Benny The Butcher Explains Why He's Not On Kanye West's 'Donda' Album

by Daryl Nelson

When Kanye West's Donda album dropped last year, sBenny The Butcher wasn't on it

That was surprise.  The Buffalo rhymer had spent some time at Ye's ranch in Wyoming to record, and he was expected to have at least a verse on Donda.

Benny explained why he didn't during an interview on Power 106.

"I think this is why I'm not [on Donda]," said Benny. "I went out there to get on the motherf*cka like everybody else... We left from here, L.A., I had like a half a pound of weed on me at that small ass airport. Shook as a motherf*cka ... We went there but you know what? My daughter had to perform at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta ... I had to see that ... I did not want to leave. I was out there in Wyoming for two days. We was just listening to beats. Havoc was there, everybody was out there, so I came back and it was pandemic. It was no traveling and West was still over here, [Conway The Machine] was still over here, they was all together. They end up flying back to L.A. on a jet and then going back but I had already left."

Do you think Benny should have stayed in Wyoming back then instead of going to Atlanta?
