Chance the Rapper also tweeted about the situation the album release was in. It might have been up to him as to the reason it was delayed, but in the end, Kanye West was on Saturday Night Live and the new album was released on Tidal, as well as KanyeWest.com shortly after the show.
The Life of Pablo is the seventh studio album to be released by Kanye West and as far as the reports go online, it has been in the works since 2013. The initial release was expected to be 2014, but that was not the case. The first version of the album was never released and some of the songs were given to other artists.
Over the last year or so, the album title changed a couple of times. Starting out as Swish, then going to Waves and finally this week it was announced that it would be called The Life Of Pablo.
