Kanye West has confirmed that he and Drake are working on an album together. Speaking to Vogue, West said: “We’re just working on music, working on a bunch of music together, just having fun going into the studio. We’re working on an album, so there’s some exciting things coming up soon.”
A joint venture between the pair had previously been hinted at, when a billboard appeared in Los Angeles next month, displaying a pairing of West’s GOOD Music and Drake’s OVO logos.

West offered no more information, but the announcement might be a welcome piece of good news for Drake. On Tuesday night, while he was playing in Phoenix, Arizona, a thief broke in to one of his tour buses and stole up to $3m (£2.24m) worth of jewellery belonging to his DJ, Future the Prince.
A bag containing the jewellery was later recovered by police, and a suspect – a 21-year-old named Travion King, who has sometimes worked as a stagehand at the Talking Stick Arena, where Drake was playing – was arrested on Wednesday.
Phoenix police spokesman Sergeant Vince Lewis said King had been identified through CCTV footage.
