Kanye West has been on a multi-day Twitter spree with a focus on artists owning their own masters for the past few days.
And like several artists before him, Trippie Redd is all the way here for it.
In a video shared to his Instagram Story on Wednesday (September 16), Trippie sent a PSA to Ye to get in touch with him.
“Hey man I’m wit Kanye,” he began. “Tell Kanye hit me up, man. I’m wit all that. All that shit he talking right now? Hit me up. Hit my line, jack. Fa sho.”
While sharing over 100 pages of his own record contracts with Universal Music Group/Sony, Ye has taken on what he says is a God-given mission to bring major change to the music industry.
“THIS MOMENT IS GOING TO CHANGE THE MUSIC INDUSTRY FOR GOOD,” Kanye tweeted. “I FEEL SO HUMBLED AND BLESSED THAT GOD HAS PUT ME IN A STRONG ENOUGH PETITION TO DO THIS … EVERYONE KEEP PRAYING … ITS WORKING … I AM ON MY KNEES THIS MORNING.”

He’s also claiming Universal is holding his masters hostage.
“UNIVERSAL WONT TELL ME WHAT MY MASTERS COST BECAUSE THEY KNOW I CAN AFFORD TO BUY THEM,” he wrote. “OK GUYS CHECK THIS OUT … I DONT HAVE A CONTRACT WITH UNIVERSAL … I HAVE TEN Rolling on the floor laughing THEY TRY TO BURRY US ALIVE.”
Trippie isn’t the only artist supporting Kanye, as Westside Gunn and Hit-Boy have also co-signed his sentiments – though Hit-Boy’s came with the added information that he’s not a fan of the Jesus Is King creator personally. Big Sean volunteered his contract to be reviewed by his G.O.O.D. Music boss, but he hasn’t said anything further.
Kanye is leading the lemmings off the cliff. They truly dumb to believe he cares about any one but himself. Congrats u played urself trippie, hitboy , logic, j cole .. u think a billionaire maga stan wants to help u lmmfao
Cole own his masters my G lol
Sounds like he thought about the proposal and looked it over with a lawyers before signing. I love multi millionaires crying about “slavery” and “systematic racism.” If it does exist, it’s not working. How are you more wealth the 99% of the populos? SMH.
Facts bro. Other day this clown was comparing NBA contracts to slavery. Shit gimme $7.7 mil and call me Toby.
But they signed a contract knowing they would not own their masters. So if that was a problem to begin with, either include that clause in the contract. If either side cannot reach an amicable agreement, then don’t sign the contract and find another company to sign to that will give you ownership of your masters or go independent.
Another delusional idiot upset he signed a contract. Don’t sign the contract, be a Soundcloud rapper, and fade into obscurity. Prince and Kanye were both multi-millionaires with high power lawyers when they signed contracts they didn’t like in retrospect. You sold the car dumb-dumb. Don’t complain about what you got paid for it now.
Kanye was NO millionaire when he signed the original contract to Roc-a-Fella that Kanye’s “friend” Jay-Z and Damon Dash were offering Kanye.
Kanye was just a dude from Chicago that made a few nice beats.
Kanye is STILL tied to that original contract and Jay-Z had a HUGE payday when he sold Roc-a-Fella and Kanye’s contract and Kanye as a slave and Kanye’s catalog and masters with it to EMI/Universal which are owned by Vivendi/Sony.
Jay-Z is a slave trader.
Listen idiot.. you signed these contracts. Now keep to your word and stop thinking you are making sense.
Kanye be like:
Hey, how ya doing… sorry you can’t get through.
Kanye is a bitch. He had me banned from fb for 7 days for an innocuous comment!
