Kanye West May Be Losing His Manager

Kanye West’s new manager Irving Azoff has some nice nasty words for Mr.West according to NY Daily News.

A source tells the Daily News that Kanye is “unmanageable” due to his eccentricites.

Irving who is a Kardashian family friend- took on Kanye  as a client shortly after he started dating Kim 5 month ago.  The site explains Kanye’s intertwined relationship with Kris jenner, Kim & Irving saying:

“[Azoff] doesn’t know if he’ll be able to continue on with the relationship [with West],” the source explains.

West seems to share similar sentiments about the mogul, as a second source says the musician verbalized his feelings about the businessman at the Black Entertainment Television awards July 1, which were held in the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles.

The mercurial rapper was overheard describing Azoff, who oversees a plethora of artists like Christina Aguilera , Journey, Jewel , the Eagles and Van Halen, as “nothing special” and stating that he may fire Azoff. He was previously managed by Gee Robertson .

The problem could be bigger than just business, however. The initial source tells us Kanye was influenced by the Kardashian clan — especially Kim’s mom-ager Kris Jenner — to work with Azoff in the first place. The executive’s impressive track record in the industry didn’t hurt his case.

Azoff, who topped Billboard’s 2012 Power 100 and was named the most powerful person in the music industry, has a long history with the reality family, starting with Jenner’s first husband, the late Robert Kardashian. The music executive and lawyer had a working relationship with Azoff before passing away in 2003, and Azoff’s wife, Shelli , remains close to Jenner.

I think West should “get rid of him” in my Roman voice!!!!! Don’t change your manager because Chris Jenner makes a suggestion!

    These morons Azoff included have made the industry into something for arrogant and petty minded bullies. The industry is like the US economy. Lots of guns but nothing productive. Where billions can be made, millions instead are squandered.

    Agents and managers have created a market for piracy and it will continue. Asia is where the markets are. The subsidiaries and cronies of the big agents and mangers do not hold sway over us. You bring out an album it costs you millions to produce and market. We do it for the price of a meal and make millions out of it. Thats because your agents and managers treat people they don’t know like they are lesser beings. But I suppose the high of coke can cure that terrible feeling of reality.

    If Kayne wants a future, get out of CAA and other agencies and managers like Azoff. They are nothing. They operate in a monopoly situation. We too can do the same. Their existences makes the “alternative market” more lucrative.

    New artistes you want a real manager and a real future avoid these assholes.
