Does Yeezus have a new album dropping on June 10th? Well, if the above postcard that was sent to the Complex offices and three other writers today is believed to be true, this might be a possibility.
Trolls are going to troll, but is Kanye’s New Testament a troll or nah? Guess we’re going to have to wait until June 10th gets here (or until someone comes forward with more info) to find out for sure. Stay tuned.
Complex did some additional digging. Check out what they found below.
Update: Turns out the albums rumors are completely fake. 100% fu fu. Hit the jump for details.
After doing some digging, we came upon this Reddit thread with the same postcard and links to aTwitter and Facebook, each of which have only one post, and were started on May 29th. The Facebook only likes one other page, which is of a hip-hop site called Rap Basement. Kanye’s fansite, KTT, also has a post on the proposed album title of New Testament, which was made five days ago on May 30.
On the flipside of the card, which was addressed to our contributing writer, Justin Davis, there’s a message that reads “I only listen to people who are younger than me” along with a mysterious signature. On the lower left hand side, it looks like this card specifically is number 84 of 225. The quote used on the back of the card is actually a quote from Ye himself, featured in an interviewfrom October of 2013.A source in Kanye’s camp tells Gawker that a photo of a Michelangelo painting, announcing a new Yeezy album, that’s circulating the web, is 100% phony. “We have no idea what this is,” the insider said. “It’s not coming from us.”
Last November, Kim Kardashian’s hubby revealed that he was already working on the follow-up to his seventh studio effort, Yeezus, which dropped in June 2013. “I haven’t named my next album but I have started on it,” he told Philly’s Power 99. “I write down philosophies all the time. I’m just constantly working.”
