AceShowbiz - Marilyn Manson is reportedly working extensively with Kanye West on the upcoming "Donda 2". The "Beautiful People" singer, who has been hit with sexual assault allegations, is said to be coming to the studio "every day" to work with the "Runaway" rapper.
"Donda" producer and Ye's collaborator, Digital Nas, told Rolling Stone on Monday, January 31 that he sees the 53-year-old crooner in the studio frequently. "Every day I go to the studio, Marilyn is in there working on 'Donda 2'," Digital Nas said.
"[Ye] doesn't want Marilyn to play rap beats," Digital Nas further explained. "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'."
Digital Nas went on saying, "[Ye] has some producers from 'Yeezus' working on 'Donda 2' this time around, [as well as] Marilyn, me, [and] a bunch of producers from 'Donda 1'." Of Marilyn's sexual assault case, Digital Nas weighed in, "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.' "
Previously, Ye faced heavy backlash for collaborating with Marilyn, whose real name is Brian Hugh Warner, on the song "Jail Pt.2". Marilyn also appeared at one of Ye's stadium listening parties for his "Donda" album at Soldier Field in Chicago.
The criticism stemmed from the sexual and physical accusations made by multiple women, including Evan Rachel Wood, "Game of Thrones" actress Esme Bianco as well as model Ashley Morgan Smithline, against Marilyn. Following the allegations, Marilyn was dropped by his label Loma Vista, as well as his agent, manager and publicist. He was also axed from scheduled appearances on TV shows, including "American Gods" and "Creepshow".
More recently, Marilyn was accused of "essentially" raping his ex-partner Evan Rachel while making his "Heart-Shaped Glasses" music video. However, the musician denied the shocking claims via his lawyer, Howard King.
"Of all the false claims that Evan Rachel Wood has made about Brian Warner, her imaginative retelling of the making of the 'Heart-Shaped Glasses' music video 15 years ago is the most brazen and easiest to disprove," so said Howard. On the reasons why, the lawyer insisted, "Because there were multiple witnesses."
