The former Kanye West is preparing to drop a new album during what’s been his most controversial and disturbing year yet, and the alleged track list features some truly shocking song titles.
The Nazi-sympathizing Ye—who recently polled his fans on whether N**r Cock or White Rape would make a better album title—claims he’ll soon release a new album called WW3. This teased project comes right after he released the visual album Bully, and he shared the provocative track titles for the 11-song album in a post on Elon Musk’s X platform.
Alongside two swastika drawings, the handwritten track list shows just one featured artist—Dave Blunts on the opening title track. The second song is titled “Cosby,” almost certainly referencing Bill Cosby, who’s faced sexual misconduct accusations from over 60 women.
Ye previously mentioned Cosby on his 2016 track “Facts,” rapping, “Does anybody feel bad for Bill Cosby?”
The third song appears to be “Free Diddy,” another artist facing sexual misconduct allegations. Ye has been vocally supportive of Sean “Diddy” Combs recently, even sharing audio from a phone call he made to the embattled Bad Boy Records founder.
Track four, “Dirty Magazines,” likely references his well-documented obsession with pornography. The fifth song, named after his wife Bianca Censori, seemingly addresses their relationship breakdown amid his recent behavior.
“Virgil Let Me Down” comes sixth, probably continuing Ye’s recent criticism of the late Virgil Abloh, whom he worked closely with when alive. The seventh song is bluntly titled “Heil Hitler,” another provocation as Ye continues embracing far-right extremism. “Hitler Ye and Jesus” is eighth on the list.
The ninth track, “Jared,” doesn’t have an obvious reference—it could be about his former friend Jared Kushner or convicted pedophile and former Subway spokesman Jared Fogle.
Track ten, “Money and Fame,” covers familiar territory for Ye, while the final song, “Nitrous,” likely references last year’s allegation from Ye’s former chief of staff that the rapper was addicted to nitrous oxide.
In an Instagram post, The Game also shared what looks like the cover art for WW3. The image shows two figures wearing KKK robes and hoods standing in front of hay bales.
Whether this album ever actually drops is anyone’s guess. Ye has a long track record of hyping up projects that never see the light of day, like TurboGrafx 16, Yandhi, or the third installment of his Vultures series with Ty Dolla Sign.
Before revealing the supposed track list for WW3, Ye released a video for the title track featuring repurposed footage from the Emmy-winning 1977 miniseries Roots showing a woman being whipped.
Ye also recently showed up wearing a black KKK-style hood during an interview with DJ Akademiks, who never once questioned why his guest was using imagery associated with a hate group.
