The company was apparently on board to livestream this week’s ‘Donda 2’ launch party. On Friday evening, DJ Akademiks claimed on Twitter that Apple had pulled out of a “$2 million+” sponsorship deal with West following his announcement that he’ll be holding his new record back from all the streaming services.

Though that’s equates to sales of around 8000 devices. Initially that sounds like quite a lot of money. Since announcing that his new album ‘Donda 2’ will only be available via his own Stem Player, Kanye West reckons that he’s sold more than $2 million worth of the devices.
