Are Kanye West and Lil Baby working on new music? Fans speculate after rappers' pic in a studio goes viral

While some fans hoped they drop more than just one song, like a mixtape or an EP, or even a collaborative album, others said they'll be happy with just a single

After declaring that he wants to collaborate with Atlanta rapper Lil Baby, Kanye West has now sparked rumors that the two are working on a new project together. Back in July, Kanye, in now-deleted tweets, said that he wants to work with Lil Baby. The 'Jesus is King' rapper had tweeted, "Lil Baby my favorite rapper but won’t do a song wit me."

Lil Baby, the 'Yes Indeed', 'Drip Too Hard' and 'The Bigger Picture' rapper, had responded to the news that Kanye wants to collaborate with him by tweeting, "Nobody told me ye was trying to get me on a song that’s f***ed up."

Now, after a few months of speculation, it seems Kanye and Lil Baby are finally working on a track, or a new project, together after a photograph of the two rappers in the studio together went viral on social media. A Twitter handle shared the image on the micro-blogging site. 

Fans quickly started guessing what the two musicians can be up to. While some hoped they drop more than just one song, like a mixtape or an EP, or even a collaborative album, others said they'll be happy with just a single. One user, expressing their excitement, wrote, "I really can’t wait to hear that Kanye and Lil Baby song."

Another Twitter user informed where the picture was clicked saying, "Kanye and Lil Baby in Wyoming in July (7.28.20)." Wyoming is where Kanye's ranch is located, where he usually lives and works.

Some were quick to make jokes about the situation, like this one Twitter user who wrote, "Kanye would be doing Sunday Service in Atlanta right now but it has been postponed for 25 minutes as he accidentally left Lil Baby in Wyoming."

Looking at the photograph of the rappers together, Kanye and Lil Baby fans were sure they'll be delivering a banger together. One fan tweeted, "By the look on Kanye West face Lil Baby and Mr. West got a banger coming."

There were also an onslaught on memes, like the ones below.

On the work front, Lil Baby recently released his sophomore album 'My Turn' this year while Kanye, who last dropped 'Jesus is King' in 2019, and premiered his latest single 'Wash Us in the Blood' featuring Travis Scott on June 30 this year. The track was supposed to be a part of Kanye's tenth studio album 'Donda: With Child' to be released on 24 July this year but has since been indefinitely delayed.
