Kanye West is dominating digital streaming platforms, such as Spotify, despite not being able to release Donda 2 on his $200 Stem Player. After the release of his Netflix documentary jeen-yuhs and Donda 2, the enigmatic mogul sat atop the Spotify most-streamed artists list for two consecutive days.
Fans have been visiting Ye's platform to revisit The College Dropout and Late Registration as well as songs from the original Donda release he performed during his Miami listening event on February 22.
Ye's Spotify dominance comes as a result of him repeatedly telling fans Donda 2 wouldn't be available on traditional streaming services and having turned down a $100 million deal with Apple to exclusively stream the album.
Since the recent Donda 2 experience, individual songs have been added to the Stem Player website, starting with "Security," "Pablo" featuring Future and Travis Scott, "Broken Road" featuring Don Toliver and "We Did It Kid" featuring Baby Keem and Migos.
