Kanye West, once a titan of the music industry, is now a pariah, according to Bon Iver, who previously collaborated with him a decade ago.
In an interview with The timesshares, “My friendship with Kanye started in 2009 or 2010. And I broke up with him around 2014, even before the Trump stuff, the KKK shit.”
The singer-songwriter continues: “It’s very sad for me. He was just destroyed by his own ego and no one could have warned him because he didn’t want to listen. He doesn’t listen.”
In comparison, Bon points to Taylor Swift. “But then you look at someone like Taylor? She’s built for it, man. She can handle it.”
It is worth noting that the couple collaborated on My beautiful dark and twisted fantasy in 2010. You had previously called him “my favorite living artist.”
Apart from this, the musician suggests that he has no plans to make any new album. “I would be very surprised if he made another album.”
He further adds that “it taps into the emotion of the music; the blue part, though, I don’t know how much is left. I’ve expelled much of it.”
After this, Bon concludes: “for the first time since I was 12, I’m not writing songs. There aren’t any here. I’ve been writing since puberty and this is uncharted territory, but I’m embracing it.”
