Kanye West is really happy he’s back in the #1 slot on the charts, but unfortunately the rainbow-haired man responsible for getting him there is currently behind bars.
Ye was supposedly flying back from Tokyo, Japan on a private jet when he shared video of himself dropping lines from his song, “MAMA,” he recorded with Tekashi69 and Nicki Minaj.
Since Tekashi’s Dummy Boy album was released, it has claimed the first 4 slots on iTunes, with “MAMA” snagging the top spot. Tekashi has two other songs in the top 10, but unfortunately he is not in a position to celebrate as he sits in custody with no bail on 6 federal charges, including racketeering.
Kanye and Nicki Minaj were also going to be featured in Tekashi’s newest music video, but a drive-by shooting in Beverly Hills. shut down production.
As we reported, Tekashi claims he was just a gang banger for the gram, and his crew seems to confirm that the rapper was never really in the gang. Prosecutors, however, feel Tekashi was a heavy hitter and are trying to throw the book at the hip-hop star.
