It started a couple of days ago. First, he went in on the music industry, unfair contracts, and perceived frienemies,
“I’m not industry bro… I don’t care… I’m in service to Christ… we need world healing… I miss my brothers… I refuse to argue with black men on labels we don’t own… even twitter.”

“I have the utmost respect for all brothers… we need to link and respect each other… no more dissing each other on labels we don’t own.”

“I need to see everybody’s contracts at Universal and Sony… I’m not gonna watch my people be enslaved… I’m putting my life on the line for my people… The music industry and the NBA are modern day slave ships I’m the new Moses.”

I’m not gonna watch my people be enslaved
I’m putting my life on the line for my people
The music industry and the NBA are modern day slave ships
I’m the new Moses

If you’re the type to still give credence to West’s rants, forget about any new music. He won’t be releasing anything until he is released from his contract, “I’m not putting no more music out till I’m done with my contract with Sony and Universal.”
He deleted the post soon after posting, so maybe that means new music is coming.
Then, in a rant that would make Donald Trump jealous, Ye posted his entire record contract with Universal. Page by page. Making the bizarre even more surreal, he later posted a video of his Grammy award in the toilet as he appears to urinate on it.

West capped off the tweet-fest by posting the number of Randall Forbes, the chief content officer at Forbes magazine, “If any of my fans want to call a white supremacist… this is the editor of Forbes”.
The stunt earned him a 12-hour suspension, according to friend and former Laker, Rick Fox.
My friend @kanyewest wants you all to know that he was kicked off of @Twitter for 12 hours

It’s been a long couple of days.
