G.O.O.D. Music is not what it used to be. The label was once stacked with talent but, these days, Kanye West is seemingly more interested in growing his brand in the fashion industry and improving his spiritual connection to a higher power. The born-again Christian has moved to Wyoming and he’s currently rumored to be working on a new album called God’s Country. 

As his G.O.O.D. Music imprint has said goodbye to Desiigner, Kacy Hill, and others over the years, John Legend revealed that he is no longer close friends with the recording artist.

During an interview with The Times in the UK, Legend explained his current relationship with West.

“I don’t think we’re less friends because of the Trump thing,” he said. “I just think we’re doing our own thing. He’s up in Wyoming. I’m here in L.A. We’ve both got growing families and I no longer have a formal business relationship with him as an artist, so I think it’s just part of the natural cycle of life.”

Legend previously urged West to reconsider his alliance to Donald Trump, sending him text messages that eventually got posted to Twitter. Apparently the switch to gospel music and a move to a different state was enough for Legend to move on from Yeezy.

Do you think they’ll ever work together again?

If you’ve wondered why Desiinger’s career never continued it’s “Panda” momentum while the rapper was under G.O.O.D. Music, let him tell his side of the story. Back in 2016, the New York rapper inked a deal with Kanye West’s label, and while his hitmaker”Panda” brought in chart-topping, worldwide attention, fans didn’t see Desiigner‘s career escalate to expectations.

Last year, Desiigner announced that he has split ways with G.O.O.D. Music, without giving an explanation. He’s been petitioning to be released for some tim and today (May 14), he chatted with Everyday Struggle where he revealed what happened. “I was happy and sh*t and then it was kinda weird with certain things like, I hear from my team. Even with certain records that I put out, I had certain criticism like sometimes I sound like Future or some sh*t,” he said. “I just didn’t want to be around that sh*t.”

He added that he attempted to reach out to Kanye directly, but it was just too difficult to get the label boss on the line. “I was just like, I gotta get my situation right. I got a journey, I started it all… Let me just get off the situation, get comfortable, start rolling this sh*t out, start rolling this sh*t from the ground up if I have to. At the end of the day, I got fans all around the world that still love me.”

Desiigner also stated that he’s been hitting the studio heavily. “I haven’t been trying to follow too many waves, you know. I mean [I’m] really sticking to my own path,” he told the hosts. “Still, the situation, I had to get out that G.O.O.D. Music sh*t. I just felt uncomfortable.” Watch Desiigner on Everyday Struggle below.

Pusha T earned experience as a music executive while serving as the president of G.O.O.D. Music and now he wants to apply that expertise to benefit his hometown. At an event held at Defiant Studios in Richmond, VA earlier this week, Push announced that he’s launching a new record label, called Heir Wave Music Group, dedicated to promoting talent out of Virginia. 

The event also served as an opportunity for Push to introduce the label’s first signee, Kahri 1k. Kahri, who hails from Petersburg, released a nine-track project on January 31st, which is titled The Ghost of Pecan Acres and features guest appearances from Quando Rondo and Yung Bleu. The head of Heir Wave told the crowd about his aspirations for the label. “As far as Virginia goes… I sort of feel like we haven’t established a circuit that’s really our own,” Push said. “Now, with the label, that’s one of the things I’m trying to do. Now that we got this label, I’m trying to also establish a circuit you can all call your own. Just all over Virginia. I felt like Kahri and Kahri’s project would be a great one to start this whole campaign.” 

It’s unclear whether Push will be keeping his position over at G.O.O.D. Music while he pursues this new endeavor.
