Kanye West’s longtime DJ, Mano, announced on Twitter today that he’s out of job. Mano has a long history with Kanye and has accompanied him on tour for as long as I can remember. However, his unabashed enthusiasm, jumping, and fist pumping didn’t really complement Kanye’s recent stage productions, which have put more emphasis on visual aesthetics than the performers on stage. He’s also been known to flub his parts, as this hilarious compilation put together by KanyeToThe so hilariously illustrates:
Kanye West and his tour DJ Million Dollar Mano have parted ways. The distinguished producer took to his Twitter platform to make the announcement that he’s no longer working for the Chi-town rapper.
Not only has Mano known ‘Ye for years, but he was also one of the producers of “Lost In The World” from My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. But as the video below indicates and Gawker points out, it is perhaps that Mano made too many errors during the Yeezus tour why he was fired. During live shows, West would be forced to improvise during dead air or after an abrupt mix.
It is still unclear whether the split was mutual or not, but tweets imply the two will remain friends.
Watch the video below and peep Mano’s tweets on his departure and relationship with ‘Ye.
