Ye Gets Public Apology From Digital Nas for Being 'Ungrateful' Despite 'Substantial' Pay

The artist formerly known as Kanye West has been offered a public apology from Digital Nas, who previously alleged that he had received “zero royalties” and “zero publishing” for his contributions to the 24-time Grammy winner’s work.

As you may recall, the Atlanta-born producer initially went public with such claims in connection with “Carnival,” a song off Ye and Ty Dolla Sign’s first Vultures project. The track, featuring Playboi Carti and Rich the Kid, peaked at No. 1 on the Hot 100 chart back in 2024.

“If you want to make music, bro, don’t do it,” Digital Nas advised in November of that year. “Go be a doctor, go be a lawyer, it’s not worth it.”

Then, this October, the two-time Grammy nominee argued his career was “done,” claiming he had received no royalties or publishing from his work on various Ye tracks dating back to 2021’s Donda album. He also cited additional tracks from Donda 2, Vultures 1, and Vultures 2.

The 27-year-old was quick to express remorse for the manner in which he made these claims, telling his Instagram followers that he “should’ve kept this private” but was too “impatient” to do so at the time.

Now, he’s had an even deeper change of heart.

“I want to publicly apologize for what I did to Ye,” Digital Nas wrote in an X post on Friday (Oct. 16). “Ye paid me a substantial amount for my contributions and I was ungrateful. I'm gonna take this as a lesson learned.”
