For a polarizing sequel to “Jail” with JAY-Z, Kanye West enlists DaBaby – fresh off the heels of controversy regarding homophobic statements made at Rolling Loud Miami – and Marilyn Manson – fresh off the heels of multiple sexual assault scandals.

During the third listening event for "Donda", held on August 26, 2021, Kanye debuted this song, containing a verse from DaBaby in place of JAY-Z. In his verse, DaBaby, who previously collaborated with Kanye on the remix of Ye’s 2020 track “Nah Nah Nah”, reflects on his cancellation resulting from his controversial performance at Rolling Loud Miami.

“Jail pt 2” was first unavailable on release night for "Donda", allegedly due to problems clearing DaBaby’s verse which is seen in an Instagram post by Kanye West. The post reveals that label Universal Music Group apparently released "Donda" without Kanye’s permission, and also blocked “Jail pt 2” from being on the project.

On August 29, 2021, the same day "Donda" was released, Kanye West made an Instagram post, sharing his text conversation with his elusive manager, Bu Thiam.

He addressed that DaBaby’s manager would not clear his verse, and also shared that the record label, Universal Music Group, tried to block the song from being released.

“Jail, Pt. 2” debuted at #34 on the Rolling Stone’s Top 100 Songs Chart during the week ending September 2, 2021.
