Following his recent presidential rally in South Carolina, many onlookers and loved ones are worried about West’s mental health. Various celebrities have taken to social media to express their thoughts on mental health and West’s current situation. This week, both Halsey and Demi Lovato shared various tweets regarding bipolar disorder, a diagnosis Halsey, Lovato and West all have.
Amidst various other bizarre tweets he has shared recently, West also says he has an unfinished album with the Mars Volta. The progressive rock band featured Omar Rodrigo Lopez and Cedric Bixler-Zavala and split up in 2013.
West tweeted a clip of a sports documentary which includes The Mars Volta’s song “The Widow.” He then shares that he has collaborated on an album with the band.
“The Mars Volta we need to finish the album,” he tweets.

Meanwhile, West is also teasing that a new album called DONDA is being released this Friday, July 24. His last full-length album JESUS IS KING was released in 2019.
