Kanye West New Album 2013, 'Yeezus' Album Cover to Feature 'Crucified' Yeezy? Twitter Fans React to Controversial Artwork PHOTO, Rumored Release Date June 18

The rumored release date for Kanye West's sixth studio album "Yeezus" is scheduled for June 18... which means new Yeezy music should drop within the next few weeks. Some fans anxiously await the fresh Yeezy beats, others... not so much. Maybe the "negativity" has something to do with West's controversial (alternative) album cover that recently leaked and went viral on the web. The image (NOT the official "Yeezus" album artwork, yet...) features a caricature of the rapper being crucified. The photo offends several Twitter fans - most of them DO NOT plan on purchasing the new record. Pretty intense stuff... and the album hasn't even been released yet! Read on for more details.

First, here's the alleged "Yeezus" cover album leaked by West through social media awhile back:

Now, here's the alternative album cover art. Still no details on where (or who) the image originated from... but the photo recently leaked online and it's gone viral all over Twitter, Facebook, and beyond.

And several fans aren't digging it:

@SonOfTheKiing: "if you're a Christian...& u find nothing wrong with the Title of Kanye West's new album or the pic on his album cover you're lost

@mimsbiebreezy: "This is @kanyewest new album cover yeah? The disrespect is real KMT stupid idiot."

@JakeVanover: "Kanye West's new album called "Yeezus" is supposed to have the cover showing him being crucified... Really man? That dude is out of hand..."

@iWorkTheHardest: "Oh I saw Kanye West's new album cover... Yeah I won't comment much about that."

@charlie_lachacz: "smh at kanye west's new album cover."

Still, several alleged images of the new album cover have leaked online... and West has yet to confirm any of them. This controversial image could simply be another stunt or hoax. 91.7 "The Bounce" recently tweeted:

@917thebounce: "According to @KanyeWest this is NOT the cover of his new album #Yeezus coming out later this Summer. Or is it..."

But Yeezy has still yet to comment... so look like fans will just have to wait and see!

Stay tuned for further updates... is West getting a little too "arrogant" with this new album for his own good?
