Kanye West posted a video of himself peeing on his Grammy award. We’re not kidding!
The rapper and entrepreneur posted the clip to his Twitter last week during a rant discussing his thoughts on music ownership and recording contracts. He captioned the video, “Trust me… I won’t stop.”

Prior to posting the video, West shared a series of Tweets describing his feelings towards legalities in the music industry. He wrote, “When you sign a music deal you sign away your rights. Without the masters you can’t do anything with your own music. Someone else controls where it’s played and when it’s played. Artists have nothing accept the fame, touring and merch.”
West added, "I am the only person who can speak on this because I made multi billions outside of music no musicians make billions inside of music I’m going to change this."
He then posted his ten contracts with Universal Music Group, tweeting them as screen grabs, one page at a time. He wrote, "I need every lawyer in the world to look at these."
West's video clip of himself peeing on his Grammy award was posted towards the end of his Twitter rant. His followers must have been shocked by the clip, as the tweet received 769k likes and over 175k retweets.
We wonder how Kim Kardashian must have felt to see her husband post a video of himself peeing on his Grammy. The SKIMS founder didn't post anything on Twitter that day, and has since mainly been posting promotions for the new season of Keeping Up With The Kardashians and new arrivals from her shapewear line.
