French singer Pomme declares war on Kanye West: “I never gave my consent”

A project that does not please the main interested party. Over the past few hours, Kanye West has sparked many reactions. For once, compared to the last months filled with controversy, Bianca Censori's companion caused a positive reaction after sampling a piece by the singer Pomme.

In fact, the 47-year-old artist published a video on his social networks in which we can see him working on a new project by sampling the title Sun sun by Pomme, from the album The flaws released in 2019.

A video that sparked joy among Kanye West fans. “I love this kind of title so much! This madman on the bus, nay, this genius must put it in the album”, “It's strong”, “Incredible”, “He transforms each sample into diamond”rejoiced many users of the social network

Apple, not in agreement with Kanye West's ideas

However, one person in particular expressed their dissatisfaction. And for good reason, she is at the origin of the sampled piece and never gave her consent to Kim Kardashian's ex-companion to use it. In fact, Apple wanted to provide an update on its Instagram account.

“Hello, I would like to clarify a situation regarding a potential use of my song “soleil soleil” on Kanye West's next project. I do not know the source of the video and audio content circulating these days on the networks but I never gave my consent for the use of this sample for reasons which seem obvious to me“first clarified the French singer.

This indicates being “in deep disagreement with the political positions of this artist” that she has “yet much admired in the past”. “It’s sometimes difficult to give up on certain opportunities but I prefer to respect my deep values”she concluded to announce her opposition to the project.

But this speech made Kanye West fans come off their hinges. “Just let the guy sample the song! You're making a huge thing out of everything and nothing”, “She's not known, even in France! Forgive her Ye”, “That's it, it ruined my day”, “I hope Kanye releases the song anyway”railed many of them, visibly for the release of the project.
