Kanye West has an all-new album prepared for release as he tries to make a comeback following his anti-Semitic statements that cost him millions of dollars last year. However, the rapper is having difficulty locating any big-name distributors, because are all retaining their distance. Kanye West is rumored to have completed a new album alongside rapper Ty Dolla $ign. However, as reported by Billboard, the project has been turned up by the industry’s top heavyweights. According to the site, every big label continues to steer away from Kanye, especially following the repercussions of his anti-Semitic rants late last year. The continuing conflict in Israel is thought to be exacerbating the uncertainty. According to Billboard, Ye is marketing the album to smaller distributors, with a few showing interest.

Kanye West is anticipated to make a decision soon, meaning the album might be published within the next several weeks. Kanye sought controversy nearly a year ago when he stated on Instagram, “Ima use you as an instance to demonstrate to the Jewish people who asked you to reach out to me that absolutely nobody is able to threaten or influence me.” A few days later, the rapper tweeted, “I’m somewhat weary tonight, but once I woke up, I’m going to go to death con [sic] 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE.” The actor continued to claim that he is not anti-Semitic since “black individuals are basically Jews as well,” as well as that he is a victim of a “Jewish underground press syndicate.” Ye lost sponsorships with both Gap and Adidas within days, and the rapper hasn’t released any new music since.
O HOMEM ESTÁ EMPOLGADO!!! 🔥🐐

Kanye West Is Struggling To Release A New Album Because ‘No Record Label Seeks To Work With Him’ Following The Rapper’s Anti-Semitic Remarks
Kanye West has postponed the release of his new album featuring Ty Dolla $ign as he seeks a distribution partner. According to a Billboard story released on Friday (Oct. 13), Kanye West has delayed the release of his new album with Ty Dolla $ign while he seeks a distribution partner. Their collaboration album was supposed to be published this Friday, but it will now be available on digital streaming services in the following weeks. According to sources, the Chicago rapper-producer is considering five separate offers. “[He] intends to release an announcement soon,” stated the insider. However, some record executives are anxious about the project due to Kanye’s previous anti-semitic sentiments, especially in light of the confrontation between Hamas and the Israeli government following the tragic attack on the Supernova Sukkot Gathering music event on Oct. 7. Despite the fact that some listeners believe the song is Kanye’s greatest effort since 2018’s Ye, several label executives have declined to have a chance to distribute the album. Kanye was said to be hard at work on his next album in August.
Orlando “Fya Man” Wilder, a Chicago producer who partnered with Ye on his Donda project, performed an AMA on Reddit and provided some facts regarding Ye’s progress. Kanye’s new songs, according to Fya Man, are “old Ye but fresh with the times.” He also revealed that the mercurial producer was working on the record at his birthday celebration in June 2023. “The music was completely centred and the whole night was amazing,” Fya Man, the singer-songwriter, remarked. Kanye then debuted a new track at the Mowalola SS24 design presentation in London in early September. Kanye attended a modest listening session in Italy in October, where he premiered new album tracks. Kanye West is said to be arranging a surprise concert in Italy to start off his comeback. However, local World War II veterans have already asked that the performance be cancelled. According to the Daily Mail, news of Kanye preparing a secret concert has stirred indignation among war veterans who had been rightfully outraged by the rapper’s support for Adolf Hitler.
