In an explosive revelation that’s shaking the music world, iconic rapper Kanye West has issued a stern wake-up call to American artists, urging them to step up their game and emulate the business brilliance of Nigerian musicians. West, known for his no-holds-barred opinions, dropped these fiery remarks during a candid conversation with DJ Akademiks, where he unapologetically criticized the lack of financial savvy among U.S. rappers.
The 47-year-old music mogul didn’t mince words as he slammed American Artists for their failure to grasp the legal and financial intricacies of the industry, often relying on foreign expertise to steer their careers. “Until motherfuckers can really get their stuff together like the Nigerians, the Chinese, the Jewish, or the tech Indian, everything I’m saying counts,” West declared, leaving no stone unturned.
Calling out the industry’s structural flaws, West painted a troubling picture of financial vulnerability within the American Music sphere, lambasting artists for their overdependence on managers, lawyers, and record labels instead of building independent empires. “Artists are dumb, bro. It’s like they can’t even fucking count, bro. Jewish people and lawyers run their whole shit—the contracts, the setups, etc.,” he said, firing shots at the industry’s deep-rooted reliance on external control.
As if that wasn’t enough, West challenged the status quo, daring American artists to run a record label or television network without Jewish funding or investors—a bold critique that will undoubtedly stir heated debates across the entertainment world.
Known for his ability to simultaneously inspire and ignite controversy, Kanye West’s remarks have cast a glaring spotlight on the need for transformation in the American music industry. Whether artists will heed his audacious advice or push back against it remains the billion-dollar question.
