But this is far from being the case. Apple actually took the floor on Instagram to clarify things. “I would like to clarify a situation regarding the 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 social networks, but I have never given my agreement to the use of this sample for reasons that seem obvious to me, having profoundly disagreed with the political positions of this artist whom I have greatly admired in the past“, wrote Pomme, in French and English in an Instagram post. “It’s sometimes difficult to give up on certain opportunities but I prefer to respect my deep values“, concluded the artist.
The rapper has been at the center of various controversies in recent years, notably by displaying anti-abortion ideas during the 2020 presidential campaign, during which he presented himself as a candidate. He also lost partnerships with brands like Adidas and Balenciaga after making anti-Semitic and racist comments. “Ye” is also the subject of a complaint for sexual assault.
No explanation or additional information has been released by Kanye West or his entourage apart from the video extract which is circulating on social networks. We cannot therefore know with certainty whether the song containing the Pomme sample is linked to Kanye West’s album or another project.
End of the conflict between Adidas and Kanye West, the stock of “Yeezy” sneakers will soon be sold out
