Despite the lack of any confirmation, fans are already getting excited about a potential Yeezus 2. If the assumptions are correct, it would be Kanye’s second sequel in the works.

Earlier this month, Kanye more explicitly teased a follow-up to 2011’s Watch The ThroneLP on Twitter. That tweet was met with some skepticism though due to the rift between ‘Ye and JAY-Z.
Check out some of the reactions to Kanye’s latest ambiguous tweet below.
I don't even know what Yeezus 2 would sound like at this point, definitely not as inventive or smart or defiant…
…but Yeezus is my favorite Kanye album and my heart definitely skipped a beat when I saw this https://t.co/bIEJBpfN6o

HE. BROKE. ALL. OF. THEM. THIS. MONTH.
