Kanye West has reignited excitement for Watch The Throne 2 by seemingly confirming a sequel to his and JAY-Z’s 2011 album is in the works.
In an early segment from his latest Drink Champs interview tweeted out by N.O.R.E. on Saturday (October 15), the controversial Chicago rapper gave an update on the long-awaited project, which is apparently back on the cards.
“This D’usse is brought to you by my brother Hov,” Ye said in the clip, plugging JAY-Z’s Cognac brand. “Courtesy of The Throne. Part 2 coming soon.”
Watch The Throne 2 has long been anticipated, thanks in part to teasers from both rappers, as well as those within their respective camps. In September 2018, Kanye West reignited excitement for the album when he tweeted: “throne2 coming soon.”
Justin Laboy, who became something of a spokesperson for Ye during the rollout for DONDA, stoked the fire again last August when he tweeted: “Watch The Throne 2 coming end of the year. Kanye & Hov about to make history AGAIN.”
However, concrete evidence suggesting the project is close to being released remains scarce, and while Kanye West and JAY-Z reunited on the DONDA track “Jail” last year, the former Roc-A-Fella running mates don’t appear to be as close as they once were.
Elsewhere in his Drink Champs interview, which clocked in at over three hours long, Kanye West stirred more controversy by proclaiming Drake the “greatest rapper ever,” while also insinuating he had an intimate relationship with his former mother-in-law Kris Jenner.
Ye previously alluded to the alleged rendezvous on Instagram earlier this month, writing: “Drake a fuck ya baby mama’s mama[.] That’s real war.”
“Yeah that was hard,” he said after N.O.R.E. quizzed him about the post. “You know what it mean… Aye, Corey [Gamble] know what it mean,” he added, referencing Jenner’s longtime boyfriend.

Kanye West first appeared on Drink Champs in November 2021, where he addressed the original Watch The Throne and called JAY-Z “selfish” for refusing to give up solo material for the album.
“I took a track off of what was gonna be my album, the follow-up to [My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy]. It was the ‘Otis’ sample,” Ye said. “I chopped it up and I was gonna go to Milan to do something in fashion and I was about to be late for the flight … ‘Cause I was like, ‘Yo, we not gonna lose this game no matter what. I’m gonna give you all this.’
“I took ‘New Day’ off of my next album, I took ‘Otis’ off of my next album. And we got into this big argument because he had this song called ‘Holy Grail’ that he had Justin Timberlake singing on. And I was like, ‘We need to put this on this album.’”
He continued: “And then he was like, ‘Nah.’ Everybody knows Jay is very selfish … We all love him but, you know, he’s very selfish. He’ll say like, ‘Man, I’m selfish.’ So he wouldn’t give that song. I’m like, ‘Man, how I’m giving all of this?'”
“The controversial Chicago rapper” You’ve got that right.
Can’t wait for that. Kanye killed Jay on the 1st
You know it’s a collab and that they aren’t in competition? No one who really appreciates hip hop says stuff like that. “Hey did you hear the last few songs on that OutKast album?, Dre killed Big Boi”. “Hey did you hear that Wu-tang album ghost killed them dudes”.
Only if the album isn’t written, arranged, or produced by Ye then fine.
i have a throne. Its my toilet.
The dumbest shhh I ever heard.
Kanye releases and announcements are as promising as Dre’s recently.
When is this site going to mention what Kanye said about George Floyd’s death?
Have you not heard? This site does not promote any positive or pro community messages. They are here to leach off hip hop. Don’t believe ? Go back and check the news on this site
I forgot about that one song from Watch The Throne… N words from Paris. Decent song aside from the blatant use of racist, hateful terminology of African American persons.
With Kanye’s recent nonsense, Jay Z will never ever work with him again.Kanye is toxic any communication you have with him is subject to be put on social media by him,ask Sean coombs.Only those who need his money will associate with him.Jay Z,I belive ,doesn’t need the stupidity that comes with west.
never
Jay-Z is too controlled by the small hats to collaborate with Ye.Hov’s j0oish handlers will never allow it to happen.
I rather be be by good decisions, than Kanye’s rheortic!!!! He’s controlled by Kardashians and Candace Owens!!!
Kanye is a new genius of ignorance!
His girlfriend Candace and her husband have hustled his millions into their bank app. And the Palar app.
Kanye let the Kardashians Jenners bring him to madness and Candace will continue. His life he seems to be enjoying it. Candace doc, convinced ye that George Floyd died from fentanyl, not being suffocated…..
Why would anyone want to be bothered with Kanye ever. He is a narcissist bipolar sociopathic bully. He only cares about himself. What MAN! talks about another man’s sexual relationship or sexual encounters. A punk!
He’s messy for no reason. He will put your “laundry on the streets, dirt or clean ”
SMH!!!!? Not down with Ye!!!
Kanye the goat. Y’all hate someone youve never met. I bet yall still listen to Rkelly weirdo asz. And black folks are fickle y’all hate the man when he states his OPINION then love him when he does something for the community. PedoKelly touches girls y’all still play him on the radio.
