It's still unclear when Kanye West will release his highly-anticipated follow-up album titled "Donda 2" on other platforms aside from Stem Player, and fans can't wait to listen to it. In recent reports, an album of the same name started charting on iTunes despite the record not being released yet.
According to Complex, many fans are curious to hear the album. It appears that they wanted it on iTunes as the rapper reportedly dropped the record on a different streaming platform/device called Stem Player, and supporters are required to pay $200.
In the Apple-powered platform, an artist by the name of Wanye Kest released the album, and it sits at the No. 20 spot on the top hip-hop albums chart.

However, there's a big problem. Even though Wanye Kest's record was already purchased by many fans, it is not a leaked album of the rapper but rather a completely different set of songs.
The outlet noted that there were unlucky buyers who fell for the scheme as the tracklist are duplicate titles of the Yeezy founder.
At the time of this writing, neither Kanye West nor Wanye Kest has commented on the matter.

'Donda 2' Available Exclusively on Stem Player
According to The Daily Beast, Kim Kardashian's estranged husband initially announced on social media that his highly-anticipated album will only be available on his Stem Player.
Unfortunately, other streaming platforms like Apple Music, Amazon, Spotify, or YouTube will not carry "Donda 2."
Fans have to pay a shocking $230 for a Stem Player. West described the product as the "first Yeezy tech product" as he ventured more into technology from his usual fashion line.
At the time of the announced release, many fans rallied on social media, expressing their disappointment as the rapper failed to release the album at midnight.
The 11th album's first four tracks were released on February 23, while the 12 others were updated the next day.
Some of the tracks include "True Love," "Broken Love," "We Did It Kid," "Pablo," "Security," "Flowers," and more.
"Donda 2" also features some of the biggest collaborations as West teamed up with renowned musicians like Alicia Keys, Five Foreign, Travis Scott, XXXTENTACION, Soulja Boy, Jack Harlow, Playboi Carti, Migos, Future, and many more.
