Kanye West has publicly addressed rumors surrounding the alleged leak of his collaborative album with James Blake, titled War. The speculation intensified when artist Albe Back claimed on Instagram that he wrote a song called “What I Would’ve Said At Virgil’s Funeral.” West quickly refuted this assertion, stating on Twitter/X, “This is not real.”
Albe Back responded to the situation with a post on his Instagram Story, suggesting that it was merely a slow news day. He added, “But I’ll pass a poly for sure,” implying he is truthful about his involvement. In a subsequent social media post, West reiterated his position, urging followers to consult James Blake. “The whole album that leaked is made from freestyles that I did with James over his beats,” he explained. “You can tell because there’s missing words. The melody is super special when I sing ‘always.'”
Clarifying Misunderstandings
This incident is not the first time West has sought to clarify misinformation about himself in recent days. Earlier, he dismissed claims about a bucket list circulating online that purportedly belonged to him. “That so-called bucket list is fake. It’s not my handwriting,” he asserted. The list included various adventurous activities, such as owning a pug and swimming with sharks.
Despite the rumors, West has been actively engaging with fans and the public. Recently, he surprised attendees at a comedy show headlined by Deon Cole in Hollywood. When Cole inquired about upcoming projects, West simply announced, “New album,” without providing further details.
Personal Life Developments
In addition to his professional endeavors, West has been seen spending time with his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, during the holiday season for the sake of their children. A source told TMZ that the former couple is currently being “cordial with each other.” The source further noted that West is “really working on himself” following a period marked by controversy and erratic behavior.
As Kanye West continues to navigate the complexities of his career and personal life, he remains a figure of significant interest in the music industry. The outcome of the War album saga remains to be seen, but the artist is clearly intent on controlling the narrative surrounding his work and personal brand.
