Cuck[a] is an unreleased studio album by the American rapper Kanye West, who worked on it in collaboration with the fellow rapper Dave Blunts from February to May 2025. The media personality DJ Akademiks announced it on April 2, 2025, a week after the release of the lead single, "WW3". Blunts' frequent collaborators Quadwoofer and Sheffmade were the primary producers, with contributions from West and Digital Nas, among others. Cuck drew outrage and condemnation for its antisemitic lyrical content.

In early 2025, West caused controversy by making antisemitic statements, endorsing Nazism, and insulting past associates on his X account.[1] Blunts, Cuck's songwriter, wrote tracks based on conversations with West as well as West's X posts. The songs feature controversial subject matter such as praise for Adolf Hitler, West's incestuous relationship with a male cousin, nitrous oxide use, and defenses of Sean Combs. Some songs use artificial intelligence-generated audio deepfakes of West's voice over Blunts.[2]

West promoted Cuck with the singles "Cousins" and "Heil Hitler" between April and May. Cuck was leaked online in May following a charity crowdfunding campaign, the proceeds of which were donated to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. West began to retract his antisemitic statements afterwards, releasing censored versions of "WW3" and "Heil Hitler" and renaming the album In a Perfect World. By January 2026, West had apologized for his antisemitic remarks and removed the Cuck singles from streaming services. The Cuck song "Diddy Free" was given to King Combs and released on his EP Never Stop (2025), while "Gas Chambers" was repurposed as "All the Love" for West's 2026 album Bully.

Background and recording

[edit]

Collaborations with Dave Blunts

[edit]

In February 2025, Kanye West met Dave Blunts and they started working on an album together.[3] According to West, he and Blunts would spend hours talking to each other, and Blunts would write three songs a day based on their conversations.[4] Regarding the creation of album track "Cousins", Blunts recalled that he wrote the song for West after the latter told him about his former relationship with his cousin, being able to tell that the song was "very freeing for him" when conceptualizing it. Blunts believed West chose him for songwriting due to having a "blunt approach to it" without double entendres.[5]

On a June 2025 episode of the Dope As Usual podcast, Blunts further elaborated on his work for the album. According to him, West asked him to write the entirety of Cuck only a day after they met, a meeting arranged by West's agent. Blunts stated that he usually spent 20–30 minutes on each reference track, but once rewrote a track upwards of twenty times at West's request. He based his lyrics off of phone calls he'd have with West (which he described as being "sporadic" in frequency) as well as tweets that West was making at the time.[6] Blunts also published several of his reference tracks online while he was working on the album.[7]

Blunts repeatedly denied that the lyrical content of Cuck is antisemitic, describing the album as being "about one man going between hurt, betrayal and pain and he's putting that shit down..."[8] On September 13, 2025, Blunts took to Instagram to announce that he was cutting ties with West and would no longer work on the album, urging him to "find God",[9] and would later release several diss tracks aimed at West, where he alleged that West "groomed" him into writing the album's antisemitic lyrics.[10][11]

Leak

[edit]

On May 18, 2025, the album was leaked in its entirety after a $999[12] charity group buy for the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum via the messaging site Discord. The leaked album files contained derogatory messaging towards West in its media and metadata as a form of protest, including listing Blunts as the song artist instead of West, listing "AI" and "1945" as its genre and date respectively, and replacing the cover with a 1994 picture of West wearing an antifascist shirt with the title "Fuck Nazis" and a subtitle—"50 year old loser promoting fascism and hate speech"—overlaid onto it.[13] West acknowledged the leak on Twitter, clarifying that the song "Uncle" was no longer part of the album, and its lyrics were not related to his wife Censori.[14][15] According to West, the copy was compiled from a flash drive, and alongside getting blocked from digital service providers and shows cancelled, "it proves everything I'm saying and why I'm saying."[16][13]

Promotion

[edit]

Album rollout and singles

[edit]

On March 6, West stated that his upcoming music would feature an "antisemitic sound".[17][18][19] On March 16, he posted images of a Nazi swastika and the sig runes of the Schutzstaffel (SS), claiming them to be his "new album cover" and "new Sunday Service logo", respectively.[20] West first teased the song "WW3" on March 15 on his Twitter account.[21] Prior to its release, Blunts and streamer Adin Ross had reacted to the song; the latter initially expressed negative feelings,[22] but later seemed to enjoy the song when reacting to it on stream with rapper Kodak Black.[23] West released "WW3" as a single on March 26.[22] On March 30, DJ Akademiks held an interview in which West wore a black Ku Klux Klan-inspired outfit and made further controversial remarks, including stating that he regrets having children with his ex-wife Kim Kardashian. He made negative remarks about various other celebrities, including Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Playboi Carti, Kendrick Lamar, Ty Dolla Sign, and the late Virgil Abloh.[24][25] The following day, West released the music video to "WW3" on Twitter. The video contains a repurposed scene from the American television miniseries Roots alongside graphic sexual imagery featuring interracial sex and footage of a KKK gathering.[26]

