American rapper Kanye West has shared his thoughts on the music industry, suggesting that American rappers could benefit from learning from their Nigerian counterparts.
In an interview with DJ Akademiks, West expressed his concerns about the lack of business acumen among American rappers.
He stated that many American rappers rely heavily on outsiders, particularly those from Jewish backgrounds, to manage the legal and business aspects of their careers.h
West challenged American rappers to take control of their own businesses and learn from other successful entrepreneurs, including those from Nigeria.
He aired, “None of these n*ggas [rappers] are as smart as me. I can’t say for at the least, the tech dudes. That’s some other sh*t. But artists are dumb, bro. It’s like, they can’t even f*cking count, bro. Jewish people and lawyer run their whole sh*t [businesses] like the contracts, the setups etc.
“Okay, go and ask them to run a whole record label without a Jewish person, I will take back what I had to say. Go and set up your whole TV network, and make it run, no Jewish investor let me see how that works.
“Until motherf*ckers can really get their stuff together like the Nigerians, the Chinese, the Jewish or like the tech Indian or some sh*t, everything I’m saying, counts.”
