Kanye’s original Life Of Pablo lyrics were flushed down the toilet
By Andy Malt | Published on Tuesday 19 April 2016
There’s been a lot of talk about how Kanye West updated his latest album ‘The Life Of Pablo’ several times after it was released on Tidal. But it turns out he was not the only person with control over the album’s creative direction. Prior to recording, his daughter North flushed all the lyrics for the record down the toilet. Everyone’s a critic, right?
Actually, she flushed his iPhone down that toilet, which had all of his lyrics saved on it, but that’s not as good a story, is it?
“Kanye had every single rap in his iPhone before he really started working on ‘Pablo’ and then North flushed it down the toilet”, explains Kim Kardashian on an episode of her sister’s pretty tedious looking show ‘Kocktails With Khloe’. “They could not be retrieved. We sent it to like four places [to try to get them back]”.
“No Apple Genius was genius enough”, laments Kanye, sitting next to her. Though you’d hope someone at the Apple Store would have at least shown him how to back up his notes in the future.
Apparently Kanye “didn’t even get mad” at the loss of his work. Let’s just hope no one sues him for claiming that the toilet was getting the exclusive on those lyrics if they ever do turn up.
