According to an alleged text message exchange between Ye and Rich the Kid, Ye may be retiring from professional music. Keep watching for all the details!

Tetris Kelly:

Ye says he’s quitting music, but can his collab partner convince him not to? Rich the Kid posted a text conversation he allegedly had with Ye where the rapper, formerly known as Kanye West, said he’s “retiring from professional music” and that he “didn’t know what else to do.” Rich the Kid protested saying the kids need him and said he and Ty Dolla $ign made the biggest stamp on culture in 2024. While we don’t know if Ye is really giving up on the music biz for good, he has three features on Rich the Kids album, “Life’s A Gamble,” which drops next Friday. Also Ye and Ty announced a listening event for their joint projects next month in Korea. So we’ll just have to wait and see if Ye is really done, done.

And I do not want to choose that route. Hi, I’m John Sumit and you’re watching Billboard News.

Katie Baine: 

We have a lot to talk about yeah cuz you’re a busy man. Tell me about closing out EDC and playing with Green Velvet and what that moment was like for you.

John Summit:

That was like absolutely surreal, like Green Velvets been my childhood hero for you know, ever Since I started listening to house music, when he came out with “Percolator” like the year I was born. 1994, which is crazy. And then yeah, closing out EDC which is like, if you like every DJ stream, I think it was like 150,000 people in the crowd so… Which is weird like I thought I’d be nervous walking up. It’s like so many that like he kind of like your mind can’t even process and we just played it like a straight up Chicago house set and people liked it. So we’re happy.

Katie Baine:

Did I catch you crying for a minute there? At the end. 

John Summit:

It got a little emotional. 

Katie Baine:

Okay well tell me what was going on through your mind or like your your emotions at that moment? Because that’s a big deal.
