Kanye West reacts to "CUCK" album leak, denies track UNCLE is about wife Bianca Censori
Taking to X, the 47-year-old artist accused unidentified individuals of stealing and uploading the project, writing, 'Somebody got a drive and threw it on YouTube and said this is CUCK.'
Somebody got a drive and threw it on YouTube and said this is CUCK
What I love about getting blocked on DSPs and having songs leaked and shows cancelled is…
It proves everything I'm saying and why I'm saying

According to AllHipHop, the album leak surfaced first on Discord before spreading to YouTube, where it was later removed. The unauthorised drop reportedly included a full version of CUCK and unheard songs titled Diddy Free and Free My Kids.
Among the tracks circulated was UNCLE, which sparked speculation due to its alleged connection to Kanye's wife, Bianca Censori.
Addressing the rumours directly, West stated, 'UNCLE is not on CUCK and is not about my wife.' The song was said to tell a story of a woman involved in sex work following abuse, but West firmly denied any link to Censori.

In addition to responding to the leak, West continues to tease his upcoming film project WW3, which has been in development for several months.

Kanye West blocked from entering Australia
Australia has cancelled US rapper Kanye West's visa over his song glorifying Nazi leader Adolf Hitler, the government said on Wednesday. The 48-year-old musician, who has legally changed his name to Ye, released Heil Hitler on May 8, the 80th anniversary of the defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II. West — whose wife Bianca Censori is Australian — has been coming to Australia for some time because he has family in the country, Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke said. "He's made a lot of offensive comments. But my officials looked at it again once he released the '' song and he no longer has a valid visa in Australia." Asked if it was sustainable to bar such a popular figure, the minister said: "I think what's not sustainable is to import hatred." Australian citizens have freedom of speech, Burke added. "But we have enough problems in this country already without deliberately importing bigotry." Kanye West's Heil Hitler song stirred public opposition last week in Slovakia when it was announced he would be playing a concert there in July. More than 3,000 people signed a petition against West's performance in the Slovak capital. The rapper - a vocal supporter of US President Donald Trump — is "repeatedly and openly adhering to symbols and ideology connected with the darkest period of modern global history", two groups behind the petition said. "Kanye West's concert in our city and our country is an insult to historic memory, a glorification of wartime violence and debasement of all victims of the Nazi regime," the petition read. In the Heil Hitler clip, dozens of Black men — wearing animal pelts and masks, and standing in a block formation — chant the title of the song, as West raps about being misunderstood and about his custody battle with ex-wife Kim Kardashian. The song ends with an extract of a speech by the Nazi dictator.

India reverses ban on Pakistani channels and celebrities' accounts
Listen to article India has lifted the ban on Pakistani YouTube channels and artists' social media accounts, allowing Indian viewers to once again access to Pakistani content. Ahad Raza Mir, Mawra Hocane, Yumna Zaidi and Danish Taimoor are among the celebrities whose accounts have been reinstated. However, several accounts are still inaccessible to Indian users, including those of Mahira Khan, Fawad Khan, Wahaj Ali, Iqra Aziz, Farhan Saeed and Hania Aamir. After the April 22 shooting, which targeted tourists in Pahalgam, located in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) and left 26 civilians dead, India had imposed restrictions on Pakistani YouTube channels and the social media profiles of several Pakistani actors and celebrities. Tensions between India and Pakistan further escalated in May when the Pakistan Air Force shot down six Indian jets in retaliation for missile strikes on its territory. The conflict also disrupted the release of Fawad Khan's film Abir Gulaal, starring Vaani Kapoor, with a ban. Posters featuring Pakistani stars Mahira Khan and Mawra Hocane were also removed from Bollywood movie posters on streaming platforms. Read: Instagram accounts of Mahira Khan, Hania Aamir, Ali Zafar blocked in India Indian social media users confirmed that the ban has been lifted by sharing screenshots of previously blocked Pakistani channels and accounts. Not even 3 months into the ban and Pakistani channels are back, many Pakistani actresses' Insta accounts unbanned in India, reports say India vs Pakistan Asia Cup match in September 🙏🙏 — Prayag (@theprayagtiwari) July 2, 2025 Before that, Indian users attempting to view the profiles of Pakistani actors were met with a message stating: 'Account not available in India. This is because we complied with a legal request to restrict this content'. Several Indian media outlets, including India Today and Hindustan Times, also reported the lifting of the ban, confirming that access to Pakistani YouTube channels and some celebrity Instagram accounts has been restored. Earlier, Sardaar Ji 3, a Punjabi horror-comedy starring Diljit Dosanjh, became the center of controversy due to Hania Aamir's involvement. The Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) and the Film Federation of India had reportedly urged the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) to block the film's release due to her involvement. Ahead of the film's international release, actress Neeru Bajwa reportedly unfollowed Hania on Instagram and removed all promotional content related to the movie from her profile. Many interpreted it as a response to growing criticism in India over the inclusion of a Pakistani actor, especially amid renewed nationalist sentiment following the Pahalgam attack in IIOJK.
