Two sources tell NBC News that Ye has been working on new music throughout the summer.

NBC News has reached out to a Ye representative for comment.

Ye made headlines in October after wearing a “White Lives Matter” shirt during a Yeezy fashion show, and then claimed in text messages he posted to social media at the time that Sean “Diddy” Combs “is controlled by Jewish people.” ” become. He then tweeted, “Death scam 3 against Jewish people.”

He was temporarily banned from his Twitter account at the time, but was suspended again in December for making anti-Semitic comments and praising Hitler. The platform, now known as X, restored the musician’s account last month.

Ye’s comments have been condemned by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and numerous celebrities around the world.

Adidas ended its long-term partnership with Ye following the comments in October. In May, Adidas CEO Bjørn Gulden announced that the company would sell some of the remaining stock and donate a portion of the proceeds to social justice organizations.
