The artist formerly known as Kanye West publicly declared that he currently does not have any interest on creating an NFT.
Taking to Instagram to make the announcement, Ye shared a handwritten note stating that his “focus is on building real products in the real world,” which includes real food, clothes and shelter. “STOP ASKING ME TO DO NFT’s I’M NOT FINNA CO-SIGN,” he wrote in the caption. “FOR NOW I’M NOT ON THAT WAVE I MAKE MUSIC AND PRODUCTS IN THE REAL WORLD.”
West is currently in the process of creating and releasing DONDA 2, which is set to drop on February 22. Producer Digital Nas recently revealed Ye’s “directives” for the new album: “If it cannot be played at a funeral, childbirth, graduation, a wedding, it will not be on our record.” He added, “We learned a lot from Donda 1. We learned what hit. We learned what was sticking. So we took it from there. It has to be able to be played at four major moments in people’s lives. That’s crazy, right?”
In related news, the Australian PM warned Ye that he needed to be fully vaccinated to enter Australia.
