Kanye West's long-lost album Donda 2 just dropped and the internet's already spiralling
It's 2025 and Kanye West just did the most Kanye thing ever—he surprise-dropped Donda 2, the so-called 'lost' sequel to his 2021 Donda, straight onto Spotify and Tidal like it never ghosted us in the first place. Kanye West new album titled Donda 2 released After two years of cryptic livestreams, broken promises, and that bizarre Stem Player exclusivity stunt, Ye's fans can finally breathe—and stream. Initially teased in early 2022, the project had been locked away like a secret mixtape only the chosen few (with cash to burn on that USB-like gadget) could hear. But now? It is public, chaotic, and classic Kanye. What is Donda? Titled Donda on platforms, yes, he kept it minimalistic, it is a sprawling 18-track fever dream featuring Future, Ty Dolla Sign, Jack Harlow, and even his ex-wife Kim Kardashian... sort of. The track SCIFI includes a rather iconic clip from Kim's 2021 Saturday Night Live monologue where she, very diplomatically, describes Ye as a genius and 'the richest Black man in America.' No word yet on whether Kim, now 44, signed off on the cameo, but it is giving very much 'I forgot I had a mic on.' Me 5 seconds into Kanye West's "DONDA 2" Jack Harlow also pulls up with his lyrical luggage on Louie Bag, while the album's production sounds like a rollercoaster through Ye's mind—loud, unpredictable, and unapologetically out there. Of course, this is Kanye we are talking about. The man who literally said he admired Hitler and called it a 'social experiment.' Back in 2022, those antisemitic rants got him cancelled by brands faster than you can say 'Yeezy.' And just earlier this year, he spun another series of hate-fuelled tweets into the ether, claiming (and then unclaiming) that it was all for art. Kanye West's album starring his son Saint Despite it all, Ye stays musically active. Remember Bully? That random short film album that starred his son Saint West fighting anime wrestlers in a ring? Yeah, us neither. It vanished from the internet faster than his last apology. How listening to Kanye West "DONDA 2" feels like. As for Donda 2, Ye said during a livestream that this is not the final form. The album might keep evolving—because why release a finished album when you can drop an eternal WIP instead? In the world of Ye, nothing is ever really finished... except maybe your patience.

Kanye West Twitter rant erupts as unfinished album BULLY V1 drops with AI vocals
Kanye West has once again ignited social media with a string of controversial tweets, coinciding with the surprise release of his latest album and short film, BULLY V1. Over the past few days, West has taken to Twitter with a barrage of posts targeting fellow artists, former collaborators, and even technology, leading to widespread online debate. The rapper, who has frequently used social media to express his unfiltered thoughts, initially teased BULLY V1 but later admitted that the album remains unfinished, with half of its vocals generated by AI. However, in a surprising reversal, West expressed regret over his use of artificial intelligence in music production, despite previously championing the technology. 'I ma resting cause I actually hate AI now,' he wrote, signaling an abrupt shift in his stance. West's Twitter tirade extended beyond music, taking aim at industry heavyweights like Jay-Z and Beyoncé. At the same time, he voiced frustration with streaming platforms, hinting at a potential shift away from DSPs for future releases. Moments before BULLY V1 dropped, he asked fans whether they would prefer DONDA 3 or VULTURES 3, despite DONDA 2 already existing. West's online outburst follows a pattern of unpredictable and often controversial behavior on social media, fueling speculation about his future projects and public persona. While some fans embraced the chaos, others raised concerns over his increasingly erratic online presence. Given his history of deleting posts, it remains uncertain how long these tweets will stay live.
