Kanye West's 'Donda 2' Producer Hasn't Been Paid Yet Months After Songs Were Released

Kanye West could potentially face a lawsuit after he allegedly failed to pay one of his "Donda 2" producers.

Music artist ATL Jacob said in an interview with "VladTV" released Wednesday that he's "confused" about how he's getting paid after the 45-year-old rapper decided not to release his 11th studio album "Donda 2" on major music streaming platforms.

"Everybody's confused, like, how are we getting paid?" Jacob said before host DJ Vlad asked him whether he felt the same way,

"Yeah, I'm still confused. If he [West] is banned from Stem Player, then how are we getting paid?" the producer said.

In February, West exclusively released the unfinished album via his $200 Stem Player device, a collaboration with British technology company Kano Computing, TMZ reported. Four songs were made available on Feb. 23, and additional songs were later included in updates, the first of which was added the following day.

West and Stem Player are currently facing a copyright lawsuit over allegations that the rapper's song "Life of the Party" samples a Boogie Down Productions track without permission.

"Life of the Party" was released on the Stem Player device as part of the deluxe edition of West's 2021 album "Donda." Phase One Network — the management company overseeing Boogie Down's music catalog — has since claimed that the song uses elements of the hip-hop group's 1987 track, "South Bronx," and requested that further usage of the song be blocked.

Jacob shared that he worked on several tracks on West's latest album, including "Keep it Burnin'," "Louie Bags" featuring Jack Harlow and "Pablo" featuring Future and Travis Scott but claimed did not get paid for any of them months after they were released.

When asked by the host whether he was disappointed or annoyed that his music would no longer be released, the producer responded, "No, you're just thinking about what is going on." He also said that he wasn't angry about not getting paid because he "learned a lot" from writing the album.

"I [am not] tripping though [because] I learned a lot just working on them, creative-wise, even business too. I learned a lot working on 'Donda 2,' so it was cool as long as something was out publicly, and I still didn't get paid, that's cool. You just learn," Jacob said.

During the interview, Jacob also shared his opinion on charging fans who wanted to listen to "Donda 2" $200 to purchase the Stem Player, calling it "crazy" considering the tracks weren't "complete songs" but rather raw demos.

"He'll upload the songs on the stem player, and none of the songs were done. He was just uploading demos," the producer said of West.

Other artists who reportedly worked on "Donda 2," including Playboi Carti, Soulja Boy, Baby Keem and Migos, have yet to comment about their payment, TMZ reported.

Jacob is a well-known music producer and has worked with several big names, including Future, Drake and Nigerian singer Tems. He was responsible for producing their Grammy-nominated hit single "Wait For U," which was released in May this year.

Meanwhile, West made the headlines in the past months after losing his partnership deals with Adidas, Gap, Balenciaga and JPMorgan Chase following the launch of his "White Lives Matter" T-shirt during Paris Fashion Week and his antisemitic remarks on social media.
