Kanye West News: What He's Not Naming His Album, New Designer Shoe Revealed

Yesterday, a rumor spread all over the internet saying Kanye West was going to name his next album "I Am God." E! News says that an insider has confirmed to them it is not true.

MTV is saying a possible title for Kanye West's sixth album could be "Rich Black American" or "Black American Psycho." However, MTV cannot confirm if those titles are in the running because Kanye West has said he "don't do no press" when it comes to his new album.

Kanye West has always been a controversial figure in the rap industry. In 2005 he released a single titled "Jesus Walks," then in 2006 he reenacted the Crucifixion on the cover of "Rolling Stone Magazine". He is the only known rapper to be called a "jack-ass" by a United States President.

And who could forget his drunken exploits at the 2009 MTV video music awards when he grabbed the microphone from Taylor Swift and told her Beyonce deserved her award. During a charity event for hurricane Katrina Victims, Kanye West said "George Bush hates black people."

Despite E! News confirming a source said he will not be calling the entire album "I Am God," Glamour has reported the first single off the album will bear that title. A source close to West said about the album title, "We would never be so presumptuous or sacrilegious to call ourselves the supreme being." But it seems calling his single "I Am God" is okay.

Rapping and making controversial statements are not West's only talents; he is also a fashion designer. Perez Hilton is reporting Kanye West collaborated with designer Giuseppe Zanotti to create a pair of crocodile sneakers.

What is being called the "London Kanye Croc" is being sold online for $1,053. A picture was posted on Instagram of 50 Cent wearing the shoe with a caption reading, "50 rockin the YEEZi x Giuseppe." Perez Hilton says that's all the confirmation he needs to say the rapper and the designer have joined forces.
