NEWS: Kanye West Cancels Free Music Giveaway

Kanye West has announced the cancellation of his weekly Friday music giveaway after tracks from his forthcoming album leaked online.

The rapper-producer has been giving away new songs each week via his twitter account, under the banner ‘Good Fridays’.

However, West has informed fans there will be no free music this week (October 1) after songs from his album, expected to be out in November, have circulated online via various blogs. 

West 'tweeted' and said he was upset by the leak, particularly because the versions circulated are not yet complete and he had been generous supplying music for free already. "Due to blogs leaking unfinished songs from my actual album I've decided to pass on Good Fridays this week," he wrote this morning (September 30). 

"It's messed up that one hacker can mess everything up for everyone... I love to take a year to finish my songs and deliver them to you guys in their most completed form. It would have seemed like since I give free music every week even the lowest form of human being would respect that enough not to leak unfinished songs from my real album."

West also told fans that he had not finalised an exact release date or album title yet despite completing it.

"I'm still contemplating my album date. I'm finished with it but when should I drop?" he asked. "I can't decide on my album title either uuuugh!!!!"
