Kanye Paid $85,000 For Image Of Whitney Houston’s Drug-Strewn Bathroom For Push T’s Album Cover

Kanye West reportedly spent $85,000 to use a photo of Whitney Houston’s drug-strewn bathroom as the cover of Pusha T’s new album.

During an interview with Angie Martinez May 23rd, Pusha T revealed Kanye scrapped the artwork for Pusha T’s upcoming album, “Daytona,” and replaced it with a grim image of what he claims is the late Whitney Houston’s bathroom.

“1 a.m., my phone rings, no caller-ID,” Pusha told Martinez. “‘Hey, yeah, I think that we should change the artwork. I like this other artwork.’ Now this other artwork is 85 grand. I said, ‘Hey, I don’t want to pay for that. And I wasn’t even going to ask you to pay for that. We picked what we picked. It’s here, it’s ready.’ ‘No, this what people need to see to go with this music. I’ma pay for that.’”

The image, taken in 2006, allegedly depicts Houston’s bathroom littered with drugs and drug paraphernalia.

“Ummm, it’s a picture, It’s a picture. … It’s just a picture that to license it worldwide is 85 grand. I’m not really too, too, too entrenched in the art world like that. I’m just going to let him do that thing. And he’s paying for it.”

“Daytona” will be released on 5/25/18.
