Kanye West’s ‘Yandhi’ Gets New Release Date [PEEP]

After changing the ‘Yandhi’ release date from Friday to Saturday out of respect for Lil Wayne’s ‘Tha Carter V’ album, Kanye West has pushed it back to November November 23, aka Black Friday.

The announcement was made by his wife Kim Kardashian on Twitter in a tweet that read, “Nov 23 Black Friday,” tweeted Kim. “YANDHI TRUST ME it is worth the wait.”

People we’re praising Ye for taking a backseat to Weezy, but it seems the real reason he didn’t drop it was because it wasn’t complete. The Saturday release would’ve correlated with his “Saturday Night Live” appearance, where he perfromed one new single before going on a full-on campaign push for his brother, Donald Trump Dump.

‘Yandhi’ will follow May’s ‘Ye’ album and is rumored to include appearances from Lil Pump, Ty Dolla $ign, Kid Cudi, Teyana Taylor, and 070 Shaked. Tekashi 6ix9ine was spotted in the studio with Ye and is expected to also be featured, along with XXXtentaction.
