Kanye West is making waves once again, not just with the announcement of his new album, WW3, but also with the revelation that he has split from his wife, Bianca Censori. The announcement, which came just days after he leaked his 11th solo LP, Bully, has sent shockwaves through the music and media landscape. According to reports, WW3 is set to be released on Thursday, April 3, just days after West shared a handwritten tracklist on social media.
A Bold and Controversial Tracklist
In a typically Kanye West fashion, the tracklist for WW3 has stirred up significant controversy. The album features provocative song titles such as “Heil Hitler,” “Free Diddy,” “Virgil Let Me Down,” “Cosby,” “Nitrous,” and “Hitler Ye and Jesus.” The inclusion of such charged references has raised concerns among fans and critics alike, sparking debates about West’s mental state and artistic intentions.
The rapper shared the handwritten tracklist on X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday, April 2, alongside disturbing drawings, including swastikas. The decision to unveil such provocative content only adds to the ongoing discussion of West’s increasingly erratic behavior in the public eye.
Dave Blunts: The Sole Feature on WW3
While WW3 will be a deeply personal album for Kanye, it also marks the collaboration between West and up-and-coming rapper Dave Blunts. Blunts, who has garnered attention in recent months for his health struggles and his viral anthem “The Cup,” is the sole guest featured on the 11-song album. West has referred to Blunts as his “favorite rapper,” claiming that his music gives him the same energy as his own tweets.
The inclusion of Blunts is notable, as it suggests that West is continuing to align himself with a new generation of artists while distancing himself from many of his previous collaborators.
A Heartfelt Track About Bianca Censori
One of the standout tracks on WW3 is called “Bianca,” which details West’s relationship with his wife, Bianca Censori, and their recent struggles. The song is a raw and emotional account of the couple’s troubles, with West admitting that Censori left him over his inflammatory social media posts. On the track, West pleads for his wife to “come back to me,” while rapping in a high-pitched voice over a soul sample.
“I’m tracking my bitch through an app / I’m tracking my bitch through the city / I guess we the new Cassie and Diddy,” West spits on the track, reflecting on the tension in his marriage. The song also touches on Censori allegedly trying to have him committed to a mental health facility, a claim that adds another layer of complexity to their personal drama.
The song’s raw vulnerability is in stark contrast to the controversial content of the rest of the album, offering a rare glimpse into West’s emotional turmoil.
Uncertain Release and Future Collaborations
As of now, it’s unclear whether WW3 will be released on streaming platforms or if West will opt for an exclusive release on his own website. Given his track record of missing release deadlines, fans are cautious about whether the album will actually drop on Thursday as planned.
West’s recent behavior and social media posts have raised questions about the long-term direction of his career. However, in a recent livestream with Akademiks, West hinted at a potential collaboration with his longtime frenemy, Drake. After sharing that he had sent Drake a track from Bully titled “Preacher Man,” West suggested that the two may work together on a full-length album in the future.
“I think before it’s all said and done, we’ll do an album,” West said during the stream, fueling speculation about a possible joint project.
The Impact of WW3 on Kanye West’s Legacy
With WW3, Kanye West is continuing to push boundaries, both artistically and personally. The album’s controversial content, mixed with West’s personal struggles, suggests that WW3 will be a deeply introspective and polarizing project. Fans and critics alike are eager to see how this new chapter in West’s career unfolds, as the rapper navigates his personal turmoil and continues to redefine his legacy in the music industry.
Whether WW3 becomes another hit or further cements Kanye’s place as one of the most unpredictable figures in music remains to be seen. But one thing is for sure—when it comes to Kanye West, there is never a dull moment.
