What’s a Kanye West release without controversy?

The rapper’s ‘Donda’ album made its long-awaited debut today, after a month-long delay.

Ye made quite the spectacle of the project’s imminent arrival with a series of stadium “listening” events – all of which drummed up ample buzz, but notably did not confirm a release for the project.

Taking to Instagram moments ago, he wrote:

“Universal put my album out without my approval and they blocked Jail 2 from being on the album.”

The original ‘Jail’ features JAY-Z, while it’s notable that the “Jail 2” he mentioned appears to reference the DaBaby version he previously previewed.

Oddly, as at writing, That Grape Juice can confirm that the track is available to play on the streaming version of the project:
