Welp. Kanye Bizarre—sorry, West—is again at it with one other spherical of head-scratching antics, and this time he’s turning his controversial dial to 11. The artist previously often called Kanye West took to X (previously Twitter) to drop the duvet artwork for his upcoming mission WW3, and let’s simply say… it’s giving “what within the white hooded hell is occurring right here?”
The paintings options two figures in full-on Ku Klux Klan costumes standing shoulder-to-shoulder in entrance of stacked bales of hay. Sure, hay. And sure, hoods. It’s giving hate group stylish—and confusion. The Sport rapidly reposted and deleted the picture on Instagram. Nonetheless, whether or not he’s concerned within the album or simply doing his day by day scroll-shock-share routine is unclear.
Now, this announcement comes as Kanye goes by means of it personally. He and his spouse, Bianca Censori, are on the outs, and naturally, he’s airing all of it out by means of the music. One of many upcoming tracks from WW3 is titled “Bianca,” and it consists of lyrics which can be as chaotic as his social media historical past. Within the music, Ye seemingly blames his Twitter fingers for the collapse of their marriage, spitting strains like:
“She’s having a panic assault and she or he just isn’t liking the way in which that I tweeted.”
Accountability? Perhaps? But additionally, who names a monitor “Heil Hitler” in 2025 and expects applause? That’s additionally on the tracklist, together with “Cosby,” “Free Diddy,” and a lone function from an artist named Dave Blunts, and no, we don’t know him both.
Ye’s current strikes are beginning to really feel much less like avant-garde artistry and extra like an exhausting cry for consideration. His final mission, BULLY, was uploaded to YouTube as a 45-minute video however is nowhere to be discovered on main streaming companies. That rollout additionally included a short Apple Music look earlier than disappearing into the void, very like most of Ye’s secure relationships.
In the meantime, he’s been popping up in livestreams with DJ Akademiks, dropping soundbites like scorching fries. In a single particularly disturbing stream, Ye rocked a black Ku Klux Klan outfit (sure, a black model of the KKK gown), a swastika chain, and a Sean John tee.
He additionally casually reignited his will-they-won’t-they saga with Drake, claiming he despatched the Toronto rapper a monitor from BULLY and teasing a attainable joint album down the road.
“I believe earlier than it’s all mentioned and completed, we’ll do an album,” Ye mentioned, sounding just like the ex who nonetheless thinks y’all may get again collectively even after burning your own home down.
With the discharge date nonetheless up within the air, it’s unclear how WW3 will really drop—whether or not it’ll hit main streaming platforms or keep unique to Ye’s personal website. Contemplating his historical past of last-minute modifications and missed deadlines, followers are retaining their expectations in verify.
At this level, Kanye’s profession has develop into a cross between a live-action efficiency artwork piece and an unhinged YouTube rabbit gap. With no confirmed launch date for WW3, we’re all simply sitting right here watching the mess unfold in actual time.
One factor’s for positive: Kanye stays within the headlines, even when it means sporting one… on his head.
