Kanye West: Is 'I Am God' his next album title?

Kanye West was reported to be considering 'I Am God' as the title for his new album, but is that really the artist's plan? Some sources say the phrase 'I Am A God' is actually the title of one of Kanye West's new songs.

No, he is not, according to an anonymous source that spoke to E! News. In addition, someone that the Huffington Post cited as a reliable source in West's camp said that the phrase is actually the name of one of Wests songs on his upcoming album, not the title, which is where the misunderstanding may have arisen. The title, added the source, is I Am A God, not I Am God.

We would never be so presumptuous or sacrilegious to call ourselves the supreme being, the source said, according to the Huffington Post. (Your guess is as good as ours as to what that we indicates.) The source said the album title hasnt been decided on yet.

The impression that West was titling his album I Am God may have come from a BBC News article which was discussing the possibility that West and Kim Kardashian are considering the name North for their child.

Mixed emotions greet r! eports that Kanye West is considering calling his first child North, the article by Charles Nevin read. It's a good joke, from a slightly unexpected source (neither the rapper nor his possibly even more famous partner, Kim Kardashian, are best known for their self-deprecating sallies, although the title Kanye is supposed to be contemplating for his new album, I Am God, is said to be half tongue-in-cheek).

West first worked as a producer in the music industry and was a member of the rap group the Go-Getters, which released one album, before he crafted his first album, The College Dropout, and released it in 2004. College was followed by his albums Graduation, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, and his collaboration with artist Jay-Z titled Watch the Throne, among other works. He has won 21 Grammy Awards throughout his career.
