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 timeshe shares, “My friendship with Kanye started in 2009 or 2010. And I left my friendship with him around 2014 – even before the Trump stuff, the KKK bullshit.”
The singer-songwriter continues: “It’s very sad to 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 the finger at Taylor Swift. “But then, you look at someone like Taylor? She’s made for this, man. She can handle it.”
It should be noted that the two men collaborated on My beautiful dark and twisted fantasy in 2010. You previously called him “my favorite living artist.”
Apart from that, the musician hints that he has no plans to make a new album. “I would be very surprised if I made another album.”
He further adds that he “taps into the emotion of the music – the blue part, though, I don’t know how much of it is left.” I expelled a large part of it.
Following 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 it’s uncharted territory – but I accept it.”
