verified Account for which West pays Musk top dollar..
Here’s an example of a post from yesterday:
Kanye West is vile and shouldn’t be remunerated for anything he releases. Yet, here were are at 7:30am.
Among the songs is “Security,” which begins with an attack on ex wife Kim Kardashian and her mother, Kris Jenner over visitation with their children.
