If you’re working on an album that’s going to end up being number one in the Billboard charts on your iPhone, it’s probably sensible to at the very least back it up to the cloud.

It seems Kanye didn’t bother however, as Kim Kardashian-West explained on Kocktails With Khloe (I think that’s the show name? It could be a segment on KUWTK, I really don’t know):

“Kanye had every single rap in his iPhone before he started really working on Pablo, and then North flushed it down the toilet,” Kim recalled. “And they could not be retrieved. We sent it to like four places.”

Dinner guests Khloe, John Legend and wife Chrissy Teigen were obviously all like “oh my gyyyyaaaaaddd”, “no waaaaay”.

“No Apple Genius was genius enough,” Kanye quipped, with Kim adding that “he didn’t even get mad.”

The accident ultimately didn’t matter, as Ye turned out a hit album regardless.

It emerged this week that he being sued by a fan over TLOP though, who claims customers were promised it as a Tidal exclusive, only for it to end up on Spotify and Apple Music.
