<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">On the 18th of February, Kanye West had announced that his upcoming album, <em>Donda 2</em>, will not be available on streaming platforms such as Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon, or YouTube but only on his $200 Stem player</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">“Donda 2 will only be streaming on my own platform, the stem player. You can download new music from stemplayer.com.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">“You can play four different elements of the track: vocals, drums, bass, and music. It also has an MP3 player available. We currently have 67,000 available and are making 3,000 a day,” he wrote on Instagram.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">According to him, streaming platforms cheat musicians, adding that artists have to go on tours and organize concerts to make money from their music.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">He said, “Donda 2 will only be available on my own platform, the Stem Player; not on Apple Amazon Spotify or YouTube. Today artists get just 12% of the money the industry makes. It’s time to free music from this oppressive system. It’s time to take control and build our own.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Giving an update on his $200 stem player, Kanye West said, &#8220;We’ve made $2,227,012.05 in 24 hours God is good Thank you guys for taking this journey.&#8221;</span></p>
