“Harry Styles wears a wig” to “Lee Mitchell can not read”, the entertainment industry has a knack for birthing rumors that usually have no basis in reality. Especially when it comes to mega-celebrities, like Kanye West, people can really transform simple whispers into full-blown tall tales. Ever since the talks about West making his musical comeback tickled fans’ ears, they took on the role of internet detectives, turning every digital rock to find some news. Amidst all the chatter, the cryptic stories and tweets from Metro Boomin whipped up another narrative.

The American record producer rolled up his sleeves and willingly jumped into the rumors surrounding Kanye West’s upcoming album with Ty Dolla $ign. However, recently, he made a statement that, once again, cast doubt on his involvement with the album.

Is Metro Boomin a part of Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign’s album?

On Thursday, Metro Boomin did his one-night-only Red Bull Symphonic show, where he translated his music into wide-screen at Los Angeles’ Dolby Theatre. He gave a short phone interview to Complex before showtime, where he talked about his ongoing project in the making. “All I can see right now is me and Future’s album. Nothing else until that’s out,” said the Grammy-winning producer about his next. Future, the award-winning rapper, is no stranger to collaborating with the popular record producer and is gearing up for another release with him.

Boomin made this statement just a day after tweeting “¥$¥$¥$” on X, formerly Twitter. This cryptic tweet led fans to assume a potential Metro Boomin mix for the upcoming collaborative project. However, shortly after sharing the tweet, Boomin deleted it, creating even more puzzlement online. This not only led to doubts about Boomin’s association, but also sowed seeds of uncertainty regarding the album’s release. However, given that the listening party’s date for the upcoming banger is out, the album could be on the table.

Before sharing the cryptic tweet on Instagram, Metro Boomin also shared the listening party announcement on his social media.

Ty Dolla $ign announced a multi-stadium listening event for an upcoming album with Kanye West on 23rd October. However, with that canceled, the new date is probably 3rd November, a day when all these nagging rumors will finally come to a close. Right after he made the announcement, Metro Boomin shared the post on his Instagram story to promote the album. Hours after this, Boomin shared another cryptic story of him being in Florence, Italy.

Boomin was reportedly present at Kanye West’s villa in Italy, which elevated the curiosity to new heights. And all this confusion could be credited to the ‘Donda’ rapper, who has been consciously keeping his quiet to build intrigue around the project. Meanwhile, other artists like Babyxsosa are artfully leaving breadcrumbs to ramp up the intrigue surrounding the album. Fans will have to wait for a few more days to unravel what really has been going on with Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign’s next.
