Kanye West filed new documents in his case towards EMI and Roc-A-Fella. West’s recent tactic to be released from his contract with the labels says that his EMI contract is unauthorized under California law.
West’s docs claim that his contract with EMI has no deadline, which is prohibited in California, where any contract for more than seven years amounts to servitude. As reported by TMZ, West wants the contract chucked so that he can “be set free from its bonds.”
The deal was organized around a set number of songs and not a year restriction. Because that structure can extend the contract as long as it takes to get to those limitations, ‘Ye wants the contract null and void. Kanye indicated that 2010 was the end of his deal with EMI, as that was seven years following the contract being signed.
Kanye implied that he tried to buy out of his deal late last year and was rejected. He called out Sony’s soon-to-be and present CEOs in a post he shared on social media.
“I got the money. So, big Jon, Marty, whoever is involved, I need my publishing. I got the money,” Kanye stated, according to Yahoo. “I’m not gonna say the S-word (referring to ‘slave’). I’m not Prince; I don’t need to write it on my face.”
Although Kanye isn’t saying slave, he’s certainly referring to it in his recent filing. Both complaints allege illegal servitude and the language asking to be freed from captivity carry denotations connected to slavery.
Information currently circulated that the contract conflict was what was stopping Yandhi, with Kanye supposedly retaining the album until he could be released of his contract. Nevertheless, Kanye’s team furiously rejected that ‘Ye is sticking to the promised album as leverage.
“The Blast article has the unredacted complaint, but it’s not a new lawsuit. It’s the unredacted version of the previous filing. Also, there’s another inaccurate portion about him holding up the ninth album. That’s not in the complaint and untrue,” Kanye reps stated in a report to XXL.
