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 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

Kanye also retweeted an article by BallerAlert where NBA star Kevin Durant and music executive, Steve Stoute addressed the NBA’s initiative with Black Lives Matter and why people shouldn’t vote for Kanye in the upcoming presidential election, he added a yawn emoji to the post.
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

During the Twitter rant, Kanye called for a public apology from J. Cole and Drake, and called himself, “Nat Turner” saying he was fighting for “all of us” before arguing that black men are signing with entities that aren’t owned by black people.
