    Kanye West’sDonda was a star-studded affair, but at one point during the making of the album, he threatened to remove several artists from the project — including JAY-Z.

    On Wednesday (June 7) a mini documentary on the making of Dondaleaked online, with the five-minute film offering a behind-the-scenes look at Kanye’s unorthodox creative process — which involved turning Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium into a makeshift recording studio — and somewhat turbulent emotional state.

    Featuring never-before-seen footage, the documentary shows Ye reflecting on his late mother, Donda West, while visiting his childhood home in Chicago, tinkering with various songs in the studio, delivering impassioned speeches and prayers to his team, and linking with Pusha T, Playboi Carti, Fivio Foreign, Rick Rubin and Mike Dean, among others.

    One particularly noteworthy scene captures the Chicago rap mogul on a phone call inside a locker room and threatening to take anybody’s verse off the album — including JAY-Z’s — who doesn’t attend one of his listening parties, which were held at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium and Chicago’s Soldier Field.

    Everybody that’s not here, I’m taking their verses off,” he says. “I’m taking JAY-Z verse, I’m taking — if there’s anybody not here on the porch with me, they’re not on this version.”

    After hanging up, Kanye looks to the camera and adds with a laugh: “How do you even describe these kind of conversations, bro?”

    JAY-Z’s verse on “Jail” was in tact when Donda finally hit streaming services in August 2021, marking the Watch the Throne duo’s first collaboration in five years following Drake’s 2016 song “Pop Style.”

    After playing the JAY-Z version during his first two listening sessions, though, Ye replaced Hov with DaBaby on the track during his third and final show — a decision that not only disappointed many fans, but was criticized due to the North Carolina’s homophobic comments at Rolling Loud Miami weeks prior.

    Pusha T and Kid Cudi — whose relationships with Kanye have soured in recent months — also saw their guest vocals (or entire collaborations) get cut as Kanye chopped and changed the album over the course of his three listening parties.

    Soulja Boy and Chris Brown made no secret of their disappointment over being removed from Donda and took aim at the Yeezy founder on social media following the album’s release.

    He is really all over the place. Feel bad for the dude. I wonder what exactly happened that got him so f----- up its not only the passing of his mother. He wasn’t as disjointed back then when she died like now.

    Kanye has just become the crazy cousin that you used to love hanging out with when you were young, and you still have love for him, but you just don’t hang around anymore because he lost his mind and might stab you in your sleep

    This is probably the only time I’ll ever say this in the history of existence, but DaBaby’s verse was better than Jay Z’s.

    I thought I was going to like it more than Donda, but it seems he didn't even finish it so I never checked it like that

    This is kinda why I didn’t bother checking out Donda 2 as well. True Love with the X feature was nice though, but only because of X lol. Don’t like the “no hard feelings cuz these feelings harder” part repeating over and over again

    It’s just wild how he got to be like this. I want to go to the dimension where he didn’t lose his mind and see what s--- he put out.

    What were your fav tracks on donda? I try so hard to like every kanye release but to me hes embarrassing himself at this point. Hes just got a more annoyingly loyal fan base than em that defends everything he does

    Yeah i know what you mean i kinda have the same problem with eminem. But you know why i like donda? Because it has that simplistic airy sound with that organ in the back but its not a beautiful organ that you might know from church its like a depressing one. And it flows throughout the album. Donda is weird and all over the place just like ye himself.
    All the songs where he talks about his children or his marriage or interesting topics especially for a big ye fan like me. So yeah its more like a niche thing why i like the album. It’s definitely not an album that you recommend to a new ye fan or a fan of other hip hop subgenres.
    Whats your biggest problem with ye? Is it his production, his rapping abilities, lyrics etc or his personality?

    He reminds of a entitled child. The only free pass I’d give him is if he was autistic. He not. He’s bipolar (from what I understand) there’s meds for that. There’s no excuse for being a d-ck

    If i was jay z i would invite kanye to an arabic coffee shop and let him sit in front of me next to some menacing looking shababs and offer him a black tea. Ye would say no first but then i ask again very politely and he accepts because he knows he f----- up.
    Then my brother hamudi puts a fork on yes hand and ask him who he thinks he is.
    Ye apologizes and gives me 50% from his yeezy brand. Thats fair and we made kheir (peace). May allah judge our lives insallah
