American rapper, Kanye West has urged his country men to learn from Nigerians when it comes to business and financial independence.
During an interview with DJ Akademiks, Kanye West criticized American rappers for lacking business knowledge.
The rapper revealed that many rely too heavily on external figures—particularly those of Jewish descent—to handle their contracts and financial dealings.
He challenged them to take full control of their careers, just as successful entrepreneurs from Nigeria, China, and India have done.
Kanye emphasized that until American artists learn to manage their businesses independently—like Nigerian musicians and other global entrepreneurs—they will continue to lack real control over their careers.
He said, “None of these n*ggas [rappers] are as smart as me. I can’t say for at the least, the tech dudes. That’s some other sh*t. But artists are dumb, bro. It’s like, they can’t even f*cking count, bro. Jewish people and lawyer run their whole sh*t [businesses] like the contracts, the setups etc.
“Okay, go and ask them to run a whole record label without a Jewish person, I will take back what I had to say. Go and set up your whole TV network, make it run, no Jewish investor let me see how that works.
“Until motherf*ckers can really get their stuff together like the Nigerians, the Chinese, the Jewish or like the tech Indian or some sh*t, everything I’m saying counts.”
KanyiDaily recalls that Kanye West recently revealed that he never intended to have children with his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian.
