Apart from this, Kanye also demanded to be releases of his recording and music-publishing deals with the Universal Music Group in the latest Twitter meltdown. The singer tweeted hundreds of pages from his recording deal and called the music industry 'modern-day slavery.' In one of the tweets, Kanye West announced that 90% of the record contracts are based on royalty.

More so, the singer has claimed that a typical record deal is a trap in which there can never be a single redemption and that contracts contain many hidden costs such as "distribution fees." Adding to that, Kanye West accused the labels of putting those costs in their contracts to make more money 'without even trying' from the artist's work. In another tweet, Kanye West also requested other major names in the music industry, such as Bono, Taylor Swift and Drake, to retweet his post. Take a look at some of his tweets below.
