Ye (formally known as Kanye West), never one to follow convention, stirred up fresh buzz this week with a cryptic post that simply read, “YAGE.” The enigmatic drop, shared across his social platforms, has reignited curiosity around what could be his next musical chapter. Shortly after, Ye posed another open-ended question to his followers: “Who all should be on YAGE,” leaving fans and industry insiders speculating whether a new collaborative project is already taking shape.
Following a remarkably active stretch in 2025—marked by the release of both Bully, a boundary-pushing audiovisual project, and the long-awaited official drop of DONDA 2—Ye has now signaled that more is on the horizon. He’s announced a forthcoming album titled Cuck, originally teased under the name WW3, and has also revived talk of Yandhi, the elusive 2018 project scrapped in favor of Jesus is King. Despite its shelving, Yandhi has continued to stir interest over the years, thanks to a steady trickle of leaks that have only deepened public fascination with the unreleased work.
Ye courts controversy as Cuck gains steam
While livestreaming from Spain, Ye reaffirmed his plans to drop Yandhi, declaring, “We gotta release Yandhi.” Anticipation continues to mount, especially as Cuck—slated to be his twelfth studio effort—builds momentum with two singles already out. One of them, the unflinching “Cousins,” finds Ye revisiting childhood memories through stark, introspective verses that have ignited wide-ranging conversation. The track touches on early experiences with a cousin, navigating blurred lines of innocence and early sexual awareness.
Another track, brazenly titled “Heil Hitler,” has drawn intense scrutiny for its incendiary lyrics aimed at Drake. In the song, Ye leans fully into provocation, delivering verses that critics have called both combative and incendiary. Nonetheless, the rap mogul remains a polarizing force in 2025, with each release deepening the tension between creative expression and public outrage.
