Wiz Khalifa: Kanye West's 'Waves' Album Tittle Disrespects Max B

Late Tuesday (Jan. 26) evening, West announced that he had officially renamed his forthcoming album slated to drop Feb. 11.

West even joked around calling it the “album formerly known as SWISH.”

However what was more surprising then anything was the “See You Again” rapper’s response to the news as he went on a series of tweets imploring West to not take the “wave." Khalifa claims rapper Max B, who has been incarcerated since 2010, is the rightful owner of the terminology and style.

West must have got wind of Khalifa’s tweets because shortly thereafter he took to Twitter once again tweeting, “All respect to Andre Harrel and Max B #Waves.” The response seemed to put Khalifa somewhat at ease as he tweeted “Yea aight.”

Although West’s seventh studio album isn’t out yet, its already causing a stir. The “No More Parties in L.A.” rapper retracted his original statement deeming it “the best album of all time," and now is claiming it to be “album of the life.” West also announced he would premiere his album in entirety at his Yeezy 3 Fashion Show at Madison Square Garden.
