Deeming himself the musical “Moses”, Kanye West is fighting to free himself from his Universal Music Group and Sony/ATV Music Publishing contracts. The 21 Grammy Award-winning rapper posted a video with a Grammy in the toilet with someone, presumably Mr. West, urinating on the award with caption “Trust me… I WON’T STOP.”

In addition to his weeklong Twitter rant, Kanye posted all ten of his Universal contracts and referred to the music industry as “modern-day slavery”.
Here are my ten Universal contracts … I need every lawyer in the world to look at these

I forgive everyone from the music industry that is involved with modern day slavery. Vengeance is only the lords.

THIS MOMENT IS GOING TO CHANGE THE MUSIC INDUSTRY FOR GOOD … I FEEL SO HUMBLED AND BLESSED THAT GOD HAS PUT ME IN A STRONG ENOUGH POSITION TO DO THIS … EVERYONE KEEP PRAYING … ITS WORKING … I AM ON MY KNEES THIS MORNING

After calling Forbes editor and content officer Randall Lane a “white supremacist” and posting his phone number, Kanye inevitably got put in Twitter jail for violating the platform’s rules. However, former NBA player turned actor Rick Fox stepped in to let fans know that his friend was kicked off the platform.
My friend @kanyewest wants you all to know that he was kicked off of @Twitter for 12 hours

What do you think of Kanye urinating on his Grammy?
