Kanye West claims that Universal Music Group, which owns Def Jam Records, released his new album “Donda” without his permission.

After weeks of delays and three big listening parties, West’s ninth studio album, titled after his late mother, was eventually released on streaming platforms on Sunday. However, West turned to Instagram only hours after the album’s release to say that Universal Music Group rushed the “Donda” release before he was ready.

West posted in all capitals on Instagram, “UNIVERSAL PUT MY ALBUM OUT WITHOUT MY APPROVAL AND THEY BLOCKED JAIL 2 FROM BEING ON THE ALBUM.”

Universal did not respond to Variety’s request for comment, but the newspaper quoted anonymous insiders at the studio who termed West’s allegation “preposterous.” Pitchfork has reached out to Kanye West’s Universal reps for more information.

When he says “JAIL 2,” he’s referring to the album’s 24th track, “Jail Pt 2,” which was previously inaccessible to stream when the album was first published. The song was made accessible at 1 p.m. ET. When a song from an album is prohibited from streaming on a site like Spotify, it’s usually because the song hasn’t been cleared legally due to a copyright dispute or other issue.

West posted pictures of text exchanges between him and his manager Bu Thiam in a now-deleted Instagram post from early Sunday. West is informed that DaBaby’s manager would not approve the song’s inclusion. West declined to remove the rapper from the record, despite the fact that he is embroiled in a scandal over homophobic remarks he made during a recent concert. West allegedly mentioned DaBaby as one of the few persons who publicly supported his 2020 presidential campaign.

Arnold Taylor, DaBaby’s manager, refuted the accusation in an Instagram post, writing: “This is [a lie], I woke up this morning to this social media bullshit. I never got a call or email from Kanye West [or his managers Bu Thiam and John Monopoly]. I just received [the track] today and cleared it in two seconds. Why wouldn’t I want a hit song out when [my company South Coast Music Group] is all about the growth and culture of hip hop and my artist! To all of the media blogs and outlets don’t believe everything you see in a post, thank you!”

JAY-Z (on “Jail”), the Weeknd, Jay Electronica, Young Thug, the late Pop Smoke, Travis Scott, Lil Baby, Kid Cudi, and many more contribute to Donda. The album was released following the rapper’s third listening party in Chicago, which included contentious performances by Marilyn Manson and DaBaby.

After his first large-scale listening session inside Atlanta’s Mercedes Benz Stadium, Kanye’s 10th album, Donda, was set to be released on July 23 via G.O.O.D. Music and Def Jam, however the project was delayed numerous times. Donda follows his ninth studio album, Jesus Is King, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 nearly two years ago.

The album has 27 songs in all, according to People, including songs like “Hurricane,” “Praise God,” “Moon,” and “New Again.” Those who wish to listen to it from start to finish should set aside around 108 minutes and 59 seconds.

West made a series of tweets concerning his relationship with Universal Music Group in September 2020. He spoke of his desire to reclaim his master recordings from the corporation, alleging that his attempts were hampered by contracts he had signed. He then proceeded to post numerous photos of his ostensibly signed contracts.
