Donda was originally supposed to be released in July 2020. Then it got pushed to July 23, 2021, then to August 6, August 15, and even later on that month. Even though we finally have the music now, Kanye would have kept us waiting if he had things his way. Just hours after the album dropped, he took to Instagram to share that his music was released without his permission.

"UNIVERSAL PUT MY ALBUM OUT WITHOUT MY APPROVAL AND THEY BLOCKED 'JAIL 2' FROM BEING ON THE ALBUM," the post reads. As of now, no one at Def Jam or the record label's parent company Universal Music Group has responded to the post.
Kanye's mention of "Jail 2" refers to the song "Jail Pt. 2" on Donda. The song "Jail" along with most of the other songs were available to stream as soon as the album was released. But the second part was added to the list of songs after the fact. But this could have also contributed to the album's lack of cover art.
