Kanye 'Ye' West drops new album amidst another disgusting online rant
The album is also available in three versions - 'Latest', 'Post Hype' and 'Post Post Hype' - all of which were shared for free via Frame.io.
For the time being, it's unclear whether the album will get a physical release or if it will be made available via other digital streaming platforms.
What is clear, however, is that the new album launch has been overshadowed by yet another social media meltdown, in which the rapper spewed bile and hateful comments that has left already conflicted fans horrified.
In his most recent X outburst, Ye declared himself as 'evil', has claimed he 'beat women' - much like Carti, who has faced accusations in 2023 of assaulting his then pregnant girlfriend.
He also renewed his support for Sean 'P Diddy' Combs, who is facing charges such as racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking.
Fans have spoken out on this recent meltdown, with many expressing shock and dismay over his recent comments. These can be summed up by a user who said: "It's getting harder and harder to defend you gang."
Last week, Ye dropped a new song, 'Lonely Roads Still Go To Sunsine' and claimed it featured Diddy, his son Christian 'King' Combs and West's own 11-year-old daughter, North.
This led to the release of text conversations in which his ex-wife Kim Kardashian revealed that she had sent paperwork to West so North 'wouldn't be in the Diddy song to protect her.' This was followed up by West telling Kardashian: 'Amend it or I'm going to war and neither of us will recover from the public fallout.' He concluded: 'You're going to have to kill me.'
This followed a string of highly controversial posts in which he posted a picture of KKK robes, rescind his apology to the Jewish community for his past antisemitic remarks, declare himself 'a Nazi' and assert that he has 'dominion over his wife'.
According to recent reports, Kardashian is reportedly weighing legal action to seek full custody of her four children with West.
An insider revealed to Us Weekly that Kardashian is 'in a very tough position when she really has to co-parent with him,' adding that Kardashian prioritizes her children's well-being.
A thief who stole a golden toilet from Blenheim Palace - the country mansion where Winston Churchill was born - has been convicted along with an accomplice who helped cash in on the spoils of the 18-carat work of art insured for nearly £5 million (€5.9m).
Michael Jones, 39, was found guilty of burglary in Oxford Crown Court. He had used the fully functioning one-of-a-kind latrine - a satirical work titled 'America' by Italian conceptual artist Maurizio Cattelan - as he did reconnaissance at Blenheim Palace the day before the theft, prosecutors said. He described the experience as 'splendid.'
He returned before dawn on 14 September 2019, with at least two other men armed with sledgehammers and crowbars. They smashed a window and pried the toilet from its plumbing within five minutes, leaving a damaging flood in their wake as they escaped in stolen vehicles.
'This was an audacious raid which had been carefully planned and executed," prosecutor Shan Saunders said. 'But those responsible were not careful enough, leaving a trail of evidence in the form of forensics, CCTV footage and phone data."
Cattelan's artwork poked fun at excessive wealth and weighed just over 98kg. The value of the gold at the time was £2.8 million (€3.3m).
The piece had previously been on display at The Guggenheim Museum in New York. The museum had offered the work to Donald Trump during his first term in office after he had asked to borrow a Van Gogh painting.
The gold toilet has never been recovered but is believed to have been cut up and sold.
The theft was planned by James Sheen, 40, who previously pleaded guilty to burglary, conspiracy and transferring criminal property.
Sheen then worked to broker a deal with Fred Doe to cash in on the haul, prosecutors said. In a series of text messages, Sheen referred to the loot as a 'car,' but he was actually talking about the gold.
'I'll link up with ya, I got something right up your path,' Sheen told Doe in one message.
'I can sell that car for you in two seconds ... so come and see me tomorrow,' Doe said in a reply.
Doe, 36, also known as Frederick Sines, was convicted of conspiracy to transfer criminal property.
A fourth man charged in the conspiracy, Bora Guccuk, 41, was acquitted by jurors.

