Kanye West Says ‘DONDA 2’ Drops In February, Allegedly
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: @kanyewest / Instagram Kanye West has been a busy man of late. Along with the media attention-grabbing behavior including his takes on co-parenting and styling his rebound, Ye has been working on DONDA 2, and says it will be out in February. The “Power” rapper took to Instagram to make the announcement. Per Ye, the album will be out on February 2, 2022, and is also being executive produced by star Atlanta rapper Future. This is where we point out that Ye’s career is marked with a bunch of sequel albums that never actually came to fruition including Yeezus 2, Turbo Grafx 16 and Watch the Throne 2. This rather tight timeline also makes you wonder if Ye is going to throw any elaborate listening parties like he did for DONDA. Nevertheless, it wasn’t stopped h...

It was ultimately nominated for a number of Grammys, including Album of the Year and Best Rap Album. Prior to its release, West hosted a number of release parties, most controversially, the one in Ch...

HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Christian Vierig / Getty Kanye West’s rebound, Julia Fox, does not care about your thoughts on her relationship with the embattled Hip-Hop superstar.

For those that do give a damn, there have been plenty of thoughts about the “whirlwind romance” between the multi-hyphenate and the Uncut Gems star. Fox decided to address the comments about her and Ye’s relationship on her podcast, Forbidden Fruits with Niki Takesh. In ...
