After releasing his latest project, The Life of Pablo, just two weeks ago there are already whispers of Kanye West hitting the road for a tour. According to sources over at EW, Kanye is ready to get on the road and promote the album. “There are serious talks of a tour,” sources reveal to EW. “Of course there’s demand. He definitely sells tickets.” Kanye West hasn’t been on tour since ‘Yeezus’ in 2013, however new tour dates are said to be announced “soon.” Ye’ is currently scheduled to headline NYC’s Governor’s Ball on June 5th. ‘TLOP’ debuted on February 11th and is currently only available on TIDAL, however it’s also been reported, “there is a plan in the works for further rollout of the album that will likely include a physical product.” Stay tuned for more details.
TIDAL Keeps Kanye West’s ‘The Life Of Pablo’ Off The Billboard Charts
Despite being one of the most popular projects out right now, Kanye West’s The Life of Pablo is noticeably absent from this week’s Billboard Charts. Kanye released the album exclusively on TIDAL, telling fans in a recent Twitter rant, “My album will never never never be on Apple. And it will never be for sale… You can only get it on Tidal.” This may have been a bad move on Ye’s part because not only has the album be pirated over 500,000 times, it will never chart on Billboard because of the streaming service. According to Billboard’s vice president of charts and data development Silvio Pietroluongo, TIDAL never released their stream counts. Pietroluongo explained,
“Billboard has been informed that TIDAL is not currently reporting streams for tracks on Kanye’s album to Nielsen Music. Therefore streams from Tidal for this title will not contribute to Billboard’s chart rankings at this time.”
As of now, it remains unclear if or at all, TIDAL will report The Life of Pablo‘s streaming numbers.

Kanye West has been going on some serious Twitter rants lately and I think it’s safe to say that a lot of people are tired of it including his wife, Kim Kardashian West . There have been rumors circulating that Kris Jenner is worried about the Kardashian brand due to his Twitter tirades, but yesterday Kanye tweeted something that none of us could be mad at. He tweeted a picture and captioned it “My Heart” and the picture wasn’t Kim. Check out the tweet in the gallery after the jump.
Kanye West Says He Has New Music With Drake & Future Coming Soon
Random thought before I begin this post: we can poke fun at Kanye and his bizarre “rants” all day long (I know I am,) but we also have to give this man some credit. Websites are making full stories EVERY time he tweets, which just goes to show how influential this man really is. Maybe it’s all an act (probably not,) but he has us all talking either way! Moving on, Ye’s latest round of tweets thanked both Drake and Future for their involvement in TLOP, which we knew from the release of the album credits earlier this week. “I wanna thank my brother Drizzy for helping me on 30 Hours & Father Stretch My Hands,” Kanye wrote. “Drake would come by and just help, no strings. Future also came by to write. We all got new sh*t together that’s gonna drop soon.” Can’t wait to hear that!
