Is rapper Kanye West considering the name 鈥淚 Am God鈥� for his next album?
No, he is not, according to an anonymous source that spoke to . In addition, someone that the cited as 鈥渁 reliable source in West's camp鈥� said that the phrase is actually the name of one of West鈥檚 songs on his upcoming album, not the title, which is where the misunderstanding may have arisen. The title, added the source, is 鈥淚 Am A God,鈥� not 鈥淚 Am God.鈥�
鈥淲e would never be so presumptuous or sacrilegious to call ourselves the supreme being,鈥� the source said, according to the Huffington Post. (Your guess is as good as ours as to what that 鈥渨e鈥� indicates.) The source said the album title hasn鈥檛 been decided on yet.
The impression that West was titling his album 鈥淚 Am God鈥� may have come from a article which was discussing the possibility that West and Kim Kardashian are considering the name North for their child.
鈥淢ixed emotions greet reports that Kanye West is considering calling his first child North,鈥� the article by Charles Nevin read. 鈥淚t's a good joke, from a slightly unexpected source (neither the rapper nor his possibly even more famous partner, Kim Kardashian, are best known for their self-deprecating sallies, although the title Kanye is supposed to be contemplating for his new album, I Am God, is said to be 鈥榟alf tongue-in-cheek鈥�).鈥�
West first worked as a producer in the music industry and was a member of the rap group the Go-Getters, which released one album, before he crafted his first album, 鈥淭he College Dropout,鈥� and released it in 2004. 鈥淐ollege鈥� was followed by his albums 鈥淕raduation,鈥� 鈥淢y Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy,鈥� and his collaboration with artist Jay-Z titled 鈥淲atch the Throne,鈥� among other works. He has won 21 Grammy Awards throughout his career.
