Kanye West is said to be marking out his musical comeback, just weeks after his indecent exposure scandal in Italy.
The rapper, 46, who faced backlash when he exposed his bare bottom on a boat ride in Venice, is seemingly moving on from the drama as he is reportedly in the studio and creating content for his next release.
Sources have told TMZ, the Stronger hitmaker is in a โgreat headspaceโ and has completed nearly 10 songs in the past week.
Ty Dolla $ign, Yeโs collaborator, is also said to have joined him in the recording studio with talk they may release a joint album or solo endeavours.
The reported musical comeback would mark a poignant moment for Ye, who has faced a string of controversies in recent months.

Backlash: Last month, West and his โwifeโ Bianca Censori, 28, sparked major controversy in the city of Venice after they werecaught putting on a graphic display in the back of a river taxi
MailOnline has contacted Kanyeโs representatives for comment.
Last month, West and his โwifeโ Bianca Censori, 28, sparked major controversy in the city of Venice after they were caught putting on a graphic display in the back of a river taxi.
Police investigated the couple over the โdisrespectfulโ incident that included West exposing his bare buttocks in public as Bianca curiously knelt before him with her head in his lap.
A spokesman for Venezia Turismo Motascafi โ the firm that owned the boat the couple were on, said it was โcompletely unawareโ of the incident.
They added the pair would have been kicked off the boat if the driver had noticed their public exposure.
It went on: โThe driver had to keep a lookout for traffic and did not see these obscenities.
โIf this had happened, he would have immediately disembarked and reported the transgressors to those in authority.โ
The Italian rental company noted that โthird person on board the taxiโ who was riding with Ye and Ms Censori had โobstructed the captainโs viewโ to the back of the boat.
Controversy: Since Kayneโs release of Donda in 2021, he lost millions of fans due to his anti-Semitic rants which saw Adidas terminate their $220m annual partnership with the rapper
Music: Kanye has sold 160 million records, won 24 Grammy Awards and had 75 nominations
The company has since banned the couple from using their boats in the future.
This ban is not the first in recent times, as Bianca has recently sparked controversy in Italy due to her wardrobe choices.
Last month, Italian locals complained to the police that the 28-year-old was walking around in public โvirtually nakedโ.
She managed to avoid a fine for that but if convicted of public indecency they could face a fine from โฌ5,000 to โฌ10,000.
The fashion designer โ who is widely believed to be behind all of Censoriโs recent and controversial looks โ and his new muse were first romantically linked in January 2023.
It was just months after his divorce from Kim Kardashian was finalised.
Since Kayneโs release of Donda in 2021, he lost millions of fans after he went on a string of shocking anti-Semitic rants.
The rapper made headlines last autumn for suggesting on Instagram that Sean โDiddyโ Combs was being โcontrolledโ by Jews and later tweeting he would go โdeath con 3 on Jewish people.โ
It saw Adidas terminate their $220million annual partnership with the rapper after putting itโs deal with Ye under review.
They claimed they made repeated efforts โto privately resolve the situation.โ
GAP have also condemned Westโs comments, saying that they are taking โimmediate stepsโ to remove Yeezy GAP products from their stores and shut down their website.
Universal Musicโs Def Jam has also condemned Westโs comments, after splitting with the rapper last year.
They said: โDef Jamโs relationship with Ye as a recording artists, its partnership with the GOOD Music label venture and Yeโs merchandise agreement with Bravado all ended in 2021.
โThere is no place for antisemitism in our society. We are deeply committed to combating antisemitism and every other form of prejudice.โ
It came days after Kanye claimed on a podcast that the sneaker giant โcant drop himโ, despite saying โanti-Semitic thingsโ.
West has had several high-flying partnerships dropped in the aftermath of making a series of anti-Semitic outbursts.
His deal with Balenciaga and Gap also fell through, and the rapper was dropped by talent agency CAA.
