KANYE West left an intriguing tweet just before I retired for my well-earned 40 winks last night – oh, the mires of maintaining a transatlantic relationship.It read: “Yoooo they banned my album cover!!!!! Ima tweet it in a few...”
Well, he posted the “banned” cover to forthcoming My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy a couple of hours later and, within minutes, it was everywhere.
What the hell is it? It kinda looks how Kanye would look if he were morphed with Sonic the Hedgehog, getting jiggy with Ronald McDonald's winged mother in a drunken stupor.
He added: “In the 70s album covers had actual nudity... It's so funny that people forget that... Everything has been so commercialized now.”
They’ve done you a favour, Kanye. You were cooler when you wore a backpack.
Kanye seems to be the PR king and this revelation can only heighten the frenzy surrounding MBDTF’s release in November.

It looks suspiciously like Kanye West made up this whole story for a bit of (unnecessary) cheap publicity. Sometimes, he does himself no favours.
