The text also confirms that Kanye himself is referring to the LP as a sequel. Kanye’s message to Moneybagg read:

“Yo engineer had [the beat] we looped the beginning on. Can you send me that,”

It continued:

“Could you rap on [just] the drums and I’ll put the music around it. I got to lock in with you on Donda 2. Money in front of us. Bulls*** behind us.”

The first Donda album, which is named after the rapper’s late mother, finally hit streaming platforms in August 2021 after several delays. Kanye started formulating the album in 2020.

“Donda” is up for several Grammy awards, including major categories such as album of the year and rap album of the year. The songs “Hurricane,” featuring the Weeknd and Lil Baby, is up for best melodic rap performance, and “Jail,” featuring Jay-Z, is nominated for best rap song.
