In an interview with Complex, Steven Victor says that Ye is back in the studio working on DONDA 2.
“Ye has started working on his new masterpiece DONDA 2,” said Victor, who is COO at G.O.O.D. Music and SVP of A&R at Universal Music Group.
After a series of delays and listening events, Ye’s 10th studio album was finally released to streaming services in late August featuring appearances from JAY-Z, Travis Scott, Playboi Carti, Lil Baby, Lil Durk, Roddy Ricch, and more. It topped the Billboard 200 and was certified gold, earning Grammy nominations for Album of the Year and Best Rap Album.
In November, he released a deluxe version of the 27-track album with five additional songs, including a collaboration with André 3000.
While details remain scarce, Kanye was recently in the studio with Scarface. Fans are also hopeful for a Drake collaboration after the two squashed their beef and reunited during a benefit concert for Larry Hoover last month.

Meanwhile, Ye’s love life has been making headlines. The billionaire bachelor was spotted on a date with Uncut Gems actress Julia Fox as he and Kim Kardashian finalize their divorce.
Ye released Donda on Aug. 29, 2021, with its rollout characterized by several high-profile delays. He hosted three public listening events for the album in July and August, and the record failed to materialize after each one until it appeared on streaming services at the end of the month.
