Kanye West once went all out for his former manager

When Kanye West Bought Manager John Monopoly a Lamborghini Before Hiring Him Again

The early roots of an artist as big as Kanye West
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/kanye-west] go as versatile as possible.
Starting from his days of freestyling and producing music beats for local
artists in his hometown of Chicago to the release of his debut studio album ‘The
College Dropout’ in 2004. In the decades that followed, the rapper extended vast
influence and credibility in the hip-hop genre and gave grooming space to
artists like Travis Scott. However, in those early days, he had the support of
one key person, his manager, John Monopoly.

In a show of love and support he holds for people close to him, the ‘Donda’
singer once went all out for his leading man.


KANYE WEST ONCE SURPRISED JOHN MONOPOLY IN THE MOST EXTRAVAGANT OF WAYS

The role of a manager of high-profile artists includes balancing their contracts
and finances as well as forming their strategic backbone to ensure maximum
growth. Having met Kanye West in the early ‘90s, John Monopoly did precisely
that as he looked after the rapper from the rollout of his first three albums to
helping him hold the ground at many world tours. In return, for his manager’s
birthday in August 2019, Ye pulled up with a customized matte black $300,000
Lamborghini Urus as a gift.

In a private function that included the likes of the rapper Cam’ron and Jerry
Lorenzo at a Los Angeles restaurant named Delilah, Kanye West arrived and handed
over the luxe 641-hp super-SUV to John Monopoly, who also took pictures
alongside him and posted it to his Instagram with the caption of “Words cannot
express my gratitude”. While for the past few years, the rapper went without a
manager, he will now have Monopoly back ahead of a potential tour for ‘Vultures’
that may take him across the globe

Interestingly, even as talks of a Kanye West world tour float around, his
trilogy of albums has yet to take shape.


VULTURES 2 STILL STAYS GROUNDED AFTER ALMOST A WEEK OF DELAYS

Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign announced three volumes of ‘Vultures’ and, amid
much fanfare, dropped the first in February. However, the second part, meant to
arrive on March 8, has lost its schedule and remains to go live on streaming
platforms without an official explanation. Although in fan interactions, Ye
hinted that he may skip streamers altogether and instead opt for a digital
release on Yeezy.

Unconfirmed and in the doldrums, ‘Vultures 2’ stands test to the times with the
‘Y$’ collaborative duo yet to take a concrete decision. Furthermore, with the
announced drop date of ‘Vultures 3’ fast approaching, wild developments have
taken shape such as West unintentionally disclosing an album set for May 3rd,
which to fans’ worst fears’, could be ‘Vultures 2’.
