Marilyn Manson is reportedly working with Kanye West on DONDA 2. Producer Digital Nas told Rolling Stone, “I see Marilyn a lot in the studio. v Like, every day I go to the studio, Marilyn is there working on Donda 2.”
Nas added that Ye doesn't want Manson to step out of his comfort zone creatively. He explained, “He wants Marilyn to play what he makes, and then Ye will take parts of that and sample parts of that and use parts of that, like he did generally when making Yeezus. He has some producers from Yeezus working on Donda 2 this time around, as ell as Marilyn, me, a bunch of producers from Donda 1.”
On the reason Kanye is working with Manson, Digital Nas said, “I think it’s moreso that Ye is coming from a standpoint of like, ‘We all make mistakes.' I think that’s maybe why he had DaBaby and Marilyn at that one show. I’m just assuming it is from a standpoint of like, ‘We’re all sinners. We all make mistakes. We shouldn’t point the finger at someone for the mistakes they’ve made or something like that.’ ”
Kanye West's Donda 2 is due out on February 22nd.
