Kanye West presented both DaBaby and shock rocker Marilyn Manson to the audience at his Donda listening party in Chicago last August as a statement on cancel culture. Manson then showed up at Ye’s Sunday Service in November 2021, looking at ease among the crowd shrouded in all white.
But it appears Kanye’s relationship with Manson goes deeper than just publicity stunts. Not only did Manson’s voice appear on the album track “Jail, Pt. 2,” he’s also contributing to the impending Donda sequel. In article from Rolling Stone posted on Monday (January 31), Donda 2 producer Digital Nas said, “I see Marilyn a lot in the studio. Like, every day I go to the studio, Marilyn in there working on Donda 2.
He continued, “He doesn’t want Marilyn to play rap beats. He wants Marilyn to play what he makes, and then Ye will take parts of that and sample parts of that and use parts of that, like he did [generally when making] Yeezus. He has some producers from Yeezus working on Donda 2 this time around, [as well as] Marilyn, me, [and] a bunch of producers from Donda 1.”
As pointed out by Loudwire, the unlikely collaboration comes as Marilyn Manson continues to face numerous sexual assault allegations. Manson’s ex-girlfriend, actress Evan Rachel Woods, claimed in her new Phoenix Rising documentary Manson had “essentially raped” her on the set of the music video shoot for “Heart-Shaped Glass,” which his attorney denied.
In May 2021, Ashley Walters, one of the Manson accusers who joined Wood in publicizing their allegations three months prior, filed a lawsuit against the musician for sexual assault and harassment. More recently, Manson was accused of racism, manipulation and false imprisonment in what he called a “Bad Girls Room.”

But Digital Nas explained Kanye West has empathy for Marilyn Manson, saying, “Ye is coming from a standpoint of like, ‘We all make mistakes.’ I think that’s maybe why he had DaBaby and Marilyn at that one show. I’m just assuming it is from a standpoint of like, ‘We’re all sinners. We all make mistakes.’ We shouldn’t point the finger at someone for the mistakes they’ve made or something like that.”
Donda 2 is expected to arrive on February 22, but no one will be surprised if he doesn’t drop on time. After all, it took months for the final version of Donda to finally reach the masses.
That’s dope as fuck. Nobody cares about people working with people like Chris Brown, who beat up Rihanna. But since Marilyn is white, that’s why he is the bad guy here. And because Kanye dared to support Trump.
Or because there are people who simply don’t like creeps.
I think he is off the rails with a lot of stuff but I do appreciate how Kanye doesn’t fold to pressure with stuff like supporting Trump or guilt until innocent allegations
Dude is a freak into freaky shit. Girls hook up with them, get kicked to the curb, then want to sue. His name is MANSON for fucks sake. Don’t date a guy named Old Dirty Bastard and expect a walk in the park, yoga and missionary sex.
Literally no excuse under the sun for any of the horrorific things Manson has done. Not even in a hypothetical situation where a bitch would be like fuck yeah Manson Daddy ruin my life. And I know people that know him and he’s even more fucked up than anyone’s been able to surface. And Kanye West is a completely overrated delusional nimrod. Victim blame much.
Hahaha. Victim blame? What CRIME has Manson been charged with? I’ll wait. Oh… That’s right. He is facing one CIVIL SUIT. Wow. The same as Cosby and R. Kelly? Oh… No. they faced a lite y of CRIMINAL CHARGES and were CONVICTED BY A JURY OF THEIR PEERS! Weird… Stupid much? You’re the VICTIM of a crime when a crime occurred. No one has even been CHARGED! Hahahahaha. A U.S. SENATOR asked the FBI to investigate the allocations against him. They came back with ZERO. False accuse much? I hope someone accuses you of a crime you didn’t commit, with zero evidence and your life is ruined. Maybe you’ll learn a bit about our constitution, the bill of rights and the criminal justice system. Let me guess, you’re a white person that went out to protest the George Floyd shit though… Right? Hahahahaha. Fucking loser idiot. Owned much? Read a headline and don’t look into it and just shit out none sense without thinking first much? Oh, as far as Kanye sucking… you’re here commenting. Over 20 Grammys, a brand worth a few billion and 100 million downloads, 21 million albums sold. God you’re stupid. Don’t ever debate anyone please. I guess I’m stupid blaming much here.
Manson fell off, he has good albums like Antichrist Superstar and Mechanical Animals but that was more than 20 years ago
Little dirk is a known murderer of his own people .. King Von was a admitted murderer of his own people Jay Z is a admitted drug dealers to his own people the baby is known murderer of his own people The media does not care to cover those issues because they want us to destroy each other.. they make a big deal out of this because they just want us to trash kanye
Hey idiot! Most people murder their own people. That’s who they are around, their own people. Dumb ass. Da Baby killed someone in self defense. Relax a minute. You’re making a valid argument null and void being stupid.
Who cares Kanye’s music is wack and Manson has no talent. He screams and looks weird so he considered cool. Yall can have that corny Satanic gimmick crap. Way to much good music to concentrate on washed up pop stars music.
Kanye’s music is wack? Hahahaha. Check his catalogue dummy. Not many artists in any genre have hits like he does. Over 20 Grammys? I love the “who cares” moron that takes the time to click on an article and comment. That is caring dummy! SMH
Grammys aren’t distributed because of quality. They’re mostly popularity and recognition. While 20 Grammys is quite impressive they’re not a barometer for how good the music is.
No idiot, they are. Who absolutely sucks that has over 20 Grammys buddy? Please give me an example of a boy band… someone horrible. We’ll wait. Grammy are… shut up. You used to like Ye the way the rest of the world did then hates him for his religious and political views.
the real Marilyn will be doing gospel music lol rip Mr let bring back rock and rap superstar with kenye
