reported earlier this week that Marilyn Manson was once again working with Kanye West on the rapper’s forthcoming album ‘Donda 2’, the shock rocker has confirmed the ongoing collaboration.On Tuesday (February 1), West collaborator Digital Nas told Rolling Stone that Manson – real name Brian Hugh Warner – was “in there working on ‘Donda 2′” every time he had been to the studio.“[West] has some producers from ‘Yeezus’ working on ‘Donda 2’ this time around, [as well as] Marilyn, me, [and] a bunch of producers from ‘Donda 1’,” Nas told the publication.That came after Tim Skold, who has performed on multiple Marilyn Manson albums and toured as part of the band, last month shared a photo of himself in-studio on Instagram with the hashtags #marilynmanson, #kanyewest and #dondasplace.Now, Warner himself has confirmed the news, with a representative telling Newsweek he is “continuing his creative collaboration with Ye”.Warner previously featured on West’s ‘Donda’ track ‘Jail Pt 2’, and appeared alongside West at one of the rapper’s listening parties in Chicago last year.At the time, West drew backlash for collaborating with Warner, who was accused of sexually and physically abusive behaviour by multiple women in 2021, and is currently facing four civil lawsuits on sexual assault charges.

Warner has denied all allegations.In February of last year, Warner’s former partner Evan Rachel Wood alleged she had been “horrifically abused” by the musician.

Most recently, Wood claimed she was “essentially raped on camera” by Warner while filming the music video for his 2007 track ‘Heart-Shaped Glasses (When the Heart Guides the Hand)’.
