His upcoming album is already causing waves—before it is even out. What does he have up his sleeve this time?

Ye's circle in the industry seems to shrink with each passing day, as his love-hate relationships shift, and now, his latest target has joined the list of those caught in his crossfire.

Announced right after 'Bully', 'WW3' features a controversial tracklist with titles like 'Hitler Ye And Jesus' and 'Free Diddy,' alongside provocative cover art. Although the album missed its April 3 release, Ye previewed it during a Twitch session. The stream also featured a snippet of his contentious song 'Heil Hitler,' which targets Drake.
