Did Kanye Pay $85K for Photo of Whitney Houston’s drug-sprinkled bathroom

The album cover of the new Pusha T album was reportedly purchased by Kanye West for $85,000. However that is not the cause of confusion for some. The photo is from Whitney Houston bathroom that clearly show drugs sprinkled on the countertop.

During an interview with Angie Martinez on Wednesday night, Pusha T explained that Kanye replaced the artwork his forthcoming album, “Daytona,” and replaced it with a image of what he said is Houston’s bathroom.

“1 a.m., my phone rings, no caller-ID,” Pusha told Martinez. “‘Hey, yeah, I think that we should change the artwork. I like this other artwork.’ Now this other artwork is 85 grand. I said, ‘Hey, I don’t want to pay for that. And I wasn’t even going to ask you to pay for that. We picked what we picked. It’s here, it’s ready.’ ‘No, this what people need to see to go with this music. I’ma pay for that.’”

The image, taken in 2006, allegedly depicts Houston’s bathroom in her Atlanta mansion littered with drugs and drug paraphernalia.

“Ummm, it’s a picture,” he explained. “It’s a picture. … It’s just a picture that to license it worldwide is 85 grand. I’m not really too, too, too entrenched in the art world like that. I’m just going to let him do that thing. And he’s paying for it.”

Is this another attempt by Kanye West to sell product? Is this a tasteless act by Kanye if this is really a photo of Whitney Houston’s bathroom? Why would he want the world to see this? Let me know your feelings on the album cover. “Daytona” dropped today.
