Kanye West drops controversial album title

Written by . Published: May 04 2015

Kanye West has ditched the controversial title for his next album and changed the name to Swish.


The Stronger hitmaker announced in March (15) that the follow-up to the critically acclaimed Yeezus would be called So Help Me God, noting that "80 per cent" of the record is done.


The religious theme of the title sparked a social media backlash, and West has now announced a change of direction, writing in a post on Twitter.com, "I'm changing my album name to SWISH... I might change it again, but that's the name now."


West has yet to confirm a release date for the much-anticipated album, but he has debuted two new songs, Wolves featuring Sia, and All Day with Sir Paul McCartney.
