Kanye West revealed his proposed album cover that was, according to him, 'banned.' The cover is a caricature of what appears to be Kanye on a sofa with what looks like a mythological phoenix. Kanye tweeted about the cover, but didn't give any specifics as to who or what entity deemed the cover unusable.

"Yoooo they banned my album cover!!!!! Ima tweet it in a few...," the rapper said via his Twitter account on Sunday, before he actually posted the proposed cover. "Banned in the USA!!! They don't want me chilling on the couch with my phoenix!"

"In the 70s album covers had actual nudity... It's so funny that people forget that... Everything has been so commercialized now. I know that cover just blew yall minds ... I wish yall could see how hard I'm smiling right now!!! In all honesty ... I really don't be thinking about Wal-Mart when I make my music or album covers #Kanyeshrug!"

"I wanna sell albums but not at the expense of my true creativity."

Last month’s incident provoked Friday’s hearing. In September, T.I. was arrested from a traffic stop in Los Angeles, where police found drugs on him and his wife, Tameka Cottle. Also at the time of the arrest, T.I. tested positive for opiates while also being in possession of Ecstasy.

After T.I. told the judge that he needed help with his drug addiction and begged to lessen his punishment, the judge gave him two weeks to turn himself in.
