Grammy-winning rapper Kanye West is low-key making big Ye changes. The hip-hop veteran quietly updated his “I Thought About Killing You” track to now include a lyric about slavery.

On Ye’s revamped version, he clearly references his recent “slavery was a choice” TMZ drama.

On ‘I Thought About Killing You’, there is a new line that can be heard on the last verse of the song. After “If I wasn’t shinin’ so hard, wouldn’t be no shade,” the rapper now rhymes, “Sorry but I chose not to be no slave.” Interestingly, this change has only appeared on the clean version of the song on almost all platforms — the dirty version of the song still doesn’t feature the line.

Earlier in the week, reports emerged about the 7-track project doing ridiculous numbers on various streaming giants.

Kanye West’s album, “Ye,” is already crushing numbers … and it’s only been available for a few days. Numbers for the 7-song project are astounding — Kanye’s filled the top 7 song spots on both Spotify and Apple Music — and the album’s already accumulated over 100 million streams total.

To add to those stats …

— #1 iTunes Album in 63 countries.
— #1 Spotify global peak position.
— #1 Apple Music album in 83 countries. (TMZ)

The hip-hop heavyweight’s new LP is set to destroy its competition with its first-week sales.

Paul Rosenberg and Team Def Jam, having just returned from a whirlwind trip to Wyoming, are noting the numbers of Kanye West’s new, highly touted seven-song release.

On Saturday, Kanye went to Twitter to give fans an opportunity to create their own version of his album cover and also show love to day one supporters.
