Kanye West reveals KKK-inspired 'WW3' album cover and tracklist following Bianca Censori fallout
The cover depicts two masked figures in white hoods posing in front of hay bales, a visual that has drawn immediate backlash for its racially provocative and inflammatory symbolism.

The album announcement was made by DJ Akademiks, who revealed on April 2 that the project was set to release today. The unveiling comes just weeks after West dropped his last album BULLY. The WW3 tracklist includes provocative titles such as "Hitler Ye And Jesus" and "Free Diddy", continuing a pattern of controversial themes that has become synonymous with West's recent output.

During a recent interview with DJ Akademiks, West appeared wearing a black hooded outfit resembling a KKK robe, further aligning his current aesthetic and messaging with highly inflammatory imagery. The interview mirrored many of his unfiltered X (formerly Twitter) rants, marked by erratic statements and polarising views.
West also uses the album to publicly address his recent personal issues with partner Bianca Censori. On the track titled "Bianca", the rapper claims she left him following one of his outbursts on social media.
Lyrics detail an emotional fallout, including her alleged panic attack and an episode where West tracked her using the Maybach app. "My baby she ran away / But first she tried to get me committed / [...] She's having a panic attack and she is not liking the way that I tweeted," West raps.
Whether WW3 is officially released today remains unconfirmed, as West has a history of announcing projects that face delays or sudden cancellations.

Elon Musk teases AI-powered Vine reviving buzz about defunct short-form video platform
Elon Musk says he's bringing back Vine, his time, 'in AI form.' The brief eight-word post on X set off waves of speculation about what that could mean for the long-defunct six-second video app. Originally launched in 2013 and shut down in 2017, Vine was once a viral hit before losing ground to competitors like Instagram and Snapchat. Musk's statement came without further detail, leaving followers to guess whether an AI-enhanced Vine could mean algorithmically generated content, automated editing tools, or synthetic creators. What's clear is that interest in the platform hasn't faded. His post quickly generated thousands of interactions and even affected the price of Vine-themed memecoins. This isn't the first time Musk has raised hopes for a Vine revival. In 2022, shortly after acquiring Twitter (now X), he ran a poll asking users if they wanted the app back, most responded with a resounding yes. Axios later reported that his team was actively exploring a reboot. The original Vine was acquired by Twitter in 2012 before being shut down in early 2017 during a platform restructure. Vine's co-founder Rus Yusupov reflected in 2022, 'We didn't build the right features in time' and 'didn't help creators monetise.' Still, no official timeline or product details have been confirmed by X. Whether this is a full relaunch or another idea from Musk that may or may not materialise remains to be seen.
