Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Though he was working with Kanye West on The Life of Pablo just weeks ago, Hudson Mohawke has threatened to release a zip file of unreleased music by the rapper during a Twitter tirade.

“Literally about to release zip of kanye and drake songs I’ve done that I got [zero] for,” he wrote in a since deleted tweet.

It’s unclear whether ‘zero’ refers to money or credit, as he continued: “Mannn so tired of making careers for ppl who take my work n add 1 hi hat n take all the credit…exhausting shit[…]Actually since being asked so many times ‘wats your advice to upcoming producers’[…]Mainstream rappers have less business sense than ur mum[…] Love a little wind up for u cuntos, keeps u on your toes heh […] Til the day someone actually does thief my laptop n get 3 albums worth of gold.”

Mohawke worked on TLOP tracks ‘Famous’ ‘Freestyle 4’ and ‘FML’, having also been part of Yeezus and Drake’s Nothing Was the Same album.

Kanye is known for working with several producers on a single track, having assembled something of a dream team in the studio for TLOP.

Mohawke is brave picking a fight with Kanye on Twitter - it didn’t end well for Wiz Khalifa.
