PETA Calls Out Kanye Over Skinned Monkey “Eazy” Cover Art
]
In its first hours since Kanye West and The Gameshared their “Eazy” collaboration, reactions haven’t ceased. From fans to critics to downright haters, opinions have poured in from all corners of the Hip Hop globe. Many fans have noted that this version of Ye is reminiscent of his earlier catalog, while others are impressed by the Eazy-E “Eazy Duz It” sample that perfectly complements both Game and Ye’s lyrical approach.
Prior to the track’s release, the rappers teased “Eazy” by sharing not only a snippet of the song but also revealed the cover art that showed a skinned animal. Those with sensitive stomachs weren’t thrilled, including PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) who penned a statement on social media.
“The disturbing image of a skinned monkey that @kanyewest shared serves as a reminder that there’s no real difference between humans and other animals,” the organization penned. “Their lives aren’t easy when we abuse and kill them for food, experiments, clothing, or entertainment — they’re not ours to abuse for any reason. #EndSpeciesism.”
Hip Hop artists have often found themselves on the receiving end of PETA’s criticisms and radical stances. The Game managed to avoid being in PETA’s crosshairs over this one, but the organization may have singled out Ye because, for years, they have targeted him and the Kardashian-Jenners for various reasons, including wearing fur.
Meanwhile, Game and Ye are being widely applauded for “Eazy” and this seems to have reignited an already heightened interest in both rappers’ next projects. Check it out below.
Kanye West Shares Disturbing Artwork Teasing New Song With The Game

Kanye West says his goal now is to control the sound of music as he readies his new song ahead of Donda 2. Ye shared a disturbing artwork to promote the new single.
The Donda rapper revealed that he is planning to drop a new track this week while on a FaceTime video chat with DJ Premier on Wednesday. West said the song will be released this week and hinted that Pusha T might be on it along with fellow rapper The Game.
Kanye’s last release was his 10th studio album Donda which was released in September last, and the album is up for Best Rap Album at the 64th Grammy Awards later this month.
Kanye West, in the meantime, has been busy as he teased that a sophomore album will follow up Donda, but he has also been making the rounds with various artists leading to fans speculating that his new music might be for the second album installation.
The rapper confirmed on the video chat with DJ Premier that new music might be coming sooner than Ye stans expect. The video of the call was posted by designer Tracey Mills where Kanye is heard telling Premier that he is his “inspiration.”
Before long, The Game and Pusha T, who were also in the studio, also joined in the conversation.
“We’re starting a whole…we about to just control the sound of music, it’s up to us now, period,” Kanye says to Premier before adding, “We got a song we’re releasing Friday that we wanted you to do a scratch on, if possible,” he asked.
Kanye has been seen frequently over the last few weeks with his girlfriend of 13 days, Julia Fox, and other artists, including Moneybagg Yo and Antonio Brown in Los Angeles.
Kanye West also shared a artwork for a new song while tagging The Game in the post on his Instagram. “My Life Was Never Eazy,” he wrote in all caps in the caption. The Game also shared the artwork which is quite disturbing since it shows a skinless ape.
This comes days after a video from their studio session surfaced showing Kanye rapping over a sample of the late Eazy-E’s 1988 classic “Eazy-Duz-It.”

Kanye West unveils a peculiar figure on Instagram: ‘My Life Was Never Eazy’
Kanye West raised eyebrows with his peculiar selection of picture for his recent Instagram post amidst reports of him allegedly punching a fan outside a club in Los Angeles.
Taking to Facebook-owned app, the 44-year-old rapper dropped a hard-to-interpret photo in which a figure (supposedly a monkey) is seemingly put against a red background.
The rapper wrote along the photograph, “MY LIFE WAS NEVER EAZY.”
The Praise God song-maker also tagged artist The Game in the post, making fans wonder if a collaboration is on its way.
West updated his feed after he was alleged of physically assaulting a fan who asked the rapper for an autograph on Thursday late-night.
TMZ shared a video in which the Flashing Lights rapper is seen yelling at his crew member. “Get away from me,” he screams.
Meanwhile, Police have also confirmed that West went under investigation for alleged assault.

Kim Kardashian finds Julia Fox’s fandom flattering rather than creepy.
Sources tell Page Six that the Skims mogul is glad her estranged husband, Kanye West, chose a fan over a critic for a girlfriend.
“She appreciates that Julia admires her and her family — and would much rather prefer that over someone who is a hater,” a source told Page Six.
Fox — West’s new gal pal, who starred in the hit indie film, “Uncut Gems” — has described herself as a “superfan” of the Kardashian clan in past episodes of her “Forbidden Fruits” podcast, and has even said, “I wanted them to be my family.”
But Fox downplayed her admiration for the reality TV family on a new episode of the podcast released Thursday, explaining, “I’m not like a die-hard, [standing] in line in the cold for, like, a store opening. I don’t even own one Lip Kit [by Kylie Jenner].” she said.
Meanwhile, sources told us Kardashian is aware of, but unfazed by, the chatter comparing Fox to her.
Insiders have said Kanye West is using the same tactics to woo Julia Fox as he did with Kim Kardashian. SplashNews.com
“Kim is unbothered by the way that Kanye is courting Julia with makeovers, clothes, [by] dressing her in the same designers — or even the comparisons,” another source previously told Page Six.
Kardashian has yet to officially comment on West and Fox’s new situation, but multiple sources told us she’s happy for them and supports his dating choice.
“Kim loves to see Kanye happy and only wants positive things for him because it’s what’s best for their kids and co-parenting relationship,” the source said.
Kardashian has moved on with Pete Davidson, and friends of the couple “have never seen either of them so relaxed, happy and laughing so much,” we’re told.
Meanwhile, West released a teaser for a new song Friday, “My Life Was Never Eazy,” in which he raps, “God saved me from that crash/ just so I can beat Pete Davidson’s ass,” a reference to West’s near-fatal 2002 car accident.
Reps for West and Kardashian did not comment.

“There’s nothing that’s going to keep me from my children. That’s what I want everybody to know.”
Kanye concluded: “Don’t play with me. Don’t play with my children. Ain’t no security going to get between me and my children.
“You ain’t going to gaslight me. You ain’t going to run this narrative on me.”
