Kanye West’s ‘WW3’ Album Announcement Follows Controversial Interview Appearance

Kanye West is once again making headlines, this time with the announcement of his new album titled WW3, just weeks after the release of BULLY. The news was first shared by DJ Akademiks via Twitter on April 2, revealing that Ye would be dropping his follow-up project imminently. The rapper also unveiled a provocative tracklist featuring shocking song titles such as “Hitler Ye And Jesus”, “Free Diddy”, and others that are already stirring public outrage.

Controversial Album Cover Sparks Backlash

Alongside the announcement, Kanye West revealed the official cover art for WW3, depicting two individuals dressed in KKK-inspired robes standing in front of hay bales. This imagery mirrors Ye’s recent behavior during a viral interview with DJ Akademiks, where he wore a similar black robe and hood. The interview showcased what many have described as an unhinged rant reminiscent of his controversial social media posts.

This new visual direction is already drawing criticism for its offensive nature, continuing a disturbing trend in Kanye’s recent public appearances and creative output. His actions have sparked widespread discussions around the limits of artistic expression and the social responsibilities of public figures.

Insight Into Kanye’s Personal Life in New Tracks

The upcoming album also dives deep into Kanye West’s personal life, particularly his tumultuous relationship with his wife, Bianca Censori. In a song titled after her name, Kanye reveals intimate details about their fallout, including a panic attack Bianca allegedly experienced due to his social media behavior. He also mentions tracking her using the Maybach app following her departure.

Lyrics like:

“My baby she ran away / But first she tried to get me committed… / She’s having a panic attack and she is not liking the way that I tweeted”
point to the emotionally charged nature of the project.

Will Kanye West’s ‘WW3’ Album Actually Drop?

While the announcement has generated significant buzz, Kanye West is notorious for missing album deadlines. It remains unclear if WW3 will officially drop today, but fans and critics alike are watching closely. Whether or not the album releases, it has already fueled major discourse in the music world and beyond.
