Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, is on a personal roll this month and is not showing signs of slowing down anytime soon.

The rapper spent the entire April promoting his upcoming album CUCK, which was originally named WW3.

Ye did livestreams with DJ Akademiks and Digital Nas, who also collaborated with the artist on his latest song COUSINS.

Earlier this month, the 47-year-old disclosed on X, formerly Twitter, that his collaborator Dave Blunts wrote the lyrics of every track on the new album.

Blunts also shared that the album is about “one man going between hurt, betrayal and pain” and assured fans that none of the songs contain anti-Semitic lyrics.

Which leads us to April 28, when the Stronger singer revealed the official track listing of CUCK.

He shared a screenshot which contained the album’s highly controversial cover art along with the list of 12 songs and their duration.

Curiously, the album is listed as “CUCK V2,” which is confusing some fans as the screengrab is supposed to be of version one.

The track titles are also noteworthy as the first song on the list is called BIANCA, which is named after Ye’s wife.

Also on the list are tracks like JARED, VIRGIL and NITROUS, suggesting that every song is a well-thought-out reference to what’s currently going on in Ye’s life.

However, two of the titles do insinuate anti-Semitic themes despite Blunts’ reassurances.

The last two tracks are JESUS and COSBY, ensuring fans that Ye’s next album is bound to be controversial.

Is Kanye West still the owner of Yeezy?

Fashion brand and record label Yeezy was founded by Ye, better known as Kanye West, in August 2013.

Despite facing recent setbacks due to Ye’s controversial behaviour, the brand is still active and was incorporated as a subsidiary of Yeezy LLC.
