After surprising fans with the Donda 2 drop, Kanye West has hinted at a new album, Yandhi. West appeared on livestream with Sneako on May 1. During the conversation, the two discussed the upcoming releases, to which Sneako asked,

"Are you ever gonna release Alien?"

Kanye West took a second and then replied,

"We gotta release Yandhi"

Yandhi, a portmanteau of Kanye West's new legal name Ye and Mahatma Gandhi, is his unreleased album first announced in 2018. At Tyler, The Creator's Camp Flog Gnaw festival, Kanye West and Kid Cudi debuted their collaborative project, Kids See Ghosts. After the event, Kanye revealed new information about Yandhi on X (formerly Twitter) by adding:

"It felt so good being on the stage last night with my brother Cudi. After performing again, I realize the new album I’ve been working on isn’t ready yet. I’ll announce the release date once it’s done. Thank you for understanding."

According to the latest stream, Ye is reconsidering releasing Yandhi anytime soon. However, he hasn't shared an official date, leaving fans guessing.