On April 2, DJ Akademiks announced that the album, initially titled WW3, would be released the next day, and shared the track listing.[27] Akademiks also previewed the track "Bianca"; the lyrics of the track concern West's separation from his wife Bianca Censori, pleading with her to "come back".[28] When the album failed to drop on April 3, West revealed the album cover, which depicts a male and female Klan member wearing white and red KKK-inspired outfits, respectively, posing in front of a stack of hay bales.[29] The album cover is an edited version of the 2015 photo The wedding of two members of the KKK in a barn in rural America by Peter van Agtmael, who claimed that West's use of the photograph was unauthorized.[30]

The speech by Adolf Hitler that West sampled in "Heil Hitler"

On April 21, West announced that he was changing the title of the album to Cuck (in popular culture, short for cuckold), which he said represented "[his] whole style".[31] He released the music video for the second single called "Cousins" the same day in a tweet, revealing the song is based on his cousin who's imprisoned for murdering a pregnant woman a few years after West told him they wouldn't "look at dirty magazines together" anymore.[32] The track contains lyrics discussing West's experience having an incestuous relationship with a male cousin as a child and his recreational use of nitrous oxide.[8] The music video consists of low quality footage drawn from home media, TV commercials, and pornography.[33]

On May 7, West stated on Twitter that he was uploading the third single called "Heil Hitler". On May 8, he released the music video for the single, featuring men draped in animal skins singing the chorus, with the outro sampling a speech by Adolf Hitler.[34][35] West subsequently released the song on SoundCloud and Scrybe. West then stated on May 9 that the song was "banned by all digital streaming platforms".[36][37] An instrumental version titled "The Heil Symphony" was uploaded in its place on May 14.[38][39]

Retractions and alterations

[edit]

On May 20, "WW3" was removed from all streaming services, followed by West tweeting that he was "done with antisemitism" following a FaceTime call with his children on May 22. He asked God to "forgive [him] for the pain I've caused" and said that he forgave those who caused him pain.[40] He later re-uploaded the song, with new black cover art and censoring of the words "Nazi", "Swastikas", "Hitler", "Antisemitic" and "Mein Kampf".[41] "The Heil Symphony" was also taken down, later re-uploaded with black cover art and the updated name "Hit Symphony".[42] On May 31, a song titled "Hallelujah" was uploaded to YouTube before being added to streaming services. The song itself, which is an edited version of "Heil Hitler", censored the phrase "Heil Hitler" and replaced it with "Hallelujah", with "all my niggas Nazis" being changed to "all my niggas got me". The only other censored word is "Nazi" during the line "So I became a Nazi yeah, bitch I'm the villain".

On June 22, West posted to X that he was thinking about changing the album's name from "CUKKK" to "IN A PERFECT WORLD".[43][44] He later posted "IN A PERFECT WORLD", implying that it was the new title for the album.[45] Blunts also updated the caption of an image of him and West on Instagram, changing it from "CUCKS" to "IN A PERFECT WORLD" to reflect the name change.[46] In an interview with VladTV, Blunts claimed that West had moved on from antisemitic rhetoric, stating that, "he's not on that anymore, he's doing better now."[47] The song "Diddy Free", originally featured on Cuck, was reworked and released on Never Stop on June 27, an extended play (EP) by Christian "King" Combs, which was executively produced by West.[48]

West would later play "Gas Chambers", also known as "All the Love", in a rehearsal a day prior to his concert in Shanghai on July 11, but he did not play the song during the concert.[49] The album tracks "WW3" and "Hallelujah" were played at the concert on July 12 without West's approval or knowledge according to a post made by his team on Xiaohongshu,[50] along with songs from his upcoming album Bully and his song with YoungBoy Never Broke Again, "Alive" (2025).[51]

Since then, on November 17, "WW3," "Cousins", and "Heil Hitler", along with their alternate versions "Hallelujah" and "Hit Symphony", were removed from all streaming services following his apology to Rabbi Yoshiyahu Yosef Pinto.[52] In January 2026, West published an open letter in The Wall Street Journal in which he apologized for his antisemitic remarks and behavior, stating his outbursts stemmed from manic episodes in which he "gravitated toward the most destructive symbol I could find, the swastika", as he refused to accept his bipolar disorder diagnosis. West said he was "deeply mortified by [his] actions" and pledged to take "accountability, treatment, and meaningful change".[53] The song "Gas Chambers" was repurposed for Bully under its alternate title "All the Love", appearing in the tracklist for the album. West would later play "All the Love" during his concert in Mexico on January 30th and January 31st.[54][55][56]

Reception

[edit]

In 2026, Pitchfork's Kieran Press-Reynolds said they preferred Cuck over Bully, writing that while Cuck "sprayed out plaudits for Hitler and demands to free Diddy... it was at least, at times, a shockingly vulnerable clusterfuck unlike anything a major star has released in history, and with unexpectedly hooky samples of underground rock and classic acid house. Even at his bleakest moments of self-professed nitrous and porn addiction, when he was prohibited from seeing his children, [West] still knew how to make a song."[57]

Track listing

All songs are reportedly written by Dave Blunts.[8] This track list refers to the May 18, 2025 leak.[58]
