Now, in a July 17Instagram post, theyre asking fans to stop streaming WTP.
They also said they wroteKanye Wests rap verse on the song Hurry.
(K.T.S.E.was one of Wests five G.O.O.D.
Music releases out of Wyoming in 2018.)
Is that a big accomplishment to write for other artists NO, this isnt about clout.
Its a pandemic, like so many musicians Im completely out of work.
These people have been flippant, rude, they have lied, delayed, found me harmless and inconsequential.
Im asking all of my fans c’mon DO NOT STREAM WTP.
like DO NOT STREAM @teyanataylor WTP.
Ive had it, everything associated with this song and these people is ANTI- LGBTQ .
Universal thinks making me wait 2 years for proper credit and a simple feature fee is okay.
They think Im a small artist with inconsequential reach.
hey I ask you, stop streaming and never stream again WTP.
They wrote that they decided to speak out because they were losing touring income during the pandemic.
Everybody who knows, know that Ive had a BIG ISSUE WITH HOW KTSE WAS HANDLED AS A WHOLE!
KTSE was more of a Kanye album than it was a Teyana Taylor album.
(Taylorreplied thatBlanco used he/him pronouns when she worked with them.)
Meanwhile, the person we allreallywant to hear from isoff playing presidential candidate.
They also said they emailed Taylors mother because her mother is her manager.
Just own your side and move on.
Ima end it like this.
STOP STREAMING WTP.#StopstreamingWTP@UMG@kanyewestpay her & keep me out of the drama.
I dont bother anybody.
Id like to continue my unproblematic life in peace.
It is regretful that Mykki Blanco was not credited and compensated sooner.
We are happy to report that an agreement has been reached and the matter has been settled.
Teyana Taylor, for her part, had no culpability in the matter.
Update, July 20, 3:30 p.m.:Mykki Blanco confirmedon Twitterthat theyd received payment for WTP.
Yall can say that even after two years I could have handled it another way, they added.
Im a working artist and in 2020 the smoke and mirror show is over.
Respectability politics out the window and fuck everyone who shamed me its the wild Wild West right now.
I would rather be vulnerable than play myself.
