Kanye West may consider himself the "greatest human artist of all time," but he's certainly not the most punctual.

West earlier this week announced Oct. 25 as the release date for his new album Jesus Is King, although fans were naturally skeptical. After all, he had already delayed this album not once but twice in the past month. It was originally expected to drop on Sept. 27, only for Kim Kardashian West to tell fans it was delayed until Sept. 29, a date that also came and went with no album.
