Kanye is involved in yet another controversy, this time over the cover art for his upcoming album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.

Kanye’s delusional in that it’s been confirmed that no one actually ever “banned” the cover, which includes an image of a leering man clutching a green bottle in one hand while being straddled by a naked woman with white feathery wings, a polka-dotted tail, and menacingly sharp teeth inside of of a bright red border.

Check out the “banned” image + Kanye’s twitter rant below:

Banned in the USA!!! They don’t want me chilling on the couch with my phoenix!

n the 70s album covers had actual nudity… It’s so funny that people forget that… Everything has been so commercialized now.

I know that cover just blew yall minds … I wish yall could see how hard I’m smiling right now!!!

I wanna sell albums but not at the expense of my true creativity.

So Nirvana can have a naked human being on they cover but I can’t have a PAINTING of a monster with no arms and a polka dot tail and wings

In all honesty … I really don’t be thinking about Wal-Mart when I make my music or album covers #Kanyeshrug!

I don’t know what the big deal is.? The cover matches the theme of the album, it just shouldn’t be marketed to the kiddies.

An anonymous Island Def Jam source tells the Los Angeles Times that while the label ?strongly urged? West to ditch the image, he ?was told if he wanted to do it, the label would stand behind him.? So unless Kanye changes his mind…. the album cover will stand.
