The artist has formally requested his name be removed from the track “This One Here,” stating the final version diverges from his original work.
James Blake has asked to have his production credit removed from the Kanye West album Bully. The request specifically concerns the track “This One Here.”
Blake clarified his position in a statement, noting the released version of the song is a complete departure from his own contribution. He described his original production as being different in spirit from what ultimately appeared on the record.
The formal withdrawal of credit is a notable move, highlighting a clear disconnect between the artist’s work and the final product. It places a public marker on a creative disagreement, moving it from backroom discussion to official record.
Blake’s request has been processed on streaming services, where his name no longer appears in the credits for the song. The incident underscores the often opaque nature of collaborative production, especially within large-scale commercial projects.
