Kanye West has added to his list of demands.
After requesting public apologies from Drake and J. Cole, and a meeting with JAY-Z in a Twitter tirade on Monday (September 14), Kanye has now added yet another name to the list, Kendrick Lamar.
“We need Me J Cole Drake Kendrick all in a room 2gthr … it’s time to get free,” he wrote. “We will not argue amongst each other while somebody we don’t know in Europe is getting paid and putting that money in a hedge fund.”
Hours later he elaborated, emphasizing his earlier points about the importance of owning your own masters for an artist. He also showed he was serious about the meeting.
