Artist Marina Abramović feels completely used by Jay Z

Marina Abramović, the artist who collaborated with Jay Z on his Picasso Baby video two years ago, said the experience was ‘cruel’ and something she never wants to repeat. The famous artist says, Jay Z completely used her and that she would never work with him again… In an interview with Spike Magazine Marina said

“There was one reason I agreed to work with Jay Z that I can’t talk about. I am very pissed by this, since he adapted my work only under one condition: That he would help my institute. Which he didn’t.”

“The day before, he came to my office and I gave him an entire power point presentation and said: okay, you can help me, because I really need help to build this thing. Then he just completely used me. And that wasn’t fair. This is very different from Lady Gaga, for example, who has done great work for me. Just by having 45 million followers, she brought all these young kids into my public.”

“And in the end it was only a one-way transaction. I will never do it again, that I can say. Never. I was really naive in this kind of world. It was really new to me, and I had no idea that this would happen. It’s so cruel, it’s incredible. I will stay away from it for sure.”
