Kanye West Cryptic Tweet: Due Date, New Album, Or What?

Kanye West is no stranger to leaving cryptic updates on Twitter. Recently, he tweeted “June 18th”, having everyone wondering what’s behind it.

Mr. West deleted a lot of tweets on May 2nd, leaving the tweet “June Eighteen”. Kanye West is known to tweet inspirational messages such as “soul” and “honor”. He took a break from a major hiatus to Twitter.

Some speculate that the tweet is the due date of his first child with Kim Kardashian. During an interview, Kim Kardashian told reporters her due date was early July, but sources say they overheard Kim say the due date was mid-June. While Kim hasn’t been shy about showing off her baby bump, she has been hush hush on the exact date.

The date could be related to the long awaited release of West’s newest album, Cruel Summer, the follow up to Cruel Winter. West has mentioned that he had been working on an album for quite some time now, but has yet to give details on an actual release date. However, it would be unlikely that he would drop an album around the same time as Good Music’s Big Sean.

Another speculation is that Kanye West is revealing the release date to the rapper’s fashion line in Paris. West has been in the works on a line with British design partner Katie Eary, an up and coming designer, who graduated from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in 2008. The line is supposed to be shown on June 18th at the London Fashion Week’s Menswear viewing.
