Cuck, also known as WW3 and In a Perfect World, is an unreleased studio album by the American rapper Kanye West, who worked on it in collaboration with fellow rapper Dave Blunts between February and June 2025. The media personality DJ Akademiks announced it on April 2, 2025, a week after the release of the lead single, "WW3". Blunts's frequent collaborators Quadwoofer and Sheffmade were the primary producers, with contributions from West and Digital Nas, among others. Cuck drew outrage and condemnation for its antisemitic lyrical content. In early 2025, West caused controversy by making antisemitic statements, endorsing Nazism, and insulting past associates on his X account. Blunts, Cuck's songwriter, wrote tracks based on conversations with West as well as West's X posts. The songs feature controversial subject matter such as praise for Adolf Hitler, West's incestuous relationship with a male cousin, nitrous oxide use, and defenses of Sean "Diddy" Combs. Some songs use artificial intelligence-generated audio deepfakes of West's voice over Blunts. West promoted Cuck with the singles "Cousins" and "Heil Hitler" between April and May. Cuck was leaked online in May following a charity crowdfunding campaign, the proceeds of which were donated to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. West began to retract his antisemitic statements afterwards, releasing censored versions of "WW3" and "Heil Hitler" and renaming the album In a Perfect World. By January 2026, West had apologized for his antisemitic remarks and removed the Cuck singles from streaming services. The Cuck song "Diddy Free" was given to Combs' son King Combs and released on his EP Never Stop (2025), while "Gas Chambers" was repurposed as "All the Love" for West's 2026 album Bully.
