Where Is Kanye West? New Album Is Reportedly In The Works

Since ending his Saint Pablo Tour early and going to the hospital for mental health issues, Kanye West hasn’t been seen out in public too often. After not taking the stage during his own Yeezy fashion show and missing last week’s Met Gala, we now know what Kanye has been up to.

According to TMZ, the “Famous” rapper is currently staying at a Wyoming mountaintop retreat, working on his new album. The website claims to know exactly where he is staying but wouldn’t reveal the details, saying the rapper has been there for a week and also visited two weeks earlier.

Kanye’s last album, “The Life of Pablo,” was released on Feb. 14, 2016 and since then, the rapper has hinted at a follow-up project. Ten days after the release of “The Life of Pablo,” Kanye took to Twitter and said his next album, “Turbo Grafx 16,” would release in the summer of 2016.

In December, following his release from the hospital, TMZ reported the rapper was back to working on new music. The site reported Kanye had a temporary studio built in his Bel-Air, California mansion. During that time, footage from producer Pete Rock in the studio with West surfaced. The producer’s video featured a list of video game titles leading some to believe it would be the tracklist for Kanye’s next record.

Wherever Kanye West is, the Grammy-winning artist is up to something after deleting his Instagram and Twitter account last week. The move came a month after West collaborated with Mary J. Blige on her new album, “Strength of a Woman.” The rapper was featured on the song “Love Yourself.”

While the rapper remains in hiding, he may have to reappear after recently being called out by Logic. On his latest song “America,” the Maryland rapper called out Kanye for his ties to President Donald Trump and not speaking out against the president.

“Give the people what they want,” Logic raps, addressing Kanye. “Your music is 20-20 but them political views is blurred / I ain’t trying leave ya’ name slurred / Cause honestly I idolize you on everything, my word / But I gotta say what need be said.”

Although Logic’s bars may sound like a diss aimed at “The Life of Pablo” rapper, Logic insists that he’s a fan of West. Speaking with Genius, he said, “I love Kanye West, man. He’s my idol. He’s like one of my favorite musicians of all time. I aspire to be on that level of genius that he is.”

Still, Logic said he lost some love for Kanye after he showed his support for Donald Trump. The rapper said he didn’t understand why West would support the president and then disassociate himself from him. “Look at what Donald Trump is doing, talking about ‘I’m going to ban Muslims. I’m going to revoke things.’ Like he’s been saying that. You can’t just be like, ‘Oh I’m with this.’ And then, ‘Oh, I’m not with this.’”
