It seems that Kanye West mislead or outright just lied to Andre 3000 about the song they did together “Life of the Party” for Kanyes Donda album. Unfortunately the song did not make the album and some how Drake got a hold of the song and leaked on his OVO radio. The song was dissing Drake and Andre says the version he heard was not dissing anyone. So Andre released a statement clearing up the verse Kanye did against Drake. Check out Andre 3000’s statement below!
“A few weeks ago Kanye reached out about me being a part of the Donda album. I was inspired by his idea to make a musical tribute to his mom. It felt appropriate to me to support the Donda concept by referencing my own mother, who passed away in 2013. We both share that loss. I thought it was a beautiful choice to make a clean album but, unfortunately, I didn’t know that was the plan before I wrote and recorded my verse. It was clear to me that an edited ‘clean’ format of the verse would not work without having the raw, original also available. So, sadly, I had to be omitted from the original album release.
The track I received and wrote to didn’t have the diss verse on it and we were hoping to make a more focused offering for the Donda album but I guess things happen like they are supposed to. It’s unfortunate that it was released in this way and two artists that I love are going back and forth. I wanted to be on Certified Lover Boy too. I just want to work with people that inspire me. Hopefully I can work with Kendrick on his album. I’d love to work with Lil’ Baby, Tyler and Jay-Z. I respect them all.”
