Berg and Esther Coco Berg on Wednesday (March 2), West, who is now legally known as Ye, said his frustrations boiled over because of a request made by a promoter.He claims that he was “told” he had to attach the word “performance” to the ‘Donda 2’ event, despite that not being a part of his vision.“It wasn’t about the sound,” Ye explained. “It was the fact that I was told, one thing I was told was that I had to write the word ‘performance’ on the piece.

But what I was giving you guys was performance art.”He continued: “I did these listening sessions when I dropped my album where I put a mask on and I give you this listening session and it’s an installation.

And they basically forced me to mix Taco Bell and KFC. They basically forced to mix tequila with Cognac. So right when I did the song and I saw myself grabbing this mic and it wasn’t my original idea, I was like, ‘I’m gonna throw this mic.
