In yet another tweet, Kanye West floated conspiracy theories about how the music industry killed Prince and Michael Jackson.
“We used to diss Michael Jackson the media made us call him crazy…then they killed him,” West he said in one tweet. “Let’s get it big bro…you and Michael passed so we can live,” he said in another tweet in which he shared a photo of the late musician Prince.
Not long after the ban happened, the hashtag #FreeYe started trending.

All week long West has been hammering on the music industry. He stated that both the industry and the NBA are “modern-day slave ships,” while drawing comparisons between himself and Moses.
I need to see everybody’s contracts at Universal and Sony
I’m not gonna watch my people be enslaved
I’m putting my life on the line for my people
The music industry and the NBA are modern day slave ships
I’m the new Moses

Here’s to hoping all is well for Kanye, who does suffer from bi-polar disorder, a condition which might add to the color of his rhetoric during tweets storms of this nature.
