Kanye West has never been afraid of using his music as a confessional, and a recently uncovered clip from the DJ Akademiks pool finds Ye opening up in an unfiltered admission about his wife, Bianca Censori, reportedly running away from him after he had a panic attack brought on by his posts. “Bianca, I just want you to come back / Come back to me / I know what I did to make you mad,” Kanye raps on the Dave Blunts-assisted track, showing a desperation he makes clear throughout his verses. Before leaving, Censori allegedly tried to have him committed, adding another wild detail to their alleged breakup. “She’s having a panic attack, and she’s not liking the way that I tweeted.”
Ye’s history of inflammatory statements and strange online antics has bled into his relationships very often, and this track seems like another chapter in that tale. Yet beyond that somewhat desperate entreaty for Bianca’s return, the song takes a much darker turn when Kanye directly compares their relationship to the widely chronicled purported abuse between Cassie and Diddy. It’s a vivid, if somewhat disturbing, analogy that raises questions about how Ye sees the repercussions of his own romantic travails. This confession is further perplexing because Kanye and Bianca have already been here before, quashing divorce speculation. Whether this song is hyperbolic language about their brief separation or a sign of something genuinely more broken remains unclear.

As usual, Ye leaves us hanging on the edge of truth and spectacle, and only time will tell if his words are a statement of fact or a portrait project of what he is feeling, even if it’s in his mind. WW3 is on track to be another surprising but personal chapter in Kanye’s discography. Given his track record for folding real-life errant into his music, fans and critics alike are preparing for what may well be one of his most revealing projects to date. Whether this track is a true request for forgiveness or just another studiously plotted chapter in this relationship that the world has had with Kanye West, we’ll all be watching.
