Kanye West Appears To Shade Ex-Girlfriend Irina Shayk On 'DONDA' Album In Apparent Comparison To Estranged Wife Kim Kardashian: 'You'd Never Live Up To My Ex'

Kanye West finally dropped his long-awaited 10th studio album, DONDA, and the hidden messages scattered throughout the 26 tracks could be described as eyebrow-raising, to say the least.
On Hurricane, Ye raps, "Here I go, actin' too rich, here I go, with a new chick" – an apparent reference to his very recent ex-girlfriend, supermodel Irina Shayk.
Actor Bradley Cooper's baby mama was West's only public relationship after his estranged wife, Kim Kardashian, filed for divorce in February.
West and Shayk reportedly started dating sometime between March and May, shortly after the rapper was reported to be worth $6.6 billion.
Their first public sighting was in early June in Provence, France, for Ye's 44th birthday.
They were spotted smiling and walking around a luxury boutique hotel, looking very much like a couple. In addition to their alone time, the duo also reportedly hung out with a few friends.
However, Kanye and Irina reportedly started spending less time together in July, with sources saying the supermodel was the one who started to pull away.
By mid-August, insiders said they had officially broken up.
Following his split from the runway vixen, West was spotted wearing his wedding ring. He then reunited with Kardashian for a seemingly romantic lunch at celebrity hotspot Nobu in Malibu, California.
