Kanye Wests next album is NOT titled I Am God

On Tuesday, rumors about the title of Kanye Wests next album caused uproar as it was reportedly titled I Am God, boldly suggesting that he was the incarnation of the Judeo-Christian deity.

This is not the first time West has been the center of religious controversy. He was on the cover of the July 2006 issue of Rolling Stone with a bloodied face and wearing a crown of thorns on his head. His interview was titled The Passion of Kanye West a reference to Mel Gibsons lurid film about Jesus crucifixion, Passion of the Christ.

However, the Huffington Post reports that the rumors about Wests next album title are false on many levels. Foremost, a representative for the artist assured, We would never be so presumptuous or sacrilegious to call ourselves the supreme being.

Second, the title was misspelled. Instead of the crass declaration I Am God, the title is actually I Am a God. This phrase is inspired by the Bible itself, specifically Psalm 82 that reads: I said, You are gods, And all of you are children of the Most High. But you shall die like men, And fall like one of the princes.

Furthermore, the source revealed that the title is not for the studio album, but rather for a track included on the album.

Wests songwriter, Malik Yusef, also cleared up the misunderstanding on his Twitter account, writing: @TeamKanyeChi its I am (A) God FAMO #psalms 82.
