Kanye West Tour & New Album 2015: Rihanna Joining? See Leaked Flyer!

By Lee An Matulin| Feb 04, 2015

Kanye West has been keeping mum on the state of his upcoming eighth studio album, but rumors have it that a tour is already being planned for Yeezy, and accompanying him is none other than Rihanna, Hot New Hiphop reported.

Rihanna already accidentally spilled the beans about West's upcoming tour last year when she tweeted about her Diamond Ball Auction, the proceeds of which go to the Clara Lionel Foundation. Two of the items up for bid, courtesy of Roc Nation, was a package for the "Rihanna Tour Experience" as well as the "Kanye West Tour Experience." You can see the items here.

Despite the leak, both artists have kept mum on the status of a tour. However, what may possibly be another leak recently appeared via Complex, where the writers obtained a photo from an "anonymous, reliable source close to the camps" that hinted that both artists are touring together.

The photo showed a flyer of the possible joint tour, with papers on the background that may hint at tour dates or locations.

Representatives for both singers or for their record label have yet to confirm or deny the rumors.

The writers from Vibe felt it was possible. West recently collaborated with Rihanna and Sir Paul McCartney for a new track titled "FourFiveSeconds," the official music video of which was released on Tuesday.

West and Rihanna also headlined the pre-Super Bowl concert by Direct TV on Sunday Night. Rihanna was also featured on West's song "All of the Lights" off of his album "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy." She also opened up for his "Glow in the Dark Tour," Vibe recalled.

Also, as both artists are preparing to release their respective albums this year, they might consider releasing them at the same time or at dates close to each other's, which may follow with a joint tour.

A source told Hollywood Life, however, that the report was false, saying it was all "purely speculation."

Also, West has been keeping vague about the status of his album, according to Rolling Stone. During an interview with Ellen DeGeneres for "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," West said the album was still in the process of being made.

"We're still trying to find it, trying to find the vibe," he said. "This transition from what I felt when I did 'Yeezus' to what I feel now, and we're just creating, so we haven't found it yet."

West will be appearing at the upcoming 57th Grammy Awards on Sunday where he will perform "FourFiveSeconds" alongside McCartney and Rihanna in the track's worldwide debut. He will also perform his new track "Only One" featuring McCartney, the music video of which premiered last week.
