Fans have responded to Kanye West’s announcement that Donda 2 will only be available on his Stem Streaming platform.

Alternatively, fans who want to stream the latest version of Ye and haven’t picked one yet may want to put aside $200 for Stem Player, because that’s the only way they can hear its latest release.

The Stem Player, a collaboration between West and first released with Ye “Donda” album last year. The player not only allows fans to listen to the music but also allows them to manipulate it in real time. Hardcore fans who didn’t pick up the device last year, though, have only a few days to jump on board before “Donda 2” drops.

“Today, artists only get 12 percent of the money the industry makes,” Yi explained in a new post on his Instagram. “It’s time to free music from this oppressive system. It’s time to take control and build our own.”

Then he directed his fans to stem player The website where they can order the unique device. The round object was a collaborative project between Ye and Kano Computing.

It has four light bars running from the center outwards, through which fans can handle the different “stems” of the track, such as drum beat, bass line, or vocals. “Donda” came preloaded on the device upon its original release.

This isn’t the first time Yi has claimed that the album will be exclusive to one platform. In 2016, he said that his version of “The Life of Pablo” will only be available in Jay Z Platform “tides” forever. Two months later it appeared on other platforms.

As he did several times in the past few days, Ye once again cleaned up his Instagram page before posting the Stem Player component of his upcoming album. The rapper got involved in a very public show Kim kardashian And the Pete Davidson relationship.

after underestimated “Saturday Night Live” Star, calling him out in several since-deleted posts, unexpectedly attacked him with a lavish Valentine’s Day gift while criticizing his parenting choices, Yi backed down and said he thinks, learns in real time, and takes responsibility.

The climax seemed to come after he shared screenshots of a private chat conversation with Kardashian in which she said she was worried his behavior might cause someone to try to hurt Davidson. Then I called him to share their conversation publicly.

“I’m working on my connection,” he shared in a post that has been deleted since Tuesday. “I can benefit from a team of creative professionals, organizers, mobilizers and community leaders. Thank everyone for their support. I know sharing screenshots was annoying and came as annoyance to Kim. I take responsibility.”

For her part, Kardashian has mostly kept quiet, focusing instead on co-parenting with Yi since filing for divorce on February 19, 2021. Yi has struggled over the past year with their relationship ending, despite his recent high-profile relationship with Yi. Julia Fox.

When Ye dropped the “Donda 2” bomb Thursday night ahead of the album’s release next week, the response was immediate on Twitter, with most fans shocked and buzzing over the $200 price tag for his new album.
