Ye has confirmed that he didn't write any of the songs on his forthcoming album, crediting the rhymes to Dave Blunts, a relatively unknown artist he's seemingly taken under his creative wing.
In a clip that surfaced online, Blunts revealed that he was the sole author of Ye's lyrics on Cuck, the 48-year-old's highly anticipated release. 'Every song on that album… I wrote that sh*t, me,' Blunts said of his work on the project.
According to Blunts, the creation of the album was the sum of 'one man going between hurt, betrayal and pain and he's putting that sh*t down,' an account Ye himself has since confirmed. 'This is true,' the GRAMMY Award winning artist and producer wrote in a post on X.
'We would talk for hours, then he'd write three songs in a day,' Ye said of his time with Blunts, who he recently deemed as his current favorite rap artist in a previous social media post after being introduced to his music
Originally titled WW3, Cuck has yet to receive a release date, but has already caused waves amongst Hip-Hop fans and beyond. Much of this buzz is off strength of a snippet of Ye's new song, 'Cousins,' in which he admits to having had an incestuous relationship with a male cousin during his prepubescent and teen years.
'Hanging with my cousin reading dirty magazines/ We seen some ni**as kiss and we ain't know what that sh*t mean/ Then we start reenacting everything that we had seen/ That's when I gave my cousin head,' the controversial hitmaker rhymes on the track, which surfaced earlier this week.
Ye would later reveal that the inspiration behind the song was based on his real-life experience, writing, 'My name is Ye and I sucked my cousins dick till I was 14″ in an X post following the snippet's release.
As for Cuck's release date, nothing is concrete, as has been the case with recent efforts by Ye, yet Blunts is under the belief the album will be unveiled in short order.
'It's coming soon. I know it's coming soon. And I know that it will drop, but I don't know when it is.'
