It looks like Kanye West (aka Ye) is still collaborating with Marilyn Manson, despite the numerous disturbing rape and sexual assault allegations against him. The shock rocker is reportedly contributing to the rapper’s new album “Donda 2,” which is expected to be released on February 22.

West’s collaborator and producer Digital Nas told Rolling Stone the following:

“I see Marilyn a lot in the studio. Like, every day I go to the studio, Marilyn is there working on ‘Donda 2‘.”

He also added:

“[West] doesn’t want Marilyn to play rap beat. 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 well as] Marilyn, me, a bunch of producers from ‘Donda 1‘.”

Digital Nas also had the following to say about West‘s decision to work with Manson:

“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.”

This news comes after it was revealed that Manson is currently eligible for a Grammy thanks to his work on West’s 2021 album “Donda,” which is up for “Album Of The Year.” Manson guested on “Jail pt 2” from that effort alongside DaBaby, who is currently facing backlash for making homophobic comments onstage. He also has writing credits on the song “Jail.”
