Kanye West New Album Release Date: How One Man Possibly Delayed It All, Rapper Takes Shocking Jab At Taylor Swift [VIDEO]
While fans were waiting with high anticipation for Kanye West’s latest very highly anticipated album, The Life of Pablo, it looks like one man has possibly caused a delay for the project that was supposed to be released Thursday.
Infamous pharmacist and businessman Martin Shkreli offered West an offer that he might not be able to refuse. He took to Twitter to reveal a letter he sent to the rapper that showed Shkreli wanted to purchase West’s The Life Of Pablo for $10 million.
The catch is that West wouldn’t be able to sell it to anyone else; so Shkreli would be the only person in the world to have it.
Shkreli then revealed in another tweet Thursday night that his offer could push back the release of the project.
But it looks like others decided to slide in Shkreli’s DMs too because now he has too many to the point where he can’t even see if West has responded to him.
Still, there is even more drama surrounding the album other than Shkreli’s now epic offer West had a special live viewing of the album Thursday at Madison Square Garden and in other major cities across the nation, giving fans a chance to hear it. And it has gotten the attention of Taylor Swift, her fans and her loved ones.
But not in a good way.
He raps in the fourth song on the album, Famous, “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex/Why, I made that b**** famous…” Apparently the song is not a surprise to Swift. In fact, West had already contacted her to promote it on her Twitter. But instead, she sent him a warning about sending the wrong message in the song. Swift’s brother, Austin, is not a fan of the song either and shared a video of himself burning West’s Yeezy shoes.