Gwyneth Paltrow has always been selling what money can't buy
In Gwyneth, which is based on more than 220 interviews with Paltrow's childhood pals, film colleagues, close friends and former Goop employees, Odell shows how Paltrow 'helped bring the wellness movement and alternative medicine into the mainstream — to the horror of doctors and academics,' who regularly debunked Goop's declarations in print and on camera. For a long time, both Paltrow and Goop were able to slough off the medical community's criticism like so many dead skin cells, because the brand's customers would buy what she was selling no matter what. Paltrow was Goop's superpower: the company's founder, chief executive and ambassador, who claimed to practice what it preached, and embodied all that it promised. Paltrow connected to her customers and subscribers with her 'straight dope' talk — one of her Goop Gift Guides, for example, was called 'Ridiculous but Awesome,' and she told her 'goopies' that she likes her wrinkles — and assured them that if they bought her message, and the products she hawked on Goop, they could live, and even look, like her. As Odell posits, Paltrow used her fame 'to commodify her taste and lifestyle, and sell it back to us, even though her life is the very definition of something money can't buy.' At the same time, in the business community, the former It Girl came across as the ultimate zeitgeist channeler, able to swiftly adapt to cultural shifts and bail on initiatives that didn't work. She refashioned herself as the Oprah Winfrey and Martha Stewart of the clean living space, creating a new template for celebrity entrepreneurs, such as the Kardashian/Jenners, Rihanna and Hailey Bieber, to follow. With Goop, Odell writes that Paltrow gave 'a master class in commanding the attention economy that now rules culture.' (Her appearance in a video this week as a 'temporary spokesperson' for Astronomer, the company at the centre of the Coldplay kiss-cam scandal, only underscores this point.) But all was not well at the wellness brand. Employing the same dogged reporting she brought to Anna: The Biography, her 2022 bestseller on long-time Vogue editor Anna Wintour, Odell discovers that under the veneer of quiet perfection and rarified taste, Paltrow's erratic, aloof and, at times, wicked behaviour created a toxic work environment of epic proportions. What was seen from the outside as flexibility and adaptability was, in fact, Paltrow's dizzyingly short attention span, resulting in zig-zag decisions that confounded and exhausted employees. Her queenly demands — like having her test-kitchen chef prepare her lunch daily, and expecting employees to respond to her internal communications instantly — further alienated the people who worked for her. When her orders or standards were not met, she'd turn snippy and cold. 'I can be mean,' Paltrow has admitted. 'I can ice people out.' Perhaps not surprisingly, Goop burned through staff. While Goop churned internally, its outward appearance largely remained as flawless and smooth as Paltrow's complexion. She'd meet with potential investors, and, by expertly playing the role of a steady, hands-on chief executive, convince them to give her millions for Goop. She'd pose for selfies, too, which no doubt helped seal the deals. Odell reports in the book that in 2018, Goop was valued at an astounding 250 million dollars. Yet, she writes, it has never experienced sustained profitability. As Paltrow's father, the director and producer Bruce Paltrow, once told her about the difference between the public perception of her and her true self: 'You've got the whole country fooled.' Until she didn't. Eventually, government authorities cracked down on Goop for spurious health claims regarding products it sold on its site. Like the Egg, an ovum-shaped stone in jade or rose quartz that Goop expert Shiva Rose recommended inserting in the vagina to 'increase orgasm' and 'invigorate our life force.' The medical community condemned the Egg, warning it could lead to bacterial vaginosis or toxic shock syndrome. California district attorneys sued Goop over its unproven statements, and the company was fined. The site continued to sell the Egg without those claims. Once it became clear that Goop was not the unicorn that investors initially thought it would be, they began to turn away. They weren't the only ones. Though the wellness industry is booming — it is expected to reach 9 trillion dollars worldwide by 2028, and the full-throated embrace of supplements and 'doing your own research' has become official US policy under Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — Goop's business has stagnated. Last year, the newsletter Puck reported that Goop sales have been flat since 2021, and, in 2024, the company laid off about one fifth of its 216-person workforce, including several employees in the content department. As a result, the site has significantly reduced its editorial component, and amped up e-commerce. And Odell reports that there is talk inhouse of selling the company. (Paltrow did say in a March 2025 interview that she's 'not thinking about an exit right now.') Is it worth anything without Paltrow? She is the reason most consumers patronise Goop. Will she stay? Hard to say, though her commitment to the company is clearly less ardent than it once was. She's spoken publicly about wanting to slow down and the toll that being a CEO has taken, and she has pivoted back to film full time, with two new movies out later this year, including one with Timothée Chalamet. Which begs the question: Who does Gwyneth Paltrow really want to be: America's Sweetheart? An It Girl? Influencer? Entrepreneur? Tycoon? Maybe, as with her film career, all have simply been roles, and once she plays them, she moves on. Despite Goop's longevity, Paltrow still defies comparison. She's not, after all, very much like Oprah or Martha. (They both made billions.) And she's not much like the Kardashians either — her Beverly-Hills-by-way-of-Spence sangfroid means she's never been accused of vulgarity or dismissed as 'famous only for being famous.' What's certain is this: Whatever she does next, we'll be paying close attention.
