We’re days away from Kanye’s upcoming album (WAVES or SWISH or whatever it’s called these days) and with each day comes a …. weird turn of events.
Fresh off the Wiz tiff, Wednesday (Feb 3) took to Twiitter to post what looked to be a Rolling Stone cover photo (seen above) of himself with the caption “ROLLING STONE SHOT BY TYLER THE CREATOR.”
Just one thing. It wasn’t a real cover for the magazine. Catching wind of the photo, Rolling Stone mag also took to Twitter and posted: “While we love Kanye, and have many mustard-related questions for him, this is not an actual cover of Rolling Stone,” tweeted Rolling Stone‘s official account.
What’s interesting to note is that supposedly, in 2013, he reportedly bailed on a planned cover for the music magazine.
According to Gawker magazine at the time: Kanye West used to be thirsty for magazine covers; not so much in 2013. Yeezy was supposed to be on the cover of the latest Rolling Stone, but after bailing on the interview for reasons unknown at the last minute, the music title settled for its controversial Boston Marathon Bomber cover. A reliable source tells us that Rolling Stone had a Kanye West profile planned for the August 1, 2013 cover. This would have only been the third print Yeezus-era Kanye interview, after Jon Caramanica’s instantly classic New York Times Q&A and W Magazine’s June feature. But for whatever reason, West apparently pulled out of the story. So the digitally illustrated Dzhokhar Tsarnaev profile photo was the magazine’s back-up plan for the cover, tied to Janet Reitman’s 11,000-word opus.
