The controversial artist uploaded a two-minute song entitled “Someday We’ll All Be Free” on his Instagram.
Songwriter Edward Howard said he wrote “Someday We’ll All Be Free” about Hathaway’s battle with paranoid schizophrenia, expressing, “What was going through my mind at the time was Donny, because Donny was a very troubled person. I hoped that at some point he would be released from all that he was going through. There was nothing I could do but write something that might be encouraging for him.”
Ye, who has long dealt with his own struggle with bipolar disorder, may have decided to rap over the sample as a balm for himself. One may be sympathetic to his mental health trials, and how they may be affecting his judgment, but his latest track also feels like an abhorrent subversion of a song that has been celebrated as a beacon of hope for Black people amid the white supremacy that Ye is so devoutly amplifying.
