Kanye West, once a titan of the music industry, is now an outcast, according to Bon Iver, who previously collaborated with him a decade ago.
In an interview with The Timeshe shares, “My friendship with Kanye started in 2009 or 2010. And I left my friendship with him around 2014 — before even the Trump stuff, the KKK-s***.”
The singer-songwriter continues: “It’s very sad for me. He was just destroyed by his own ego and nobody could have warned him because he wouldn’t listen. He doesn’t listen.”
For comparison, Bon points to Taylor Swift. “But you look at someone like Taylor? She’s built for it, man. She can handle it.”
It is worth noting that the pair collaborated on My beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy in 2010. Ye had previously called him “my favorite living artist”.
Apart from this, the musician hints that he has no plans to make any new album. “I would be very surprised if I did another album.”
He further adds that he “taps into the emotions of the music – the blue part, however, I don’t know how much is left. I have banished a lot of it.
After this, Bon concludes, “for the first time since I was 12, I’m not writing songs. There’s no one in here. I’ve been writing since puberty and it’s uncharted territory – but I accept it.”
