James Blake Drops Kanye Collab, Seeks Credit Removal

0:00Jane's Blake is stepping back from producer credits on Kanye West's new track, this one here, from the album Bully, which dropped last Friday, March 27th. The 37-year-old says his original pitch and construction got heavily reworked with fresh vocals, leaving out the core spirit of what he made. With Y-A-Y, he posted that while bits of his work remain, it's mostly other people's changes now, so he asked to be removed to avoid taking partial credit for. Someone else's final product. Blake made it clear it's not personal. He's just at a point where he only wants his name on stuff he can fully shape. These two go way back as collaborators and friends, but things cooled off by 2023, especially after Kanye's public controversies. Blake shared in an interview back then that he was sad about their distance and chose no comment. Fast forward, the 48-year-old Kanye opened up in a Wall Street Journal letter about a four-month manic episode early this year tied to his. By polar, disorder. He owned the paranoia and bad calls, apologized to Jewish folks in the black community for letting them down and committed to meds, therapy, and real change.

1:08Blake's cool with fans digging the album, but for him, it's about keeping his credits true. Sounds like a clean break in a long complicated collab. History. That's the story for today. Derm news today. Driven by AI.
