Apple Music & Spotify Still In Shock After Kanye West Set To Open Up His own Streaming Site

Kanye West is making waves again! He's decided to launch his own streaming site, leaving Apple Music and Spotify stunned. After facing challenges with promoting his latest album, including being cut off during a live stream and having his album removed from Apple Music over copyright issues, Kanye isn't waiting around anymore. Despite the drama, including disputes over samples and accusations, he's pushing forward. Kanye's bold move to create a new platform for his music comes after fans showed massive support online, proving his influence remains unmatched. This decision not only shows his determination but also highlights the struggle artists face with traditional streaming services. Kanye's move could change how music is shared, making this a huge moment for the industry. Will his new site succeed?

I’m tired of investors forcing their political ideology on the public just because they have money. These social media websites were meant so people can fully express themselves, form communities and network with the rest of the world. It seems some social causes are pushed and others are demonetised due to not being part of an specific agenda. People will just get tired and opt for something else. Kanye is bringing this something else

I think its amazing how easily support shifts. When the narrative was framed around him making comments taken out of context and referenced as extremist instead of digging into its meaning, socials were bashing the hell out of him. He puts out an album void of attached manipulation and social media is with him again. Just reaffirms that with social media, you can define... and redifine who you are whether its true or not. Create your own narratives and lead your communities positively!
