Kanye West and his G.O.O.D. Music label's stint on Def Jam Recordings have both reportedly come to an end.
On Monday (Oct. 24), The New York Times ran an article covering how Ye's recent media antics have caused several of his corporate allies to sever ties. The article notes that Kanye's label situation is in limbo, leaving his musical future uncertain. According to NYT, Ye's stint on Def Jam ended with the release of his Donda album last August. Kanye's most recent album, Donda 2, released in February, was not put on streaming services and was only available on Ye's stem player.
Additionally, Kanye's Getting Out Our Dreams imprint is reportedly no longer being distributed by the powerhouse label. It is unclear if the move took place before Kanye West's wild month of October, which has led to a number of the rapper's corporate partners ending their relationship with the controversial Chicago rapper-designer. G.O.O.D. Music is still listed on Def Jam's website.
