Kanye West Speaks Of Why He Threw The Mic At His “Donda 2” Event In Miami
He revealed “Yeah, it wasn’t really about the sound, it was the fact that one thing I was told was that I had to write ‘performance’ on the piece,” he said in an interview.
“But what I was giving you guys was performance art. I did these listening sessions when I dropped my album where I put a mask on and I gave you this listening session and it’s an installation. And they basically forced me to mix Taco Bell and KFC. They basically forced me to mix tequila with cognac,” Yeezy added.
At the event, he spoke of his focus on Stem Player and also the choice to tweet about the contract excerpts. He said he always fought for individuality and the event made him frustrated by also adding “So right when I did the song and I saw myself grabbing this mic and it wasn’t my original idea, I was like, ‘I’m gonna throw this mic. Why am I doing this?’ I’m in control of me.
He had the audacity to sell out 50,000 seats of a stadium in 5 days, and then to be told by a promoter, ‘Still grab that mic, boy.’ I ain’t grabbing the mic if I don’t have to grab the mic,” the rapper added.
