Kanye West is back in the spotlight, announcing his new album WW3 drops today, Thursday, April 3—yes, that’s right, the same day as this article! Fresh off leaking his 11th solo project Bully, the rap icon isn’t slowing down. According to DJ Akademiks, WW3 is ready to hit, and it’s already stirring up a storm.
On Wednesday, April 2, Kanye took to X to share a handwritten tracklist alongside sketches of swastikas, unveiling 11 tracks with jaw-dropping titles like “Heil Hitler,” “Free Diddy,” “Virgil Let Me Down,” “Cosby,” “Nitrous,” and “Hitler Ye and Jesus.” The only featured artist? Dave Blunts, a rising rapper who’s been making waves with his viral codeine-fueled hit “The Cup” and his health struggles. Kanye’s a fan, saying, “His raps give me the energy of my tweets.”

One track, “Bianca,” pulls back the curtain on Kanye’s personal life. He reveals his wife, Bianca Censori, left him after clashing over his wild social media rants. In a high-pitched flow over a soul sample, he raps, “She’s having a panic attack and she is not liking the way that I tweeted / Until Bianca’s back, I stay up all night, I’m not going to sleep.” He goes deeper, saying she tried to have him “committed” to a hospital—likely for mental health—and that he tracked her via an app after she took off. “I’m tracking my bitch through the city / I guess we the new Cassie and Diddy,” he spits, referencing another messy celebrity split.

Rumors of trouble between Kanye and Bianca have swirled for months, though their rep, Milo Yiannopoulos, shot them down in February. Now, it seems the split is real. Will WW3 land on Spotify or stay exclusive to Kanye’s site? And will it even drop today, given his track record of delays? No one’s sure yet.
Kanye also stirred the pot during a Wednesday stream with Akademiks, hinting at a possible collab with Drake. “I sent ‘Preacher Man’ off Bully to Drake first,” he said, adding that Drake brushed it off. Still, Ye’s hopeful: “I think before it’s all said and done, we’ll do an album.” Frenemies to friends? We’ll see.
WW3 promises to be Kanye unfiltered—controversial, personal, and in your face. Buckle up.
