Kanye West has rarely stayed under the radar for long. For better or worse, he has continued to remain in the spotlight, even as fans hope to see him make headlines for a very different reason. It has been a long time since the songwriter and producer last released something new.

Perhaps that wait is finally coming to an end, as Kanye West appeared to have teased one of the biggest announcements of the year. After celebrating Christmas with his kids and family, he is back with an exciting update about his music career.

Kanye West made an unexpected appearance at Deon Cole’s comedy show at the Hollywood Improv on December 27, surprising the audience when Deon Cole invited him onstage.

Fans were thrilled to watch the two together, cracking jokes and their fun moments on stage. Things got especially interesting when the conversation turned to what fans should expect next from West. Deon Cole asked if the fans should expect something special, such as albums or merchandise releases.

Without hesitation, he simply said, “New album,” sending the crowd into excitement.

West’s most recent full-length release, 'Bully', dropped earlier this year and featured collaborations with Peso Pluma, Playboi Carti, and Ty Dolla Sign. The tease of a new project comes as welcome news for fans before the year ends, hinting at something promising in the year ahead.
