Kanye West had been scheduled to drop new album Donda: With Child on Thursday at midnight – however he failed to do so.
The rapper, 43, who suffers with bipolar disorder, announced the release of his 10th debut studio album earlier last week, claiming it would be out on Friday July 24.
But after he made a worrying appearance at his first campaign rally on Sunday and caused a Twitter storm this week, he failed to miss the deadline.
Last week Kanye sparked rumours he’s dropped out of the US presidential race as he tweeted: “Ima focus on the music now.”
About an hour later, he posted a photo of Donda’s new tracklist, writing: “DONDA coming this Friday.”

The album is named after his late mother, who died in 2017.
Songstress Taylor released her brand new album Folklore today however, surprising fans.
She has faced speculation that the clash with Kanye’s own release was for publicity.

But the singer told social media fans that she went with her “gut” and tried not to think too much about the “perfect time” to bless fans with her new album.
She announced the news on Thursday on Twitter, writing: “Before this year I probably would’ve overthought when to release this music at the “perfect” time, but the times we’re living in keep reminding me that nothing is guaranteed.
“My gut is telling me that if you make something you love, you should just put it out into the world.”
Kanye is hiding in a bunker amid reports he’s suffering a bipolar episode
Taylor and Kanye have clashed multiple times – the most recent being over the lyrics of his song Famous.
He claimed he and Taylor “still might have sex” and that he “made that b***h famous”.
Kanye is currently at his bunker in Wyoming as he “refuses” to speak to his wife Kim Kardashian or her family.
He tweeted earlier this week to his 30million fans that he had been trying to divorce Kim since 2018, but later deleted the tweet.
He also compared her mum Kris Jenner to North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un and appeared to call her a ‘white supremacist’.
Screenshots of a tweet saying ‘Kylie stinks’ has also gone viral, with fans speculating if it’s real as it doesn’t appear on Kanye’s Twitter account currently.
