Digital Nas Says He’s Quitting The Music Industry After Kanye West Allegedly Still Hasn’t Paid Him For Collabs

The music industry is a cruel business, as producer Digital Nas has found out.

In a series of Instagram stories, Digital Nas revealed that Kanye West has not paid him for any of the songs he’s produced for him.

“Nobody hit me up about music, I’m going to become a construction worker,” Digital Nas posted. “I am no longer doing music…You think the lawyer got your back, but no, the lawyer is actually in cahoots with the people that’s sending you an agreement. In the music industry, lawyers get five percent… They don’t give a f*** about what that agreement says. They give a f*** about the deal getting closed so they can get their five percent. So they be in cahoots with the exact same people they’re supposed to be protecting you against. So when I signed that contract, my lawyer made it seem like, ‘Oh, it’s all good.’ […] I own zero. I get nothing from six years of hard work. No publishing, no royalties… I’m waiting on money…”

Then, he posted the songs he produced for Kanye, pleading with him to call him and settle this. There were over 20 songs dating back to Donda. Some of the most notable tracks include “Junya,” “Security,” “Hurricane,” and his number 1 hit, “Carnival.” If true, Ye owes Digital Nas a lot of money.

Later on, someone must have called him because he walked back his claims.

“I want to apologize for my rant,” Digital Nas posted. “I’m getting off social media for a while. Should’ve kept this private. I was impatient. I was getting no responses. It’s getting handled now.”

The story is still developing.
