Grammy-winning rapper Kanye West has finally let fans hear what he’s worked on for the past few months. Yeezy has come through and provided longtime supporters with a listen to his new Ye album.
Last night in Wyoming, Kanye livestreamed his newest project since 2016’s The Life of Pablo.
After a series of controversial Twitter rants, Kanye West has released his much-anticipated album, Ye, The rapper unveiled the album Thursday night at a listening party in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. The event was livestreamed online, and featured a select group of celebrities such as Chris Rock, along with journalists from the industry, who detailed the party on social media. (CNN)
Despite only having seven tracks, Kanye managed to address everything from his wife Kim Kardashian to music mogul Russell Simmons.
The rapper revealed how Kardashian West reacted after his comments about slavery on one track. “Wife calling screaming saying we’re about to lose it all I had to calm her down ‘cos she couldn’t breathe/I told her she could leave me now but she wouldn’t leave,” he rapped. “This is what they mean for better or for worse huh?” “Russell Simmons want to pray for me too/ I pray for him because he got Me Too’d,” he rapped. West did not, perhaps surprisingly, mention President Donald Trump. (People)
